9/11 Press for Truth

I was sent an email this morning informing me of a new documentary that has been recently released regarding the possible negligence of the Bush Administration on the events of 9/11.

Titled 9/11 Press for Truth, 1 hr 24 min, this documentary is

Adapting Paul Thompson’s definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (published by HarperCollins as ‘The Terror Timeline’), the filmmakers collaborate with documentary veterans Globalvision (‘WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception’, ‘Beyond JFK’) to stitch together rare overlooked news clips, buried stories, and government press conferences, revealing a pattern of official lies, deception and spin. As a result, a very different picture of 9/11 emerges, one that raises new and more pressing questions.

What actions were taken by top government officials who received dozens of specific warnings before the attack? Was Osama Bin Laden and his top al Qaeda leadership allowed to escape U.S. forces in Afghanistan? And what has been the reason for the deliberate obscuring of evidence for state sponsorship? Perhaps the most important one of all: Why, five years later, are so many of the families’ questions still unanswered?

By posting this video and the other 9/11 videos on this blog does not mean that I subscribe to the conspiracy theories regarding the United States Governments involvement with the attacks. What I do have are unanswered questions regarding these events and why our Administration continues to get caught in out right lies.

When watching this video you are made aware of several facts. The first fact being that the amount of information regarding these events is beyond the average citizen’s comprehension. There are people who have devoted every waking second of last 5 years attempting to uncover every morsel of information they could yet they are still perplexed by many of the actions demonstrated by the United States Government leading up to and after 9.11. With all the information they have uncovered they still have many unanswered questions.

This leads me to the second fact which you are made aware of by this documentary, the importance of news media in our society. It’s just a reality that there is only so much time in our lives to follow events of major stories as they unfold. American citizens vote for policy based upon the information provided by the media and in order for Americans to ensure our society is progressing we must criticize our national news media as much as we criticize our Government.
