How long does Bush remain in the classroom after being told America is under attack?
Pool reporters accounts are likely to be much more accurate than others.

Mr. President!
The morning of September 11, 2001 at what time did you give the order to ground all planes?
Our media has failed us, and in fact, may be complicit by a refusal to set the historical record straight.
Not one, absolutely not one of the pool reporters has asked this question, either:
Explain why you remained sitting in the classroom with second graders when you were told that America was under attack.

"9/11: The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition" DVD and videotape -
Sept. 11, 2001
Of course, everything changes on the morning of September 11th.
While responding to a small gas leak on a downtown street, the roar of a plane is heard overhead. Jules turns the camera upwards
to the sky and catches sight of the first plane slamming into Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. Without any time to waste,
Jules joins Battalion Chief Pfeiffer to respond to what is believed to be a terrible aviation accident, and documents the
goings-on at the command post that is set up in the lobby of Tower 1. Meanwhile, Gédéon is with Tony, who has been left in
charge of answering the phones at the empty firehouse, with little else to do other than watch the unfolding news coverage
in astonishment and shock. What then unfolds is a minute-by-minute account of the events that have become all-too-familiar
over the past year-- the second plane crashing into Tower 2, signaling that this was no accident; the collapse of both towers;
and the subsequent rescue operations at what would be called 'Ground Zero'.

HARRIS: I want to bring up a couple points if I may. We have been told that President Bush has been informed of this incredible
tragedy happening in New York. He did have an event scheduled at 9:00 this morning, which we were going to cover here, and
he has just canceled that event. We expect he will have some comments fairly soon, and we will bring those to you live the
moment that we understand he is available. But I'd like to ask you once again, Ira, if I can get to back asking you about
this particular crash. Is it possible that those who are tracking planes, either at La Guardia, can give us some more information
about exactly what happened here. Were these planes I guess using beacons to come in, or was there some sort of identification
of these planes, as they approach the New York area?
FURMAN: Yes, there should be, if they were under air traffic control. You've got one eyewitness telling you that The first
aircraft flew from Westchester and flew down through Manhattan, and directly into the World Trade Center, presumedly the north
tower. And now you've got -- you're showing the other aircraft coming in, looks to me like it would be from the West, into
the other tower.
Those planes could be, should be, normally would be under air- traffic control. But it is also entirely possible for aircraft
to fly into, through or over New York, or in this case into a building in New York, without being under the control, and we
use that word advisedly. All that means is information is what air traffic control is. And just operate and do whatever they
want, if they don't follow the rules of air traffic control.
Sadly, this early morning CNN report live, as news of the first plane crash and then the second plane crash comes in, is wrong.
President Bush did not cancel reading practice with the second graders, as we have now confirmed from many reputable sources.
The following site states use of CNN Chronology to develop a chronological record of the sequence of events of the 2001
World Trade Center Terrorist Attack.
While the effort is much appreciated, it is clear President Bush does not leave promptly after his chief of staff, Andrew
Card, whispers news of the attacks into his ear.

September 11, 2001 FBI targets Florida sites in terrorist search
The FBI used information from the planes' passenger lists to obtain search warrants for more than one location in south Florida,
including homes and post office boxes, a law enforcement source told CNN.
"We're looking at south Florida ties to some of the people we're looking at," the source said. One search will made at a location
in Daytona, the source said.
The White House announced late Tuesday that the first-ever nationwide grounding of flights would be lifted Wednesday and planes
should be flying by noon.

According to the CNN report, September 11, 2001 Posted: 11:56 PM EDT FBI used information from the planes' passenger lists
to obtain search warrants ...
That is one interesting fact, since the public has yet to have a complete list of those names on the planes' passenger lists.

Also, if this report is accurate:
The two airlines who had planes hijacked on Tuesday, United and American, released the number of people aboard each plane.
The two planes operated by American Airlines had a total of 139 passengers and 17 crewmembers on board when they crashed.
United Airlines reported 94 passengers on their two planes as well as 16 crewmembers.
Everyone on those four planes, at least 266 people, is presumed dead.
Why weren't the names of the hijackers for those planes on the listing for the total of passengers?

Everyone on those four planes, at least 266 people, is presumed dead.

And that total of 266 is off by one, one less. Why was one more reported and whose name is it?
What will our youth learn about September 11, 2001?
Will they learn about President Bush being in and out of focus for six minutes while half-listening to second graders practice
reading
Will they learn Bush was flashed a sign in the second-grade classroom: Don't Say Anything Yet?
Will they learn Bush asked Ari Fleischer to take notes for later?

9:05 a.m.: Andrew Card walks up to Bush while he is listening to a Goat Story with 16 second graders in Sandra Kay Danielss
class at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Card whispers in his ear "A second plane has hit the World
Trade Center. America is under attack." Bush (commander-and-chief?) keeps listening to this Goat Story with these children
for at least 7 minutes, and perhaps as long as 18 minutes.
Why he didn't excuse himself from these children right away, and immediately address this national emergency, is totally
illogical and unexplainable.

So what is it that distinguishes a 'conspiracy theory' from any other theory? Is it that the theory posits that two or more
actors have worked together, usually secretively, to achieve a common goal?
That, after all, is all that a 'conspiracy' really is. Or is it that the theory is unproven?

September 11 attacks a U.S. conspiracy?
There are many troubling questions that surround the September 11 attacks. Given that "U.S. military leaders proposed in 1962
a secret plan to commit terrorist acts against Americans and blame Cuba to create a pretext for invasion and the ouster of
Communist leader Fidel Castro" [Baltimore Sun, April 24 2001], the possibility of U.S. government, military, intelligence
complicity in the attacks should not be discounted.
However, we have others who tell us not to think about the possibility. Speaking to the United Nations general assembly, George
Bush said, "We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks
of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty."
Yet others are not so sure. In the first footnote to his presentation "Why there is a war in Afghanistan," delivered at a
teach-in/forum in Toronto on December 9 and sponsored by Science for Peace, University of Guelph professor John McMurtry stated,
"With any such hypothesis, one looks not only for the evidence confirming it, but more conscientiously, for the evidence disconfirming
it.
"The evidence confirming U.S. and allied security awareness of and possible complicity in the 9/11 attack is considerable,
but I have found no evidence disconfirming it," he said.
Let's look at some of the questions that have been raised.

The theory of a conspiracy of inaction, which I have posited, does not require the government to have had detailed knowledge.
It simply holds that the leading officials of the U.S. government wanted a terrorist event to take place in order to provide
the rationale for their preplanned agenda. The terrorist event could have been anything of significance, and not necessarily
the actual terrorist event that took place, with jetliners crammed with passengers crashing into the Pentagon and the World
Trade Towers. Allowing a terrorist event to take place simply required that the federal government refrain from interfering
with the terrorists' activities. And the government certainly followed that passive mode.

Bush briefed on hijacking threat before September 11
May 16, 2002
From John King
CNN Washington Bureau
|
President Bush's daily intelligence briefings in the weeks leading up to the September 11 terror attacks included a warning
of the possibility that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network would attempt to hijack a U.S.-based airliner, senior administration
officials said Wednesday.
But, the officials said, there was no speculation about the use of an airplane itself as a bomb or a weapon, and no specific,
credible information about the possibility of a hijacking of any sort.
It marks the first time the White House has acknowledged there was a warning of a potential hijacking linked to bin Laden
prior to the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
