"Path to 9/11" & The New Jersey Senate Race & the EPA
I don't know if it news to anyone here, but it was to people I've been talking to, so I thought I'd post this in case some people aren't aware of it.

Former New Jersey Governor Thomas Keane is an "adviser" on the "Path to 9/11" movie & was also a member of the 9/11 Commission, but what's really interesting is that his son Tom Keane Jr is running against Senator Bob Menendez this November in New Jersey. How convenient for the Keane family if this film makes Democrats look "weak" on terrorism. Lately, Keane Jr has been changing his positions on just about everything because he was behind in the polls, including calling for Rumsfield to resign a few days ago.

I'm hoping somewhere along the way someone will be calling attention to this too. I'm use to 9/11 being exploited, but this really is getting out of hand when someone like Keane has to stoop so low. I thought I had seen it all at the RNC "9/11" 2004 Convention in NY, but it just never stops, does it?

One other thing regarding the EPA & believe it or not, this ties into this whole mess. Our NY CBS channel 2 is running a series by a reporter by the name of Marcia Kramer:

"Documents: Feds, City Knew Of Ground Zero Toxins"

(CBS) NEW YORK Stunning proof has been uncovered that the government knowingly put New Yorkers in harm's way after 9/11.

CBS 2 News has obtained documents revealing that Lower Manhattan was reopened a few weeks following the attack even though the air was not safe.

The two devastating memos, written by the U.S. and local governments, show they knew. They knew the toxic soup created at Ground Zero was a deadly health hazard. Yet they sent workers into the pit and people back into their homes.

I believe Ms. Kramer will be appearing on "60 Minutes" this Sunday with Katie Couric. Of course Christie Todd Whitman, also known as "I'm resigning from the EPA to spend more time with my family" will appear, seems she is changing her orginal "story". While this may not be news to anyone on this board, you would be amazed at how many people across the country, have no idea about it. This could possibly, hopefully, ruin Rudy G's 2008 run for prez. It's not flattering to him or bush. Nor should it be. It's disgraceful. I often wonder how these two sleep at night. Ironically, this will also be presented on the same night as "Path to 9/11". But as far as I can ascertain, it's getting very little publicity, except here in NY.

Unfortunately for NY'ers, bush will be making his token trip to Ground Zero this 9/11. Wondering if he will bring his copy of "My Pet Goat" along with him to commerate the occassion. The misery just never ends. I don't think they will ever allow this city to heal. But be that as it may, I wish someone would challenge him about Homeland Security Funds being slashed & the Toxic Crap he knowingly allowed us all to be exposed to or even the Dubai Ports deal or his ignoring Richard Clarke & all the rest. I hope in the coming days, these issues are brought up....often.
