New anti-Bush movie rivals Fahrenheit 911

[chequita guevara]

Lotta ignorant posts here. I haven't watched the whole thing, but it's definately not a 9/11 conspiracy film. No demolitions of buildins, no missiles hitting the Pentagon. So far its been about WH resistence to investigating what went wrong and how 9/11 happened, "why was the investigation so weak, etc?". I'm only 22 minutes in and don't intend to watch the whole thing though.

There are definately a lot of unanswered questions around 9/11. The whole truth will never be known, because it can't be known. That's the nature of things. But it's clear there was gross incompetence before the attacks, something that no one should have a hard time understanding given the conduct of the Iraq war, the Afgani war, or the response to Katrina.

I DID watch the whole thing. Here's a plot summary for those who have not:

4 women ("The Jersey Girls") who lost husbands on 9/11 found each other in their search for answers to their many questions. They pooled their research and got together. Started asking some hard hitting questions.

Included a list of hard hitting questions to ask the members of the 9/11 bi-partisan commission.

According to their own estimates, only some 30% of their questions ever got asked.

In short...they did not get the answers they were looking for, and did not have nice things to say about the way the commission did its job.

Further, the film introduces the work of Paul Thompson, who has compiled a MASSIVE listing of publicly available reports to get a more complete picture. He created an exhaustive timeline of that day (google Paul Thompson to see).

He shares many of the same question that the women do.

Their questions....important questions remain unanswered to this day.

The questions undoubtedly will remain unanswered as long as Republicans control congress.

As if DFL elites will answer them...
