8 Aug 2003While I'm not convinced by the fuel heat argument or the bomb argument, questions clearly remain about the actual cause of the towers collapsing on 9/11. A new investigation should look for the answers.

20 Aug 2003Imagine that! F-16s at Andrews AFB going up just in case there was a terrorist attack coming. But when we all knew there was one coming, where were they? At one point they were even denying they had them at Andrews.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A60453-2003Aug14?language=printer- Subject: US Admits cameraman was shot dead at close range
22 Aug 2003This is an incredible but sadly repetitive story. The military is completely hostile to journalists. There should be a full investigation, courts martial for wrongful deaths, and a clearly stated policy about "rules of press engagement" if it is going to be life threatening.
Alexander Haig said after Vietnam that no war should ever be televised close up like that one was since it ruined "morale" for troops (why, because they weren't present?) and for people at home. Morale means blind support of policy and war.
In the first Gulf War the troops were hand picked and still kept at bay from the front line action, often at gunpoint on land and sea. Press were basically excluded from the invasions of Panama and Grenada.
Now the tactic is to go into these "non-wars" that combine cutting a deal in advance with the opposition (in this case Saddam, who clearly cooperated with US sanitizing of his weapons report by releasing a single copy instead of multiple ones), and with a blitzkreig of power that puts the Nazis to shame, and therefore allows the careful "imbedding" of journalists into the ranks that will not see genocidal combat but minimal opposition.
Of course the corporate press is already in bed with the Pentagon and the Military Industrial Complex, which owns a large chunk of the media and defends the global investments of or contracts out other work to the other media conglomerate controlling groups. Still married, but the individual reporters are just "in the wrong place at the wrong time". Friendly fire, eh?
