The 9/11 Omission Commission & the Lapdog Press.
http://www.nowpublic.com/node/16506">The 9/11 Omission Commission & the Lapdog Press.

On July 22nd, 2005, Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her staff brought together a varied collection of researchers and critics for a Congressional briefing.

The briefing was entitled; The 9/11 Commission Report One Year Later: A Citizen's Response - Did They Get It Right?

There was no national media coverage for what may have been the most important meeting regarding September 11th, 2001 to occur this year. With one exception; an article by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The headline, 'McKinney Re-Opens 9/11' suggests that 9/11 was closed. However, judging by the testimony given at this briefing, the only people who consider 9/11 'closed' are the individuals who make up the administration of George Walker Bush, and the carefully selected members of the 9/11 Commission.

The sub-heading, 'Conspiracy theories implicating president aired at 8-hour hearing' is even more misleading, suggesting that what happened that day was no more than CT claptrap. What a slap in the face to the people who presented their issues with the Report in a very coherent and organized manner that day.

The fact of the manner is that the 9/11 Commission's Final Report has been a failure for thousands of Americans, and nobody can attest to that more cogently and personally than Laurie Van Auken.

Fixed the link---

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in ourselves, but in the Fourth Estate, the press. For without their clamor for truth, our masters may do as they please, even deceitfully they shall practice their arts, till all is in ruin."

C-SPAN2 will be broadcasting the 9/11 briefing in two parts;

Part 1 airs Wednesday August 31, at 8pm EDT.

Part 2 airs Friday September 2, at 8pm EDT.

Have a house party, and get caught up.

2. Thanks, Nonny!
I would fix the link in the original post, but, that's the way it goes.

Human error.
