The 9-11 Terror Commission’s Missing Recommendation

Rise up, “Little People!”  Rebel!  Revolt!  Think of a Congress and a Senate where there are no Republicans or Democrats.  They’re all Independents, and they’re all untouchable by lobbyists, special interest groups and big business because no one has an influence over their vote on any issue except their own constituency.

Take heart “Little people,” and “Little groups.”  You do have a chance to make a difference in this world.  This “Little group” (of 10) 9-11 Commission members are changing the face of American politics, from the President and Congress down.   I just wish they had included the new pronunciation guide for our state: “Cal-eeeeee-forn-yah!”

Are you blameless in the 9-11 disaster?  Were you--or are you-- too busy living the good life to even care?  The 9-11 Report is in, but there’s a serious underlying structural problem not mentioned because it’s beyond their scope.

Unless you’ve been skiing in Siberia, where the snow is nice this time of year with a heat wave in the high 20s, or scuba diving in the Caribbean, where there are no newspapers, radios, or TVs down in the ocean depths, you know what “The Report” is.  How important is The Report?

 The 9-11 Terror Commission members thought the worst was over. In disbelief they had listened in disbelief to the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Attorney General Ashcroft.  What could possibly be worse than what they had already heard?  The answer was the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

CSI:  THE 9-11 TERROR COMMISSION LOVE-HATE DILEMMA

 

Episode #3 in a Continuing Series.

 

     If any witness had the potential to evoke a love-hate relationship out of the 9-11 Terror Commission, it was Robert Mueller, who was sworn in as FBI Director a scant two weeks before the 9-11 disaster in 2001.

A Total Loss of Confidence in the FBI.

 

     In one hour and 42 minutes, the illustrious reputation of the 93- year-old FBI crumbled faster than the concrete from the 9-11-2001 World Trade Center disintegration.

     By the time I got involved, Janie, age 10, a golden-haired, blue-eyed pixie, had already been to a “cattle call” audition for twenty kids, where five were supposed to be selected for movie roles.

    Cats.

     Felis domestica, if you recall your Latin.   You don’t?  How about a carnivore of the family Felidae: lions, tigers, leopards, and ordinary domestic cats.  There are many similarities between the big cats and the little cats, but all cats have one trait in common: “stealth.”  Big or small, cats are born with stealth.  They proudly wear the word like a badge of honor.

Mary is 36, married with two children, ages 8 and 10, who are sitting in the back seat of her 2002 Toyota Corolla as she searches for a parking spot in a busy mall parking lot. Josh was babbling about getting to soccer practice on time, fretting that the stop at the mall would make him late. His sister Gina, age 10, scolded Josh, showered him with elder wisdom, and told him she had to buy a CD to use for tonight's homework....
