9/11 In The Academic Community

[Segami]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by UnderReviewFor3Years (a host of the General Discussion forum).

--Coming this Fall of 2013--Please support the film at 911inAcademia.com and distribute widely-- A Winner of the 2011 University of Toronto Film Festival, the film examines the academic community's treatment of critical perspectives on 9/11 by exploring the taboo that shields the American government's narrative from scholarly examination. Through a powerful reflection on intellectual courage and the purpose of academia, the film aims at changing intellectual discourse on 9/11 and the War on Terror.

2. Look forward to this since I think a lot was left unsaid in the

official 9/11 Commission report. Lots of what we talk about on DU has
its roots in that awful day....the security issue, spying on the American
people, the Patriot Act etc. We need to know all. imho

We still need MANY answers about that day. Project for a New American Century (PNAC- Cheney, Wolfowitz, et. al)'s pre-foreseen "Pearl Harbor-type event" to galvanize public opinion to invade Iraq.

They got their wars and so much much. They took our country away.
