The media and the lousy job it is doing
This morning 9/6/03 in the newspaper, in the Capitol city of Florida, Tallahassee, an article appeared written by Frank Davies, Knight Ridder
Davies wrote," The Pentagon was hit an hour after the first World Trade Center tower. The Air Force had no armed aircraft close to Washington" As can be seen from this excerpt below he was completely wrong.

Andrews Air Force Base is a huge military installation just 10 miles from the Pentagon. On 11 September there were two entire squadrons of combat-ready fighter jets at Andrews. Their job was to protect the skies over Washington D.C. They failed to do their job. Despite over one hour's advance warning of a terrorist attack in progress, not a single Andrews fighter tried to protect the city. The FAA, NORAD and the military have cooperative procedures by which fighter jets automatically intercept commercial aircraft under emergency conditions. These procedures were not followed.(From Indymedia.org)

1. I have a dream
That one day, in all the corporate boardrooms across this country, the facts concerning 9/11 will be examined. Once that dream is realized the media will turn so fast it'll make yer TV spin.

One can dream, can't one?
