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.
On the money! I've been hammering these America/Bush bashers all around the net for the last 24 hours.
I knew it. You isolationist wannabes are sooooo transparent. I'll tell you what I've been telling your other utopian-dreaming brethern - THIS IS NOT 1787! We cannot disengage from the world.
You can't be serious. Although you seem to think you have the inside track, I guess you missed the substantiated reports that the Pentagon plane was actually headed to the WH. I guessed you've also missed the generally accepted idea that America doesn't want its president blown up. And you also must have missed the fact President Bush ordered the plane back to DC over the objections of the SS and the Vice-president. You are now officially on ignore.
See there, you make my point again. You are clueless. Do you actually think he has to be in the Oval office to run this country.
You're a totally discredited poster. Not worth the bandwidth.
I'm still waiting for you to post Bush's EXACT immigration plan that he has IMPLEMENTED since he took office.
Actions count, and character counts.
Let's see what is, or isn't, done before passing judgement.
Word of caution, we may not have the ordnance to enter into a war.
How dare anyone question the decisions made by the Secret Service to protect the life of our President! We are at WAR.....all Americans should be standing shoulder to shoulder against our common enemies ....the demonic terrorists!
May God Bless and Protect our President.
God Bless America!
You've just confirmed ALL of our suspicions about you. Nobody agrees with Larry Klayman except people who work for him.
1. We should re-institute having armed marshalls on ALL domestic flighs. Why not? Does it hurt your poor feelings?
2. Is the price of airline tickets all you are worried about? How selfish...but how typical. I'm sure all the families of the innocent victims will be glad to know that you have a cheap ticket... STRAIGHT TO HELL...YOU BASTARD!
