1. They are a great bunch of women. I find myself wondering though,

why there aren't more 9/11 families being heard, they MUST be speaking, no?

[90-percent]

2. 9/11 FAMILIES NOT SPEAKING

I think many of them are not speaking because there was a lucrative settlement deal with the government and the families that had some strings attached to it.

Something like no lawsuits and no speaking out if you accept this bundle of cash.

In an October 5th response to recent news of yet another pre-September 11th warning that was ignored by senior Bush administration officials, three widows who lost their husbands during the terrorist attcks have issued a statement about what they see as the failure of White House officials to act upon warnings that Al Qaeda was planning a strike on the United States.

Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg, and Patty Cazaza – who are among the four widows from New Jersey known as the Jersey Girls (the fourth being Monica Gabrielle) – have issued a compilation of pre-9/11 terrorism warnings that they believe paints a disturbing picture of a negligent Presidency.

They also address the latest revelation from Watergate reporter Bob Woodward that then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was warned of a possible attack on July 10, 2001 by then-CIA Director George Tenet.

The allegation in Woodward's book, State of Denial, is that Tenet was so concerned about the intelligence showing a possible attack that he phoned Rice and asked for an immediate meeting, which he got that same day, along with the CIA's top counterterrorism expert, Cofer Black. During the meeting, Tenet says, they expressed "in the starkest of terms" to Rice that an attack was imminent. Rice has denied that such a meeting took place, citing the 911 Commission Report, which never mentioned any such meeting.
