--- Begin Message --- -Caveat Lector- UQ and the a network of researchers & activists have begun a process to insure review and oversight of the government's National Commission on 9/11. This work is progressing currently under the loose banner of the 9/11 Truth Alliance, now growing strongly. We intend to liaise with the gov't Commission to present the key unanswered questions. Obviously, if rebuffed or if upon analysis of the legislation itself it is determined that key questions or lines of inquiry lie outside their charted scope or willingness to investigate then all the more need for a 'people's investigation' as currently being advanced.We know there is a case to be made that the National Commission as structured and funded is entirely inadequate to the task at hand and thus UQ continues to press for and support the intitiative to formerly establish an independent Citizens' or Peoples' Truth Commission to fully investigate and pursue all lines of inquiry relative to the events and circumstances of, and surrounding 9/11.
The recent AP article below obviously helps us build that case.

Special 9/11 panel facing obstacles

Associated Press January 21, 2003
http://www.newhavenregister.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=1281&dept_id=7574&newsid=6759168&PAG=461&rfi=9WASHINGTON � Sixteen months after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, an
independent commission charged with investigating what happened is only
beginning to confront a task complicated by a ticking clock, limited
finances and the high expectations of those who lost loved ones.The commission, which holds its first meeting next Monday in Washington,
will have just $3 million and 16 more months to explore the causes of,
preparations for and response to the terrorist hijackings that killed more
than 3,000 Americans at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in
Pennsylvania.By comparison, a federal commission created in 1996 was given two years and
$5 million to study legalized gambling.The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks came to life last year in a
compromise between Congress and the Bush White House, which had initially
opposed it. Relatives of Sept. 11 victims had lobbied strenuously for the
independent panel.The 10-member commission, chaired by former New Jersey Gov. Thomas H. Kean,
was given 18 months to get its work done, and the clock started ticking in
late November.Mary Fetchet of New Canaan, Conn., who lost her son Brad on Sept. 11, said
time is of particular concern because lawmakers spent months debating
whether even to have a commission."I would have hoped this would be up and moving forward by now," Fetchet
said. "I�m concerned about (an attack) happening again, yet so much time
has passed before we�ve taken a good complete look at what the failures
were."Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J., and some of the victims� relatives say they doubt
the commission can do a thorough job with only the $3 million authorized by
Congress. Corzine predicts a push on Capitol Hill to raise the amount.During a conference call last week, about a dozen relatives decided to dig
more into possible conflicts of interest that commission members might face
as they probe the inner workings of American government."We simply want to alleviate any worry, on anyone�s part, that this
commission will not go where the facts lead them," said Kristin Breitweiser
of New Jersey, whose husband Ronald died at the World Trade Center.There is no shortage of ideas on how the commission should expend its
limited time and resources.Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., has urged the commission to probe the nation�s
procedures for approving visas.Steve Morello Jr. of South Carolina, whose father Steven died at the World
Trade Center, said he hopes the commission investigates the role of Saudi
Arabia, a U.S. ally, in the attacks. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi
nationals.Sally Regenhard of New York, whose son Christian was among the firefighters
killed, said the commission should study the response on Sept. 11 by the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the metropolitan
New York airports and owned the World Trade Center towers."What happened or didn�t happen in those precious minutes before the second
plane hit? What information did the Port Authority have or know? These are
issues that remain in the darkness," Regenhard said.Bush signed the law creating the commission on Nov. 27 and named former
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as chairman. But Kissinger, who runs an
international consulting firm, resigned 17 days later in response to
questions about potential conflicts of interest.©New Haven Register 2003 <A HREF="">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
