More:

Yes, Clinton and Gore did abandon airport security planning for sake of campaign cash. But worse, they concealed the real cause of the crash, in no small part to justify that abandonment.

In fact, on the same day in September of 1996 that Al Gore sent the airline's lobbyist a letter signaling his intent to roll over, the National Transportation Safety Board reversed its spin and all but ruled out a bomb or missile strike [on TWA 800].

The third culprit:

How Richard Clarke concocted the TWA 800 'exit strategy' ... and why

It's maddening to think that the proposed budget of "$429.4 million" for all of these recommendations could have possibly prevented the 9-11 attacks and the subsequent costs in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other hotspots, not forgetting the economic costs of post 9-11.

This country has lost thousands of lives, and billions of dollars for the paltry sum of ~$500K to be given to the DNC all for the sake of political partisanship.

Bastards oughta be tried as traitors and then have a public hanging.

Good work! I've been wondering for DAYS now why no one was bringing that up in the hearings...seems very pertinent to me.

So, according to your post, Gorelick has already been interviewed by the 911
committee as part of the inquiry investigating 911....
all the more conflict of interest, and reason for her to resign (OR be thrown off of) the commission!

Wow! Pieces fall into place! Hmm--besides those already named, who else in the Clinton administration would've been involved in the TWA 800 cover-up, and have any of them showed up at the 9-11 Commission either as commissioners or as witnesses?

You've heard of "judge, jury, and executioner"--well, Gorelick does one better: she's judge, jury, and defendant! :)

Well, the money should have been spent, security should have been tightened. At the same time, the hijackers were talented. IMO, our only chance to stop them would have been at the border, or disrupting a cell, a partial fix. I doubt tightened security wouldn't have kept them off the planes, there's lots of potential weapons, and in any case in Sept, 2001 the cabin wouldn't have resisted.

I wrote the President and thanked him for his leadership.

I also recommended that his next "speech to the nation" be attended by 1) citizens instead of the MSM, 2) radio talk show hosts or 3) smaller hometown newspapers.

I'm sick of reports like Gregory, and the rest of the MSM. Let's hear from middle America for a change!

9-11: Gore Authorized by Clinton to tighten security; Dashcle's wife works as a lobbyist for FAA; Gore writes up stricter security code; Daschle's wife gets big campaign donation for Clinton/Gore Re-Electioon Campaign; Tough new code for airline security scrubbed.

Case closed.

I also am tired of hearing about these "9-11 families".

There were over 3 thousand people who lost their lives on that day at the WTC, Pentagon, and air liner crash.

That means that there are over 3 thousand families who lost members on that day.

Yet the media focuses on these four.

Why? Because these families continually blame President Bush for the attack.

They and everyone defending them say that they want answers as to why it it happened and how future attacks can be prevented. In their case this is a lie. They only wish to do political harm and cause the defeat of President Bush.


Anyone outside the grave except a democrat knows why the attacks happened. They happened because there was no retaliation from the earlier attacks.

This stupid commission is a huge joke. These people are putting the rest of us in grave danger. Anyone that thinks the terrorists aren't listening to the alphabet soup agencies and taking notes on their mo is pathetically ignorant. Maybe if the CIA and FBI analyse what has come out in the hearings about thier NEW tactics, they will be able to pinpoint the next attack.
