Four 9/11 Moms Battle Bush

http://www.nyobserver.com/pages/frontpage3.asp
In mid-June, F.B.I. director Robert Mueller III and several senior agents in the bureau received a group of about 20 visitors in a briefing room of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C. The director himself narrated a PowerPoint presentation that summarized the numbers of agents and leads and evidence he and his people had collected in the 18-month course of their ongoing investigation of Penttbom, the clever neologism the bureau had invented to reduce the sites of devastation on 9/11 to one word: Pent for Pentagon, Pen for Pennsylvania, tt for the Twin Towers and bom for the four planes that the government had been forewarned could be used as weapons—even bombs—but chose to ignore.

After the formal meeting, senior agents in the room faced a grilling by Kristen Breitweiser, a 9/11 widow whose cohorts are three other widowed moms from New Jersey.

"I don’t understand, with all the warnings about the possibilities of Al Qaeda using planes as weapons, and the Phoenix Memo from one of your own agents warning that Osama bin Laden was sending operatives to this country for flight-school training, why didn’t you check out flight schools before Sept. 11?"

"Do you know how many flight schools there are in the U.S.? Thousands," a senior agent protested. "We couldn’t have investigated them all and found these few guys."

I have been clinging mostly to the Latest news forum and didn't see the others. Thanks for directing me though.
Darn newbies. :P

(a belated) Welcome to DU! :hi:

Really admire most everyone here. It's like a breath of fresh air. :7

Shut up...shut up...just shut up...cut her mic

would get behind these brave ladies and help expose these ruthless pigs in the White House.

I have a cable news station on for most of the day, every day. I read two newspapers every morning. I listen to the radio when I drive. I hadn't heard of these women until I read about them here in DU. People can't speak out unless they know what's going on, and the mainstream media has a vested interest in keeping certain items out of the news. Again, the main problem is the media

Do any of you know a website for these wonderful ladies where we can donate money to them so they can continue their fight? I would like to donate to them in the memory of Sally Baron but can't seem to find where to send it. Thanks.
