Is Iraq even mentioned in 9-11 report?
We've got 27 pages of censored material which apparently links the attack to Saudi Arabia. But does anybody know if there is even a paragraph that suggests Iraq was involved? If there was anything substantial, I bet they wouldn't censor that.

1. The 911 Report is hardly mentioned by media.
This is enough evidence that Iraq is not in the report. Nowhere is it a topic of any of the Sunday Shows. Since the Republicans cannot benefit from the report the media has lost interest. We are told 911 changed America for ever. But our media couldn't care less how it happened.

3. I found fewer than 5 references to Iraq in the report.
None of the references showed any reliable like between Iraq or it's agents and Al Quaida and the attack on Sep. 11. That is the news the media should be talking about, especially when many Americans still believe Iraq was behind the attacks.

4. Is the military failure mentioned in the report?
I'd like to know that as well. I tried to find something in the report and didn't, but it's pretty big. I haven't seen anything on the media about that either. I would have thought that was a pretty important question to have answered. Guess I'm just being delusional again.

5. I didn't notice- what do you mean by "military failure?"
Did the military fail to prevent 9/11 from happening? I suppose that the defense intelligence agency might have some culpability along with the CIA, FBI, NSC, but I can't think of another military failure in that regard.

7. I think she may be referring to the NORAD stand down
on the morning of 9-11?

Our entire national emergency protection system broke down that morning. None of the people in key command positions, Bu$h, Rumsfeld, Cheney and other, responded appropriately. Under the circumstances, mistakes will be made, but for the top command to sit on their hands until the Pentagon was attacked is an unbelievable failure. Most of the world knew by 9:05 that two airplanes had hit the WTC. W was too busy reading a childrens book & Rummie didn't do anything until after the Pentagon was hit. What's wrong with this picture?

6. How would we know?

Is the report, with the exceptions of those classified pages, open and accessible literature to the public?

8. stand down
No. There is nothing in the report about what happened that day. Nothing about fighters response, nothing about ATCs, nothing about AWOL ... nothing nothing nothing.

9. I don't get it. You would think the dems on the committee
would go after the military response issue, or lack thereof.

16. Thats because Shrub told them "Only Intelligence Failures"
Remember, he and Cheney told Daschle that the committee was only allowed to look at the intel failures, and apparently like the lapdogs that they are, they did just as they were told...

10. So how about a Nice long list
Of critical items that are NOT in the published report. So far:

1. Any links between attack and Iraq
2. Content of WH briefings on terror threat prior to 9-11.
3. Explanations of NORAD's failure on 9-11 and conflicting timeline
4. Explanation of failure of WH staff to react during crises
5. Why Secret Service did not react at Booker Elementary
6. Investigation of suspicious stock trades prior to 9-11
7. Questions raised about WH interference with FBI investigations.


More additions or corrections?
