Letter to the Editor — regarding Unanswered Questions posed by Families
To the Editor:
The Family Steering Committee for the Independent 9/11 Commission consists of 12 family members who lost loved ones on September 11th, 2001. Eleven of the members are women. Among them are the four “Jersey Moms” without whose heroic lobbying the 9/11 Commission would not even exist. The goal of the FSC has been to ensure that the 9/11 Commission objectively determines the complete truth about 9/11 and thus help save lives in the future. These young mothers have stood up to government harassment, FBI lies, bureacratic roadblocks, hate mail, and attacks from idiots in the media.

Details of a Florida drug case may well shed light on the claims of an FBI translator who says the agency covered up evidence warning of the 9-11 attack.
Sibel Edmonds, the translator, said in an interview Monday with the Voice that the Florida case illustrates the issues and evidence she has been trying to make public for two years. Edmonds claimed to have translated testimony in criminal and counter-intelligence cases involving different FBI field offices, going back into the late 1990s. Much of this involved tracking money, she said.

Michael Moore’s Candid Camera
FRANK RICH – May 23, 2004
But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it’s gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it’s, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch him suffer.”

by William Norman Grigg — The New American
Vol. 18, No. 12 — June 17, 2002
What was once unthinkable is now considered obvious: The federal government had advance warning of the September 11th suicide hijack plot and failed to prevent it.
Was it culpable negligence — or something much worse — behind the federal government’s failure to prevent the Black Tuesday atrocity?
