"Peter Lance has followed-up his book, 1000 Years for Revenge (reviewed at lewrockwell.com on Saturday, 9/11/04), with a new blockbuster, Cover Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War On Terror. Out of necessity, Lance restates the details outlined in his first book at the beginning of Cover Up.

In 1000 Years for Revenge Lance demonstrated that culpability for what happened on 9-11 ran through the three presidential administrations of Bush I, Clinton and Bush II.

<snip>

The work to cover up these unpleasant facts was begun by the 9-11 Commission coincident with its formation. As one commissioner, Jamie Gorelick, admitted in April of 2004, the "vast preponderance of our work, including with regard to the Department of Justice, focuses on the period of 1998 forward."

How convenient and how telling! What’s the point of looking into the FBI’s infiltration of the Brooklyn terrorist cell during the administration of George H. W. Bush? Why bother noting the ties established in 1992 between this cell and Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the World Trade Center bombing that took place just after the first Bush administration transferred power to the Clinton administration in February of 2003?

<snip>

After the Watergate scandals resulted in the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon, the saying "it’s not the crime that gets you, it’s the cover up" became popular. Because of Peter Lance’s new book, Cover Up, regarding the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the work of the 9-11 Commission, it will (hopefully) be both that ultimately leads to the punishment of all parties involved in the crime and the cover up."

2. I watched part of it today, and the impression I got

was that he blamed the Clinton admin (Gorelik was singled out) .. I dozed off and did not see the rest though :)
