If it weren't for the current media frenzy over Congressional youth abuse, the US public might be getting a much more educational eyeful of Condi Rice's serial 9/11 truth abuse. Outed in Bob Woodward's new book "State of Denial" for "brushing off" July 10, 2001 warnings of an imminent attack from CIA leaders Tenet and Black, Condi first disputed the claims, denied the meeting happened, then said she couldn't remember, and finally admitted to it but said it contained nothing new (yet apparently told the CIA team to report it to Rumsfeld and Ashcroft which they claim to have done on July 17). The 9/11 Commission was briefed on this dramatic encounter, but it somehow escaped mention in their final report, and finger pointing and official contradictions continue to this day. Although there are plenty of mainstream articles now recounting this high stakes he said/she said blame game, the following blog piece focuses on a critical facet--the role of the 9/11 Commission's executive director, Phillip Zelikow, in covering it all up for his old and new boss, and further shredding the credibility of the Commission's report.
Curiously long, smart and sympathetic article on the truth movement from the Iraq war-supporting Washington Post. Match this little surprise with Amy Goodman's September 11-scheduled debate between Dylan "Loose Change" Avery and someone from Popular Mechanics' debunker squad on Democracy Now! Given that the biggest obstacles to 9/11 truth are still popular fear and ignorance, these broad blasts of audience exposure to the facts are a godsend to us all. That they are now appearing in such heretofore truth-allergic forums also bespeaks how far we've come just within the last year. Looking forward to author Powell's downstream account of the editorial politics preceding approval of this piece, the locker room reactions, and the blowback afterward.
Keith Olbermann takes it to the edge again showing the amazing coincidence of this administration's political needs and US media screens screaming "terror". This enlightening little 10-minute mini-doc clocks ten such recent miracles. "What are the odds?" you may ask, or alternatively, "if Keith had gone one more past 10 would he have arrived at 9/11?"
Edgy new barnburning editorial from the normally 9/11 truth-leary Buzzflash.com folks. As the scale and pattern of administration deception continue to penetrate public consciousness, we believe the linchpin lies of 9/11 will finally become too blatant to ignore.
