Richard Ben-Veniste (9-11 Commission) On Ed Schultz Show

[mirandapriestly]

http://www.bigeddieradio.com/
Ed Schultz asked him why the Omission left out why WTC7 fell if no plane had hit it. Schultz prefaced his question with "I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but..." WHY would he be embarrassed to ask such an important question? The majority of his listeners probably suspect something about 9-11. (It goes to show how bullied people are by those they perceive to be "important" or "in authority".)
Instead of answering, Ben-Veniste went into a rant about how some people believe there was no holocaust or they think the earth is flat meaning that considering government involvement in 9-11 is crazy conspiracy talk, although Schultz didn't lay out what it would mean that building 7 fell without being hit by a plane, so it is interesting B-V jumped into damage control mode. Ben-Veniste never even remotely answered the question. What a sham, and this is some of the "democratic" representation on the panel.

btw, let's take a peek at some of his law firm's (Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw) clients (I'm sure this did not influence him at all;))
UAL Corp (United Airlines parent company)
Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw represented United against Ellen Mariani where she sought retribution for her husband's death. She would not accept "Hush Money" from the government.

Not really related to Ben Veniste, but in the Mariani case:
A couple of urls which describe indications of evidence & witness tampering by officials at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), represented by U.S. Attorneys from the Department of Justice (DOJ).(trying to cover up "incompetence"?,lol)

1. This seems to be the new fashion, comparing those who question the OCT

to holocaust deniers. They really ought to have provided him with better answers to questions they should have expected, don't you think? I assume he's there to to sell the OCT, as a sales person he should have already gone over every possible question and prepared himself to respond appropriately. Hell, if he was good he would have viewed it as a golden opportunity.

2. well, they don't even bother to have an excuse for building7

you'd think they come up with something better and Schultz just groveled and said "thank you" even though it was so obvious Ben-Veniste was dodging the question. OCTs on here are always equating questioning 9-11 with sites that "deny the holocaust" -so they can give the impression that people who question the government's role on 911 are anti-semitic.

3. If the CTers would stop linking to sites that ARE anti-semitic...

then perhaps we could cut out all this b.s. Deal?

4. New people find articles without knowing about the site

having some "anti semitic" articles somewhere. I doubt a single poster is aware of the antisemitic articles. The OcTS use this to their advantage frequently. I notice you manage to get the whole thing in your title so everyone can see "anti semitic" .

5. Part of the price we must pay for having the internet...

is that we are responsible for checking sources prior to using them to back an argument. I cannot condone linking from such a site, whether the poster is new or not.

You seriously think that I planned it so that "anti-semitic" would be in the title?
