The US defence department is to release a video of the plane crashing into the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, legal rights group Judicial Watch has said.
The US was to release the previously unseen footage at 1300 (1700 GMT). Comment: No surprises here. The Pentagon is releasing the same "video" that they released in 2002 to counter Thierry Meyssan's book, only then it was several frames. Now they have kindly added a small section before and after the explosion.
Do they really think this is going to fly? Well, it probably will for the wing nuts. They'll tell us that the visual proof has been established! But anyone with two neurons left firing can tell that this video doesn't provide any more "proof" than the still frames provided...and that was no proof at all!

Associated Press May 16, 2006 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The Pentagon gave The Associated Press on Monday the first list of everyone who has been held at Guantanamo Bay, more than four years after it opened the detention center in Cuba. But none of the most notorious terrorist suspects were included, raising questions about where America's most dangerous prisoners are being held.
The handover marks the first time that everyone who has been held at Guantanamo Bay in the Bush administration's war on terror has been identified, according to Navy Lt. Cmdr. Chito Peppler. A total 201 of the names have never been disclosed by the Defense Department before. Comment: Gosh, where could these "notorious terrorist suspects" be? Secret prisons, perhaps? Or maybe the Bush administration really doesn't know where the big fish are since they never existed in the first place... Think about it: The Bush administration throws out some Arab name and claims that he is a bigwig in al-Qaeda, and that they have captured him. How do you know they are telling the truth? The image they show on the boob tube could be anyone, and we'd never know any better. They lied about WMD's in Iraq, so why wouldn't they also be perfectly willing to invent terrorists to boost their ratings??
Having said that, the secret prisons do seem to exist, and the torture at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere was very real. They were just torturing average joes instead of Osama's alleged 3 million lieutenants. |

Tuesday May 16, 2006 The Guardian George Bush, scrambling to hold on to an increasingly disaffected conservative Republican base, said last night that he was deploying thousands of troops on America's border with Mexico to crack down on illegal immigration.
With opinion polls charting a steep decline in support from the conservatives who have been the president's bedrock, Mr Bush promised to deploy as many as 6,000 national guard troops along the 2,000-mile frontier as part of a $1.9bn (£1.01bn) programme to seal off America's border. He also plans to increase the border patrol force.

NATHANIAL GRONWALD NEW YORK (CP) - The United States must move carefully and consider the full range of possible economic consequences before tightening security at the U.S.-Canada border, Canadian Ambassador Michael Wilson said Monday.
In an address to the Canadian Association of New York, Wilson warned that the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a law passed by the U.S. Congress requiring formal identification documents such as passports for travellers entering the United States, "threatens to drive an invisible wedge between our two peoples." |
