Good piece in Salon on the Bushies’ attempts to squash any inquiry into 9/11 intelligence failures:
“We’ve been fighting for nearly 21 months — fighting the administration, the White House,” says Monica Gabrielle. Her husband, Richard, an insurance broker who worked for Aon Corp. on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center’s Tower 2, died during the attacks. “As soon as we started looking for answers we were blocked, put off and ignored at every stop of the way. We were shocked. The White House is just blocking everything.”
Another 9/11 family advocate — a former Bush supporter who requested anonymity — was more blunt: “Bush has done everything in his power to squelch this [9/11] commission and prevent it from happening.”
