Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
Terrorist Warnings
May 16, 2002
Several weeks ago, I called for a congressional investigation into what warnings the
Bush Administration received before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. I
was derided by the White House, right wing talk radio, and spokespersons for the
military-industrial complex as a conspiracy theorist. Even my patriotism was
questioned because I dared to suggest that Congress should conduct a full and
complete investigation into the most disastrous intelligence failure in American
history. Georgia Senator Zell Miller even went so far as to characterize my call for
hearings as "dangerous, loony and irresponsible."
Today's revelations that the administration, and President Bush, were given months
of notice that a terrorist attack was a distinct possibility points out the critical
need for
a full and complete congressional investigation.
It now becomes clear why the Bush Administration has been vigorously opposing
congressional hearings. The Bush Administration has been engaged in a conspiracy
of silence. If committed and patriotic people had not been pushing for disclosure
today's revelations would have been hidden by the White House.
Because I love my country, because I am a patriot, and because the American
people deserve the truth, I believe it would be dangerous, loony and irresponsible not
to hold full congressional hearings on any warnings the Bush Administration had
before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to
silence my voice. I've been told to "sit down and shut up" over and over again. Well, I
won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed
before
the American people.
