The Five Unanswered Questions About 9/11
What the 9/11 Commission Report Failed to Tell Us
by James Ridgeway
In essence, the 9/11 Commission was a set-up job to protect those responsible for not making a serious effort to stop 9/11 from happening; it was not a Commission that was empowered to go wherever the truth took it. In fact, it set up as one of its primary goals not to “point fingers at” anyone for the failures that led to 9/11 or hold anyone responsible. The Commission was very clear about this: “Our aim has not been to assign individual blame.”
So, the Bush Administration has used the 9/11 Commission as a convenient tool to absolve the White House of any malfeasance in letting 9/11 happen. But, as BuzzFlash has noted ad nauseam, Bush and Rice were notified in August of 2001 of imminent likely Al Qaeda hijackings in the United States. And they did nothing — we repeat, once again — nothing to prevent such hijackings from occurring. If they had acted (instead of Bush going off on a month-long vacation), then 9/11 might have indeed been prevented from occurring.
