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.

Just how do you propose to stop plastic knives? Who in their right mind would have put armed guards on every flight during this psuedo-recession further jacking up airline prices? Now it is all so easy isn't it...I am tired of all this Monday morning quarter-backing...Now of course with the fury of the people behind you it is easy to second guess everything, charge more for airline tickets etc etc.

i sure as hell didn't see any warning from Judicial Watch. if you don't have something positive to contribute, shut the f#@$ up!

Shut the up, Klayman. We're sick of your postering and spotlight chasing. You're getting as bad as Jesse Jackson.

[Adrastus]

Now there's a novel idea for a time of crisis....start discrediting the first real president we've had in 8 years. The major reason conservatives seem to be unable to accomplish much of anything is that they just can't quite stay focused on the problem and start wasting their energy by attacking their leaders. Well done, morons. You are on the way to shooting yourself in the foot again.

I used to be a member of Judical Watch. I quit a year and half ago. I still get constant fundraising letters from them. The next letter will be returned with some vulgarity in it.

Shut the up, Klayman. We're sick of your postering and spotlight chasing. You're getting as bad as Jesse Jackson.

I agree totally with your post. Kind of interesting... as I read Larry's spew, I thought, "Uhh, if I close my eyes I can hear Jesse Jackson."

At one time I had respect for cryin' Larry and his crew. Not anymore.

[wildbill]

Somebody tell this officious ididot that this isn't the time for his grandstanding.

[Moonmad27]

After the ridiculous "I'm gonna investigate" boasts from JW every time there's any incident, not to mention his awful radio ads threatening riots during the expected California blackouts, I thought that surely this MUST be a joke. I thought Klayman wouldn't sink so low as to take advantage of this tragedy for his own personal gain. But there it is on the JW website. It's disgusting. Hard to believe there was a time I had actual respect for Larry Klayman!

Shut the up, Klayman. We're sick of your postering and spotlight chasing. You're getting as bad as Jesse Jackson.

Yep, Klayman has become a misery pimp.

[deport]

Can you believe this... We haven't even gotten the dead accounted for and he's posturing....

[sinkspur]

I appreciate this post.

After this abortion of a press release, Judicial Watch should join the Liberty Lobby and the SPOTLIGHT.

It's posts should automatically be pulled.

A bump your way

I'm sorry to say that the loss of creditibility is rather complete in the case of Larry Klayman!

He is a complete scam man to be after the money thru donations to keep this up! He has no other source of income!

[arkfreepdom]

Yeah right JW. If Bush had tried to do what you mention, you would have sued him for using secrecy to come up with the plan. Pound sand loser.

[breakem]

How despicable, worse than Jennings from ABC.

[Moose4]

Wow. Has Klayman gone off the deep end or what?

[A Citizen Reporter]

Good God! This is beyond comment.......utterly dispicable....
