McKinney Reopens 9/11
McKinney reopens 9/11

Conspiracy theories implicating president aired at 8-hour hearing

Revisiting the issue that helped spur her ouster from Congress three years ago, Rep. Cynthia Mc­Kinney led a Capitol Hill hearing Friday on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The eight-hour hearing, timed to mark the first anniversary of the release of the Sept. 11 commission's report on the attacks, drew dozens of contrarians and conspiracy theorists who suggest President Bush purposely ignored warnings or may even have had a hand in the attack — claims participants said the commission ignored.

"The commission's report was not a rush to judgment, it was a rush to exoneration," said John Judge, a member of Mc­Kinney's staff and a representative of a Web site dedicated to raising questions about the Sept. 11 commission's report.

The White House and the commission have dismissed such questions as unfounded conspiracy theories.

7. Bush Had Fighter Cover in Crawford in August of 2001
while he was ignoring the 8-6-01 PDB that warned the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."

According to Rep. McKinney Bush had 24-hour fighter cover.

9. "Western White House"
08/03/2001

"White House to move to Texas for a while"

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/august01/2001-08-03-bush-vacation.htm
When Bush retreats to his ranch, aides say, the White House just changes location. "He'll be returning to Texas and operating out of Crawford," says Karen Hughes, counselor to the president, referring more to the small town where reporters will gather than the exact site of Bush's command center. He'll be 7 miles down narrow, winding Prairie Chapel Road.

Let's see... designating his private property to be the seat of the executive branch of the US government is in violation of the United States Constitution, which violates his oath of office. In August 2001, this seemed like an insignificant detail. But, knowing what we know now, we can see the importance of keeping the seat of government all in one place, on public property, where there are checks and balances. But, Bush spent the last month before 9-11, conducting business secretly in his "command center," as Karen Hughes called it. The USA Today article stated Bush spent 42% of his time, since being elected, there in Texas.

"A government of the people, by the people, for the people" must be publicly accessible. So, why was the "Western White House" on private property and inaccessible to the public? What do you suppose he was doing in Texas, leading up to 911, that needed to be kept secret and inaccesible to the checks and balances of governement? Could it be he was putting the final touches on a special plan?

8. I'm glad there is someone in office
who is trying to get the truth out to the public I just wish that all of our representatives were brave enough and willing to shed light on the truth.
