What stories that fell into the memory hole would you like revisited?
I personally would like to hear follow ups on:

1. The wedding party that the US bombed, and then said they were terrorists.

2. The terror tape featuring an American issuing threats about blood flowing in the streets, that was released just after the story broke that the US left Iraqi arms depots unguarded.

3. The Republicans using a flaw in the Democrats computer security to access confidential files.

Anyone have any info on these?

2. Since someone's already mentioned the non-existent WMDs in Iraq
I'll go with my 2nd favorite: How TORTURE could become official U.S. policy, and why hasn't anybody truly responsible gone to prison for it?

3. The US backed coup in Haiti.....
Kidnapping of Aristide, installation of murderers and drug runners, US Marines stand by while Aristide supporters are disappeared and murdered.

Gotta spread that democracy!

6. I'd like to see revisited
the story about the put options on UAL, and American and the AXA Insurance Cy that insured the WTC Towers, and how somehow "Buzzy" Krongard (CIA) is involved in this through the Deutsche Bank and Alex Brown.

I think this is the most humongous forgotten story I could think of...

7. Let me see...where should I begin?
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 08:58 PM by fooj
The missing ammo, 52 warnings pre-9/11, the missing $ (11 billion?), why Condi lied AGAIN (a few weeks ago at conf.hearings), election fraud, why Bush NEVER ACTUALLY declared war, what's up with Bin Laden, Hussein (is he our trophy, or what?), Fallujah...

On edit: Yes! What about that ANTHRAX?

11. I still can't believe the pass the media has given * on the Anthrax.
I mean Jesus they were targets themselves. You would think they would demand some accountability for that.

Four years after Senators, and media were targeted and not one damn thing to show for it.

8. 9-11
What evidence does the administration have that proves what happened?
Does anyone at all remember Condi's press conference where she said, "we have evidence, which will soon be shared with the American people". Maybe not in those EXACT words but damn near.

9. Short term and long term memory hole-
52 warnings

Why did the White House go on Cipro Beginning September 11th?
Were they psychic, or did they know?


Nearly a month before the first reported outbreak, White House officials start taking the powerful antibiotic Cipro to treat anthrax. By the end of the year it will be known that the Ames strain of anthrax used in the attacks against Sens. Leahy and Daschle was produced by CIA programs coordinated through Fort Detrick, the Batelle Memorial Institute and the Dugway Proving Ground.

FBI & BUSH ADMINISTRATION SUED OVER ANTHRAX DOCUMENTS

Judicial Watch Wants to Know Why White House Went on Cipro Beginning September 11th

What Was Known and When?
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that it has filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (“USAMRIID”) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for those agencies’ failures to produce documents concerning the terrorist anthrax attacks of October 2001, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”).
