As I got ready to catch a bus I had the TV news on and was watching the first WTC tower burn. Seemed like an accident at first. Then the second tower. I called the office and told them to turn on television. I stayed and watched. Finally caught a bus in the afternoon. It was erie, no airplanes overhead. Not long after I wrote my 1st ten minute produced play, PROFESSIONAL COURTESY, which was my primary artistic response to the event. I later worked on a longer version which was had a well attended staged reading on 09/11/05. I continue to work on it. Things have been pretty much downhill since. My own health, economics, the arts. I continue to wonder about all the unanswered questions. I guess I am far from alone. Today I cam across this: Senator Max Cleland, who resigned from the 9/11 Commission after calling it a =93national scandal=94, stated in a 2003 PBS interview, =93I=92m saying that=92s deliberate. I am saying that the delay in relating this information to the American public out of a hearing=85 series of hearings, that several members of Congress knew eight or ten months ago, including Bob Graham and others, that was deliberately slow walked=85 the 9/11 Commission was deliberately slow walked, because the Administration=92s policy was, and its priority was, we=92re gonna take Saddam Hussein out.=94 Cleland, speaking with Democracy Now, said, =93One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up=94. In 2006 the Washington Post reported that several members of the 9/11 Commission suspected deception on part of the Pentagon. As reported, =93Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon=92s initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.=94 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerry also has unanswered questions. As reported by Salon, he believes that there are legitimate reasons to believe an alternative version to the official story. =93There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version,=94 Kerrey said. The commission had limited time and limited resources to pursue its investigation, and its access to key documents and witnesses was fettered by the administration. Commissioner Tim Roemer, speaking to CNN, stated that Commission members were considering a criminal probe of false statements. As quoted, =93We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting,=94 Roemer told CNN. =93We were not sure of the intent, whether it was to deceive the commission or merely part of the fumbling bureaucracy.=94 _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
