911 Victim Ellen Mariani Open Letter To The POTUS

Thursday, 27 November 2003, 1:36 pm

Press Release: Ellen Mariani Lawsuit
Open Letter To The President Of The United States

Mr. Bush,

This ''open letter'' is coming from my heart. I want you to know that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and that this is not an attempt to ''bash the Government''.

You Mr. Bush should be held responsible and liable for any and all acts that were committed to aid in any "cover up" of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As President you have a duty to protect the American people. On September 11th you did not instruct your staff to issue a nationwide emergency warning/alert to advise us of the attack on America. We had to receive the news of the attacks via the news networks.

In the months leading up to the attacks you were repeatedly advised of a possible attack on American soil. During your daily intelligence briefings you were given information that had been uncovered that the very real possibility existed that certain undesirable elements would use commercial aircraft to destroy certain "target" buildings. You never warned the American people of this possible threat. Who were you protecting?

4. Media coverage?

Close to non-existent, but not totally non-existent.

There is this one AP story, which you can see here:

9/11 widow fights, won’t settle

By Susan Nolan

DERRY - Ellen Mariani wants answers and she’s willing to forgo money to get them - a lot of money.

The Derry woman’s husband was killed on Sept. 11, 2001. Neil Mariani was on United Airlines Flight 175, the second of two planes to crash into the World Trade Center in Manhattan.

"I want answers," she said. "We are living in fear, and it’s called orange, yellow and red.

I think it's decently done, and doesn't make her out to be crazy. But it appears to have been carried by two New Hampshire papers as a story of local interest only. After all, everyone knows that the story of 9/11 really only appeals to the people of New Hampshire (frustrated eye roll). Overseas, Aljazeera and Pravda have also run stories on it.
