Four 9/11 Moms Battle Bush

By Gail Sheehy

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."

1. This is a great and important article

You're going to want to abbreviate that excerpt, but thanks for posting, there hasn't been enough discussion about this article. There are serious questions here that BushCO needs to answer or face the consequences. These women are brave enough to ask them. Loudly.

3. Abreviated enough yet.... I think this article is a breakthrough too..

I agree. I think this article is a breakthrough I didn't realise I had taken so much. I don't know much about the NY Observer. I know they ran this.

Which at the time I regarded as purely contemptuous. It was a response to Vidal's courageous piece in the Observer. UQ's MalcontentX responded with.

Perhaps they have seen the light.

2. Yes! Good for them.

If I had lost my husband that way, I would park my fat ass right in front of the White House 24/7 until someone talked to me and explained all these screw-ups. I hope they stay strong and get to the bottom of this whole disaster.
