911

Tomflocco: 9-11 Commission Testimony Too Hot To Be Under Oath
Tom Flocco writes: "Curiously however, none of the testimony offered
before the Commission was sworn under oath (either on Thursday or Friday); and
the most critical statements concerning the 9/11 military response failures
occurred on the morning prior to a long Memorial Day weekend when the
public would not be paying attention... Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ)
[told us]: 'The evidence is compelling; but the Administration is not very
inclined to go after the answers. It [not swearing in witnesses]
doesn'tsurprise me'... Vice-Chairman Lee Hamilton entered the fray, asking
[NORAD Commander] Arnold when Bush gave the order to shoot down airliners
assumed to be hijacked, and why that exact time of the shoot-down order was not
entered into the official NORAD 9/11 timeline... Arnold answered
Hamilton... : 'I am sure that information is available,' Congressman
Hamilton, adding 'I appreciate your question.' Everyone in the hearing
room seemed stunned at his answer."
