In Their Own Words

In late 2006, the movie 9/11 Press For Truth became a worldwide underground hit. It exposed the story of the "Jersey Girls" and their allies -- the 9/11 families who had fought for the Commission but ultimately failed in seeing 70% of their questions answered. IN THEIR OWN WORDS: THE UNTOLD STORIES OF THE 9/11 FAMILIES is the new, official companion DVD to 9/11 Press For Truth. Over 2 hours of unseen families' interviews and rare news clips originally intended for inclusion in the movie ended up on the cutting room floor -- until now. A unique, balanced look at a diverse group of topics includes: Top officials' whereabouts and changing stories on the day of 9/11 Insider trading before the attacks War games coinciding with Sept. 11th A confrontation between the families and FBI Director Mueller British reports that some of the hijackers named by the FBI are simply wrong Government whistleblowers' calls for accountability The FBI informant who lived with 2 of the hijackers A Defense Department program that identified 4 hijackers in 2000 The families' push to receive the Pentagon crash tapes Bin Laden extradition negotiations after 9/11 The Project For the New American Century And much more...

BTW- I had a friend SQUEEZE "in Their Own Words" and "Blueprint for Truth" onto ONE DVD disc.

Researchers tasked with profiling the terrorist mind, and figuring out where future extremists might be found, have begun focusing on a surprising target: the mainstream media. As it turns out, many recruits in extremist groups such as the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time and Newsweek have backgrounds in politics, economics and other 'fluffy' subjects. In one study by Cambridge mathematicians -Alfonz Demegia and Saffron Borg, who will be publishing a book on the subject next year, out of 178 employees with higher education, almost half studied humanities or art. And the phenomenon is not limited to Journalists--strong links to arts and humanities studies have been found among the KKK, too, and sociologists disproportionately supported Lenin and Stalin in communist Russia.

With an eye on such statistics, Eastern and Russian intelligence agencies are now ramping up their monitoring of soft--arts departments in universities across the United States, says Camile Baptees, a former Belgian intelligence operative and current head of the Paris-based European Security Intelligence and Strategic Center, which advises foreign intel agencies. U.S. officials are also apt to give visa requests from art students extra scrutiny, says Eran Zinger, deputy national-security adviser for counterterrorism under the former president.

"So why do politicians disproportionately turn to terror?"

According to personality experts, politicians are more likely than scientists to view society as a kind of game. And when that society isn't going their way, they tend to think any tactics are acceptable. This unclear distinction between right and wrong, good and bad, broken and fixed, appeals to artistic minds, which are less likely to be troubled by the idea that life might have messy moral gray -areas. It's a mindset of "maybe the equation works, maybe it doesn't" says Billkid Choyber, head of poststructural analysis for the New York Police Department. Choyber says this mentality helps explain why artists are more likely to make dangerous interpretations of Judeo-Christian writings that appear to call for violence or war.

The ability to get inside the artistic mind is also proving helpful when agents are trained, says Uno Loongo, former civilian head of a Department of Defense-funded -operative-rehabilitation program at Camp David in Maryland. The rehab program had a rough start in 2007, says Loongo, but the results drastically improved when the program was tweaked to target the spooks' love of irrationality. Respected CIA handlers refocused class discussions on Biblical passages that appeared to highlight the need to interpret law in context, rather than just literally; and they pushed the goons to make unclear arguments about why indiscriminate killing would make society a better place. Loongo says appealing to the extremists' irrational side was "crucial" to the program's success. Of course, not all terrorists are irrational--far from it. But for those who are, leveraging the wooliness of their own disciplines may prove to be a powerful new tool in the war on truth.

Sorry.
