Senators Want CIA to Release 9/11 Report

A bipartisan group of senators is pushing legislation that would force the CIA to release an inspector general's report on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The CIA has spent more than 20 months weighing requests under the Freedom of Information Act for its internal investigation of the attacks but has yet to release any portion of it.

The agency is the only federal office involved in counterterrorism operations that has not made at least a version of its internal 9/11 investigation public.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and two other intelligence committee leaders - chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., and senior Republican Kit Bond of Missouri - are pushing legislation that would require the agency to declassify the executive summary of the review within one month and submit a report to Congress explaining why any material was withheld.

The provision has been approved by the Senate twice, but never made into law.

In an interview, Wyden said he is also considering whether to link the report's release to his acceptance of President Bush's nominations for national security positions.

``It's amazing the efforts the administration is going to stonewall this,'' Wyden said. ``The American people have a right to know what the Central Intelligence Agency was doing in those critical months before 9/11.... I am going to bulldog this until the public gets it.''

September 11 - 5 Years Later....

Today marks the five year anniversay of September 11th. President Bush began two days of marking the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by paying tribute Sunday to the victims of the tragedy.

He layed wreaths of red, white and blue flowers at New York City's Ground Zero, attended a prayer service at the nearby St. Paul's Chapel and visited a firehouse and its adjacent memorial museum near the site where the Twin Towers once stood.

"Laura and I approach tomorrow with a heavy heart," Bush said later. "It's hard not to think about people who lost their lives on Sept. 11th, 2001. I vowed that I'm never going to forget the lessons of that day."

Interestingly the rescue workers and local residents are still suffering health problems five years on from the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Centre.The air in lower Manhattan was polluted with toxic dust after the devastating strikes on the Twin Towers. A new study by the Mount Sinai Medical Centre found nearly 70% of those who responded after the attack later suffered breathing problem.

Pressure group Beyond Ground Zero said the government should take responsibility and help some 40,000 affected people.

"The government must take responsibility now because people are sick," said organiser Leah Geronimo.

New Bin Laden '9/11 video' tape surfaced today

Just 4 days until September 11th, a new tape has appeared from Al-Jazeera. The footage is suppose to show Bin Laden (Which is does) meeting with Ramzi Binalshibh and Mohammed Atef. When watching the footage, it shows the 'terrorist' training in marital art, now call me silly, but why was they doing high kicks? What was the point of showing this in the film.
Of course such a tape appearing can only be good news from President Bush, as fear will be instilled in the american people, terrorist are still around and the US is still the target. What would the result be, by taking away more freedom from the American people, as we live in a 'climate of fear'
