Bias? What Bias? Liberal Media? What Liberal Media? I must admit though...there are some great questions between the lines...although this is a major hit piece on President Bush.

Oh Christ. I think I saw Bil Laden on the grassy knoll with an assault weapon and Jimmy Hoffa.

All those questions are really just one question:

Why did this terrible thing happen to us?

There is no satisfactory answer.

That is one scary as hell picture....and Gore looks like a true member of the Taliban there...eeeeek!

"Where is Dick Cheney's undisclosed location"?????

This is a criticism by a moron? Boy, when the left wing is out of power, as Rush says, they really get dangerous and stupid.

#6 seems to be the most valid question here- whether or not it's NoRad's jurisidiction could come into play. ...but Paine Stewarts (private)plane was intercepted and tailed within 20 minutes of going off course.....the most suspect is the Pentagon plane tracking. One can make the argument that our government had no intention of protecting us.That question won't be answered until the next attack using planes. If those aren't intercepted, then we'll have our answer.

These question's sound a lot like the questions from the 4 New jersey wives that prompted the 9/11 independednt panel in the first place. Did the 9/11 report not answer these?

The answers to these questions are available. Individuals in high places just don't want us to know them.

No one knows where the alleged mastermind of the attack is, and none of his accomplices has been convicted of any crime.

Osama Bin Laden was not the mastermind of the attack, he financed Al Qaeda. As to prosecution of the men behind the act, the hijackers are all dead. The people who planned the original WTC (1993) bombing got life in prison. I'd rather they not be taken alive and put on trial where our intelligence secrets may be revealed (and the American taxpayers will be made to pay for their imprisonment).

Zacarias Moussaoui is in custody and awaiting trial. He was a part of the conspiracy to hijack and crash the planes on September 11th, 2001. The wheels of justice turn slowly.

I don't recall the name of the man suspected of originating the plan but he has been identified and is being sought (I think that there was a lead on him).

Most of the Iraq 55 most wanted (the deck of wanted men) have been captured or killed. Even most of the FReeper additions have been accounted for. I think that this site may even be out of date (there may be even more of these people captured/dead).

The utility of the "most wanted" cards was that it made it easy to identify how many people have been accounted for that we wanted and let them get ranked in prominence.

Did either Ashcroft or the Pentagon have advance information about a 9/11-style attack and, if so, why wasn't this shared with the American public?

There was a threat against the 2002 Super Bowl by the Tampa teen who flew a stolen plane into a bank. That suicide note was withheld for 2 months (it was released after the Super Bowl).

Yes some threats are withheld from the public. Some are not credible. Some are under investigation. Look at how the left ridicules the color ranking of national security threats. The armchair quarterbacks are going to bitch always. This plan was in motion for several years and yet it is "Bush's problem" because the strikes occurred on his watch (even though the travel visa violations predate his innaguration).

[weegee]

3. Who made a small fortune "shorting" airline and insurance stocks before Sept. 11?

Who made money when Al-Jazeera aired old Osama footage and audio recordings (since identified as such) on September 10th, 2003? The stock market took a hit because of that news.

[weegee]

During the depths of the Cold War, Americans went to bed with the somewhat reassuring belief that jet fighters would intercept anyone launching a first strike against the United States. That myth was shattered on 9/11, when four hijacked-jetliners-turned-into-deadly-missiles cruised the American skies with impunity for nearly two hours.

Was the belief that we would be attacked by planes originating in the continental US? These were not international flights. There are protected airspaces such as over some military bases and the White House. I seem to recall that a pilot managed to crash a small plane into the White House when Bubba Clinton was president. Why didn't he boost the protection of the DC airspace?

Why didn't the fighters that were finally scrambled at Otis Air Force Base in Massachusetts and Langley Air Force Base in Virginia fly at top, supersonic speeds?

Where are they going to go? The targets weren't known to be "targets". There wasn't even an expectation of the planes crashing.

Until the morning's air traffic was grounded, there were also hundreds of planes in the air. Fly full throttle into NYC? That's going to pose a risk to everyone in the air. You going to shoot a plane down over NYC? Where will the parts fall?

[weegee]

Meanwhile, the FBI reportedly has enough hard information about what really happened on Flight 93 to have worked up a flight-simulation video. But that video, the cockpit audio recording and the hard data from the other "black box," the flight data recorder, is still top secret.

The issue symbolizes the government's continuing refusal to release information about what really happened on Sept. 11. Even some relatives of Flight 93 victims are growing unhappy that more information has not been publicized.

BS. Pure Bravo Sierra. Barbra(sic) Streisand. The families of the Flight 93 victims heard the flight recorder audiotapes. It was publicized when they went to listen to the recordings.

[weegee]

And how come none of the four "indestructible" black boxes was recovered from the World Trade Center, even as investigators said that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers had been found in the rubble, undamaged, a week after the towers's collapse?

The passport doesn't sound so "incredible". A pair of bound hands (one of the stewardesses?) was found on a neighboring building's roof. Not everything incinerated. Heck, they've even found enough of body parts of the hijackers to make DNA positive identification (using things like cigarettes left in the car at the airport).

[weegee]

Who killed five Americans with anthrax?

How many years did it take to catch the Unabomber?

[weegee]

Q:"Where is Dick Cheney's undisclosed location"?

A: It's a secret, you moron. Wouldn't serve much point in hiding him to ensure the continuation of our government in a time of crisis if we told everyone where we were hiding him.

It's not like this clymer is going to get to visit the bunker. Why doesn't he get a job for Al-Jazeera and ask "where is Saddam Hussein's undisclosed location?"

[WhiteGuy]

Not a hit piece.

Some good questions......................

We captured the "alleged mastermind", Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, months ago. He's in an "undisclosed location" now too. I bet that will really bother Bunch, when he finds out. Being so concerned about the lack of trials and convictions, and all.

When I saw the first question, I knew it would all go downhill from there, and I was right.
