GOVERNMENT INCOMPETENCE, LACK OF HONESTY WITH AMERICAN PEOPLE LEAD TO TERRORIST DISASTERS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
(Washington, DC, September 12, 2001) Larry Klayman, Chairman and General Counsel of Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today issued the following statement concerning the horrific terrorist attack on the United States, on a day – September 11, 2001 – that, even more than Pearl Harbor, will live in infamy.
“It is now apparent – given the near total lack of security at U.S. airports and elsewhere – that the U.S. government has not been forthright with the American people. During the last eight years of scandal during the Clinton administration, and the first eight months of the Bush Administration, reports this morning confirm that little to nothing was done to secure our nation’s airports and transportation systems as a whole – despite warnings.”
“Instead, cosmetic reform of education, social security, taxes, and other less important issues were given precedence. In addition, the American people were lead to believe that appropriate anti-terrorist counter measures were being taken. Instead of telling the truth so the problems could be addressed, politicians painted a rosy picture in order to be elected and re-elected.”
“Judicial Watch will use its investigative powers to look into the obvious breach of the people’s trust by a government which should not only have been candid, but also have taken steps to defend them.”
“Judicial Watch offers it condolences and sympathy to the dead and wounded, and their families, and prays that the nation will overcome this tragedy,” Klayman added.
Take a good look at what he's saying in his press release. It reads like every one of his other ones. Tantalizing headlines, followed by no facts or direction.

That could mean ANYTHING! He's soliciting funds IMO and has been for the past year or so. How can he be investigating EVERY news story? The CA energy problem, Condit, Cheney, Bush, the Clintons, and everyone else except you and I.
Whoops, watch me get a subpoena in the mail tomorrow. LOL
No time for politics now.
That's a bit much, in fact more than a bit. Perhaps you prefer Clinton's more on the sleeve ersatz emotive style. Myself, I prefer the Clint Eastwood style.
Or Judicial Slut.
He is always whoring after money and never accomplishes anything. Although I am not going to do the research necessary to document my suspicisions, I rather believe that all of the things he claims to have brought out into the public limelight were first exposed here on FR. I could be wrong, but it sure seems like it.
Yesterday's attack took months, perhaps even years to plan, and the weapon used against us was Freedom, they used our Freedom to attack us.
We can now either destroy them and protect our Freedom, or give up that Freedom and feel a false sense of safety. I say "false sense" becuase we will never be both safe and free, it's impossible.
I find it ironic that Klayman blames the President for wasting time on issues like taxes, education, and social security, when he has been complaining about the administration not spending enough time investigating Clinton's old campaign violations and suicide cases. Sometimes you just can't win for losing.
Every time you post you not only prove that you do NOT know Bush, but you can't even comprehend facts right in front of you.
The FAKE patriots, the ones who have to continually TELL US that they are patriots, are showing their true colors, IMO.
Are you saying that the terrorists illegally entered the U.S.? I hadn't heard that before.
Or are you saying that no visas should be granted to Muslims?
This is very interesting D1. I was reading something yesterday about how easy it is for airport workers to slip by security. They are NOT checked out hardly at all, just show their pass.
How many of those people you see out side the plane before you take off are paid anything substanital, and how easy do you think it would be to be bought off.
Plus, it would be very easy for terroists to get those jobs. Months before anything is planned to happen.
They could work for catering company or work cleaning the plane and could plant weapons on the planes.
Today the FAA or what ever their alaphabet title is made dozens of new rules that will NOT help at all.
Just for symbolism...what we need is sky marshalls...right away...they have guns with bullets that won't penetrate the fusealage.
I've been thinking for some time now that Larry has interest in a 3rd Party political position. Especially since Russ Verney went to JW.
