As many as 73 families see the process of U.S. government compensation as an attempt to protect those who should be held accountable for what they believe was mass murder.

Sept. 11 Panel Votes to Subpoena FAA
The independent commission studying the Sept. 11 attacks has voted to subpoena the Federal Aviation Administration, ordering the agency to hand over documents for the investigation.

Panel Eyes Homeland Spy Service
A former CIA director and a former deputy national security adviser advocated major changes to the U.S. intelligence establishment in testimony before the independent commission studying the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
John M. Deutch, CIA director from 1995-1996, and James B. Steinberg, deputy national security adviser in the Clinton administration, endorsed two structural reforms: appointing a director of national intellegence separate from the CIA, and creating a domestic security service modeled after Britian's MI5.

Why the Truth Isn't Out There
The willingness of journalists to accept the establishment's view of the events of, and after, 9/11 is truly staggering.

A US federal judge barred the government from seeking the death penalty for the terrorism suspect, Zacarias Moussaoui, inflicting a major defeat on the administration for refusing to let the defendant question three al-Qaeda prisoners.

Who Let Saudis Flee After 9/11?
In the days immediately following Sept. 11, 2001, while the airways were still closed to all other flights, Americans couldn't fly into the country but relatives of bin Laden were able to fly out.

Iraq, 9/11 Still Linked by Cheney
The connection between Iraq and the September 11 attacks has been so thoroughly debunked that George W. Bush was recently forced to publicly acknowledge the lack of any such association. Mr Cheney, however, persists.

September 11 Attack 'Plotted in 1996' Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, has told interrogators in the United States how he first went to Osama bin Laden in 1996 with a plan to hijack five commercial jets on each US coast.

Was There an Iraq-Al Qaeda Connection? Robert Sheer of the Los Angeles Times writes that almost all these "allegations," such as the connection between bin Laden lietenant Abu Musab Zarqawi and Iraq, are typical in of the way the Bush administration has dealt with Iraq and Al Qaeda from the beginning; "Say what you want people to believe for the front page and on TV, then whisper a halfhearted correction or apology that slips under the radar."

Bush: NO Connection Between Iraq, Sept. 11 "There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaida ties," the president said. But he also said, "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th."

Cheney Still Touts Fictional Iraq-Sept. 11 Connection Vice President Dick Cheney, anxious to defedn the White House foreign policy amid ongoing violence in Iraq, stunned intelligence analysts and even members of his own administration by failing to dismiss a widely discredited claim: that Saddam Hussein might have played a role in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Concern Growing as Familites Bypass 9/11 Victim's Fund Federal and local officials are growing increasingly concerned that nearly 60 percent of families who lost relatives in the September 2001 terror attacks have not filed claims with the victim compensation fund established by Congress.
The most recent statistics show that 3,016 people died in the attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and aboard an airliner that crashed in Pennsylvania. With the Dec. 22 deadline for applications less than four months away. only 1,240 death claims had been filed with the fund. And while no one knows exactly how many people were injured in the attacks, so far only 1,035 of them have sought compensation from the fund, which has no cap.
Some families say they are deciding whether to file a lawsuit instead. Others, especially high-income families who lost a breadwinner in the collapse may be awaiting developments in a federal lawsuit in Manhattan. And still others say they have not recovered sufficiently from their grief to face the paperwork involved in filing a claim - and the painful memories it would bring to the surface.

Four 9/11 Moms Battle Bush So afraid is the Bush administration of what could be revealed by inquiries into its failures to protect Americans from terrorist attack, it is unabashedly using Kremlin tactics to muzzle members of Congress and thwart the current federal commission investigating the failures of Sept. 11. But there is at least one force that the adminstration cannot scare off or shut up. They call themselves "Just Four Moms from New Jersey," or simply "the girls."

9/11 Commission: White House Cover-Up Exists The White House refused to provide contents of the president's daily brief. This would clear up questions about how much specific information President Bush received about an impending attack during the spring and summer of 2001 - a period in which the intelligence community was reporting with alarm that a "spectacular" attack against the United States involving "mass casualties" was in the works.

Bush's 9-11 Secrets The government received warnings of Bin Laden's plans to attack New York and D.C. The report lists 36 different summaries of warnings dating back to 1997.

Report on 9/11 Suggests a Role by Saudi Spies The classified part of a Congressional report on terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, says that two Saudi citizens who had at least indirect links with two hijackers were probably Saudi intelligence agents and may habe reported to Saudi government officials, according to people who have seen the report.

9-11 Report Questions Rice's Statements At a May 2002 press briefing, Rice said that "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile." But the congressional report states that "from at least 1994, and continuing into the summer of 2001, the Intelligence Community received information indicating that terrorists were contemplating among other means of attack, the use of aircraft as weapons."

Classified Section of Sept. 11 Report Faults Saudi Rulers A 28-page section, which was deleted from a Congressional report on the hijackings, focuses on the role foreign governments played in the hijackings, but centers on Saudi Arabia. Senior officials of Saudi Arabia may have funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to charitable groups and other organizations that may have helped finance the September 2001 attacks.

The 9/11 Investigation [so far] The attacks of September 11 might have been prevented had the US intelligence community been more competent. And the Bush administration is refusing to tell the public what intelligence the President saw before 9/11 about the threat posed by al Qaeda.

White House, CIA Kept Key Portions of Report Classified President Bush was warned in a more specific way than previously known about intelligence suggesting that al Qaeda terrorists were seeking to attack the United States, a report on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks indicated.

9/11 Report: No Iraq Link to al-Qaida The report of the joint congressional inquiry into the suicide hijackings on Sept. 11, 2001, reveals U.S. intelligence had no evidence that the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein was involved in the attacks, or that it had supported al-Qaida.

FBI Denies Failing to Spot September 11 Plot The FBI missed a chance to uncover the September 11 plot by failing to discover that two men living with an FBI informant were preparing to join the suicide hijackers, a congressional inquiry is expected to report.

Why Does 9/11 Inquiry Scare Bush? Even the tame commission of Washington insiders, led by men of the president's own party, is now complaining that its work is being hampered by foot-dragging from the Pentagon and Justice Department in producing documents and witnesses, in an effort to run the clock out on it before it can complete its work.

9/11 WTC & Pentagon Disaster: Hidden Truths

An Interesting Day: President Bush's Movements and Actions on 9/11 Bush's actions on September 11th have been the subject of lively debate, mostly on the internet. Details reported that day and in the week after the attacks - both the media reports and accounts given by Bush himself - have changed radically over the past 18 months. Culling hundreds of reports from newspapers, magazines, and the internet has only made finding the "truth" of what happened and when it happened more confusing. In the changed political climate after 9/11, few have dared raise challenging questions about Bush's actions. A journalist who said Bush was "flying around the country like a scared child, seeking refuge in his mother's bed after having a nightmare" and another who said Bush "skedaddled" were fired. [Washington Post, 9/29/01 (B)] We should have a concise record of where President Bush was throughout the day the US was attacked, but we do not.

Why the Bojinka Blackout? "Operation Bojinka" was first discovered in the Philippines in 1995, in connection with arrests related to the 1993 WTC bombing case. The operation planned to plant bombs in US airliners and to hijack others to crash them into buildings like the CIA headquarters.
