The Ashcroft Connection to 9/11
Edited on Mon Aug-02-04 07:24 PM by ck4829
Who knew this one man in our government could have so many ties to 9/11

1. Ashcroft had a hand in appointing the Faulty Translators that Sibel Edmonds had such a huge problem with.

2. Sibel Edmonds was also gagged by John Ashcroft because she wanted to go public with the information she had found.

3. John Ashcroft had supposedly stopped flying commercially in July of 2001.

4. John Ashcroft was found to be lying by the 9/11 Commission.

What does Ashcroft really know?

I know it's ignored but I didn't know they were disputing it.

In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.

4. I have heard different things
I personally believe #3, but I had heard other people say that he in fact was not warned.

3000 dead, conscription into a new era, "we're changing America", "The world changed on 911"... They will do anything to retain their hold.

5. If a month-by-month breakdown of FISA warrants approved for 2001...
...ever gets out, we may see clear signs of obstruction by the DofJ in the investigation of terror suspects.

6. Put your tinfoil hats on

Who else would have been in a position to ensure that
John O'neill would be offered the job of chief of security for
the WTC complex shortly after he "retired" from the FBI where
he was head of counter-terrorism. He joined the WTC one month
before 9/11.

7. #3. Not 'supposedly' stopped flying... he DID stop flying!
Edited on Mon Aug-02-04 07:47 PM by Flubadubya
Here's the article from July 26, 2001 showing that Ashcroft did indeed stop flying commercially... as per DOJ's official report.
