Coleen Rowley:September 11th Advocates Comment on The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11

[laststeamtrain]

<snip>

Despite our vehement objections, Mr. Zelikow was allowed to remain in his position as what seemed to be the "gatekeeper" of the 9/11 Commission. Mr. Shenon's book illustrates just how deeply and insidiously the Commission's basic fact-finding work was compromised by Zelikow's conflicts. He recounts that even after his recusal, Mr. Zelikow continued to insert himself into the work of "Team 3," of the Commission. This team was responsible for examining the White House, and therefore, the conduct of Condoleeza Rice and Richard Clarke during the months prior to 9/11.

<snip>

Why, when this Congressionally mandated Commission could have done much to fix the fatal flaws in our in government by conducting a real investigation and making vital recommendations, would they instead allow it to become a sham. This investigation was meant to fix the loopholes that allowed our country to be so vulnerable. Why would they choose instead, to succumb to political machinations? What would we find out if a real investigation into September 11, 2001 were ever done?

The bottom line is that the most deadly attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor remains dangerously unexamined. This can only be remedied with an investigation guided by the facts and conducted outside the reach of those with a vested interest in suppressing the truth.

1. oh wow Coleen Rowley:or any media for that matter now see's this and talks about it?

when the families of 9/11 and airline personel.. begged to have Zelikow removed from the commission and many many of us wrote to the media begging them to do a story about this guy ..but when the Jersey Girls brought it up they were sneered at by the media..

such bullshit now..this was all brought up in 2004..4 years ago...and before an election took place...and where the fuck was the media then?

Thank you Coleen Rowley now for giving this attention..too bad it is a day late and a dollar short..for all the rest of us ..and perpetrated against this nation by the MSM..to silence the truth....i have files and files and files about Zelikow..if little ole me could have volumns on this guy..where the fuck was the media..you know the fourth estate?


oh yeah..they were planning who we were going to have as president in 2004 and now in 2008..and how we were to follow in lock step.

5. "..but when the Jersey Girls brought it up they were sneered at by the media.."

Wasn't that about time that mAnn Coulter said she'd never seen widows enjoying their husband's deaths so much?

6. but..., but..., a New York Times reporter has written a book...

People like us and the Jersey Girls should know our place. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

9. You seem to be criticizing Coleen Rowley, calling her media.

Coleen Rowley was the Mpls FBI whistle blower. She has been trying to bring attention to this since before 9/11/2001. She is one of the heroes.

3. You mean that it really wasn't the singular result

of a "lack of imagination". . .?

I'm shocked. . . truly shocked.

4. The Commission was flawed

because the only "fix" that would have prevented 9/11 would have been to prevent criminals from gaining control of the government (and the Commission).
This country could have adequately prevented 9/11 if the normal systems and processes in place had been allowed to work. They were not. There were no "loopholes" other than a criminal SCOTUS allowing our country to be illegally taken over by their criminal friends. LIHOP, by definition. The Commission HAD to be a sham.

8. It seems the 9/11 skeptics were right

In Shenon's book one gets the sense that Kean, Hamilton and Zelikow were more concerned with placating government officials rather than conducting a thorough investigation.

10. corporate media LIHOP, too

They failed America and Americans, just as the corrupt BushCo chickenhawk Republicons have committed MIHOP treason against America with 9/11...and more...
