9/11 QUESTIONS AREN'T GOING AWAY

Just two days after the catastrophe, on Sept. 13, Gen. Myers was confirmed as the new chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. On that day, he told the Senate Armed Forces Committee that no Air Force jets got into the air until after the attack on the Pentagon.

On Sept. 15, The Boston Globe reported on a strange contradiction. The Globe quoted NORAD spokesman Snyder, who insisted that "the command did not immediately scramble any fighters even though it was alerted to a hijacking 10 minutes before the first plane ... slammed into the World Trade Center." He said the fighters remained on the ground until after the Pentagon was hit at 9:40 a.m. But The Globe also expressed puzzlement over the new official story that had just emerged. Now Americans were being told that fighter jets roared up from Cape Cod and from Virginia, but just didn't make it in time.

Furthermore, no explanation was ever offered for the bizarre fact that Andrews Air Force base, whose job it is to defend the U.S. capital just 19 kilometres away, had no fighter jets ready to go into action — despite the months of serious warnings of impending terrorist attacks.

So, why didn't the Air Force intercept the hijacked planes? This is a reasonable question to which we have not been given an answer. I'm not suggesting a conspiracy, I'm just saying that the Bush administration isn't talking. Why? There are many more questions. Why have they moved to reclassify documents that are already part of the Congressional record? Why have they moved to classify the now famous "Phoenix Memo?" Why were the many warnings ignored? What's with the secrecy? Americans deserve answers.

Repeat loudly and continually: George Bush is not the President.
