As the departing Bush administration frantically attempts to shore up its place in history, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann stands ready to kick the props out from under it again. A renewed claim that “no one could have anticipated” the attacks of 9/11 attracted his scorn in particular on Thursday’s Countdown. -David Edwards and Muriel Kane

On Thursday, 9/11/08, WeAreChange.org and the ncy911 Ballot Initiative group joined forces at Ground Zero. Read all about them at the above links. I joined them about 11:30 a.m. for the march and speeches that would begin around noon. The young WeAreChange leader Luke Rudkowski (a force unto himself) and the indefatigable Ballot Initiative leader Les Jamieson were there to kick off events.

MSNBC host Keith Olbermann perhaps went further than ever before last night in his special comment about the 9/11 anniversary, slamming the Bush administration for their “criminal neglect” in allowing the attacks to occur and identifying the continued exploitation of 9/11 “sociological pornography” as the only reason that Bush hasn’t been impeached.

Mineta's Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) testimony was also edited out of the 9/11 Commission video archive.

A video presentation by Spencer Morgan of www.Utah911truth.com This is a comprehensive introduction to the body of information and evidence refuting the official narrative of the events of September 11, 2001. This presentation covers the building collapses and various "official explanations" and revisions, the air defenses, the history and nature of Al Qaeda and the individuals who had manifest and stated motive to carry out the attacks. If you are completely new to 9/11 "alternative theories" or just curious about why so many people question the official account, this is a good place to start.
