Thanks to both. They have both really come around. Despite the biting skepticism of Chip Berlet and Noam Chomsky insulting peoples intelligence for searching for 9/11 justice, Amy and Michael prove that if we take a reserved, fact based approach, people come around. This is a HUGE deal. These two (Amy/Michael) have the power to make 9/11 justice seeking "cool" among the vast majority of the left. MASSIVE NEWS!!!

There is no excuse for Ashcroft, on any front.

Did you give him a good reference for this fact? Do you have this on vid? What's your point, cause he currently sounds right on. Are you saying we shouldn't spread this vid around like wildfire because you couldn't phrase a question right 5 years ago? What else did you say to him when you asked him? Push any conspiracy theories?

It's not black and white when one can say that "flights resumed". Moore might have forgotten the details, and there's the additional confusion of commercial and private. From historycommons:

September 13, 2001:
Saudi Royals Fly to Kentucky in Violation of Domestic Flight Ban

After a complete air flight ban in the US began during the 9/11 attacks, some commercial flights begin resuming this day. However, all private flights are still banned from flying. Nonetheless, at least one private flight carrying Saudi royalty takes place on this day. And in subsequent days, other flights carry royalty and bin Laden family members. These flights take place even as fighters escort down three other private planes attempting to fly. Most of the Saudi royals and bin Ladens in the US at the time are high school or college students and young professionals. [New York Times, 9/30/2001; Vanity Fair, 10/2003] The first flight is a Lear Jet that leaves from a private Raytheon hangar in Tampa, Florida, and takes three Saudis to Lexington, Kentucky. [Tampa Tribune, 10/5/2001] This flight apparently takes place several hours after a private meeting between President Bush and Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the US. Some think the idea of the flights were approved at that meeting (see September 13, 2001). For two years, this violation of the air ban is denied by the FAA, FBI, and White House, and decried as an urban legend except for one article detailing them in a Tampa newspaper. [Tampa Tribune, 10/5/2001] Finally, in 2003, counterterrorism “tsar” Richard Clarke confirms the existence of these flights, and Secretary of State Powell confirms them as well. [MSNBC, 9/7/2003; Vanity Fair, 10/2003] However, the White House remains silent on the matter. [New York Times, 9/4/2003] Officials at the Tampa International Airport finally confirm this first flight in 2004. But whether the flight violated the air ban or not rests on some technicalities that remain unresolved. [Lexington Herald-Leader, 6/10/2004] The Saudis are evacuated to Saudi Arabia over the next several days (see September 14-19, 2001).

International is exactly right. Would probably be the most expeditious anyway with regard to getting results. That, and the majority of the truth movement is overseas and doesn't have to worry about forsaking "patriotism" or offending neighbors, etc. The U.N., of course, I'm quite sure, will not endorse such an investigation, being that the cabal involved with the planning and motive for the 9/11 attack, is in itself, international...or more accurately, non-national, ideologically speaking. I wouldn't anticipate the U.N. being an ally to the 9/11 truth movement in any effective manner.

Incidentally, the idea of "re-opening" an investigation into 9/11 by strickly U.S. authorities who would then obviously run it, and filter its "findings" through the same corporate media apparatus that's been its primary cover-up tool since the day of 9/11/01, is something that George Carlin may himself have taken apart with fine repose and eloquence.

International is not simply a "better" idea, it's the only option.
