Final 9/11 Commission hearings starting at 9:00 EST
Starting in half an hour. Please, if you can, keep us up to date on what's happening. I won't be near a TV.



"We're going to talk about the evolution of al-Qaida and how they moved from one type of organization in the late 1980s to a more fast-acting, poisonous organization in the 1990s, more spread out and dispersed," said Timothy Roemer, a Democratic commissioner and former representative from Indiana.

"We'll be looking at the timeline as to whether or not we had an opportunity to deflect any of the airliners, and how decisions were made by the highest people in government," he said.

Scheduled to testify Wednesday are field agents from the FBI and CIA, as well as Patrick Fitzgerald, a former attorney in New York who prosecuted alleged terrorists in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

Missing from Wednesday's schedule is German prosecutor Matthias Krauss, who canceled at the last minute. Krauss, who investigated the al-Qaida cell in Hamburg, Germany, had been expected to highlight problems with U.S. intelligence-sharing.

On Thursday, the 10-member panel will hear from Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as officials from the FAA and the North American Aerospace Defense Command. They will discuss whether a military response could have limited the Sept. 11 destruction by shooting down the airliners.

2. 9/11 Commission Hearings - Action Alert
Received by email from the 911 Visibility Project (www.septembereleventh.org)

Dear 9/11 Truth activists and concerned citizens,

The final 9/11 Commission hearings are scheduled for
this Wednesday and Thursday, and will be aired on
CSPAN. Ostensibly these hearings will focus on "the
9-11 Plot." However, given the Commission's failure to
ask any of the important questions at previous
hearings, no credible sources expect them to do so this
time. Therefore, this action alert does not ask you to
make another appeal to the commission. Rather it is
directed towards the media, at this crucial time, in
order to alert them to the fact that the 9/11
commission is a whitewash.

Please participate! The final hearings covering "the
9/11 Plot" combined with the upcoming release of
Michael Moore's new film, "Farenheit 911," provide an
incredible window of opportunity. The media and the
public have never been as skeptical of the official
story of 9/11 as they are right now!

We provide everything you need in this email, including
sample letters and media email addresses.

Towards 9/11 Truth,

Emanuel Sferios
Webmaster, 9/11 Visibility Project
http://www.septembereleventh.org

9/11 MEDIA ACTION - EXPOSE THE 9/11 COMMISSION
WHITEWASH!

SAMPLE LETTER
(Feel free to copy and paste, or use your own words.)

-----
Dear editor/reporter,

The final 9/11 commission hearings are upon us and the
important questions as put forth by the 9/11 families
have not been asked. Many of these questions pertain to
the evidence for Bush Administration complicity in the
attacks themselves, and the refusal of the 9/11
commission to address them is indicative of a coverup.

Ostensibly these hearings are supposed to focus on "the
9/11 plot" and the unprecedented failures of our air
defense system to respond to the hijacked aircraft. If
the commission took their mandate seriously, they would
inquire about the wargames that the US Military was
conducting on 9/11.

Wargames? What Wargames?

On the morning of Sept. 11 itself, the U.S. military
was conducting scheduled wargames and anti-terror
drills that included "airliner hijackings" as well an
"errant aircraft" crashing into a government building.
As referenced in the articles linked below, these
wargames have all been reported in the mainstream
media. Certainly they are relevant to the 9/11 plot. If
the commission is not a whitewash and truly wants to
get to the truth of 9/11, they will ask the hard
questions.

3. Listen on the Radio
Hi Stef!

I just posted another thread -- you can listen to the radio. Or online.

www.pacifica.org

where it lists the 5 Pacifica stations, all of which are streaming the hearings live, already.

4. Too bad they will not ask
the really important questions about what really went wrong on the morning of 9-11.

Why the President/Commander in Chief did not react when he knew America was under attack?

Why the Sec of Defense, did not react when he knew America was under attack?

Why the acting head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did not react when he knew America was under attack?

What exactly did the Vice President and the National Security Adviser do when they finally reacted after the 2nd WTC tower was hit?

Who was in the WH bunker and why?

Unfortunately, the 9-11 Whitewash Commission refuses to ask these questions. Without the answers to these questions, we will never know what really happened that morning. By not asking these questions, the 9-11 Whitewash Commission is nothing more than a tool for the WH, and they have betrayed the American people.

6. We know who was in the WH bunker
It was Lynne Cheney, telling Richard Clarke to keep quiet so she could hear CNN.

10. Idiot-boy is on MSNBC now campaigning in FLA
watch his mouth and his voice inflection. If the screen were split and Karen Hughes was on the other side, they would look and sound just alike.

11. I have noticed this before
She clearly acts it out for him to imitate - gives him line readings. You can see her facial expressions on his face.
