New Story at TOM FLOCCO.com (http://www.tomflocco.com)

Commission Has Not Compelled Three Individuals Having Most Power
To Affect Immediate Action On 9-11 To Explain Their Failure To
Defend America. All Three Remained In Offices And An Elementary
Classroom While Four Planes Crashed. This, Despite Having 25 Minutes
Advance Notice From Secret Service, Pentagon, And Air Traffic
Controllers Prior To First Crash--But Also A Full Summer Of Frantic
But Now Classified Briefings About Planes Used As Weapons To Crash
Into Buildings, Thus Permitting White House To Shield Its
Prior-Knowledge.

PHILADELPHIA -- October 13, 2003 (TomFlocco.com) -- Tomorrows public
hearing on Capitol Hill, held by the National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States, will focus upon how intelligence
affects the War on Terrorism. However, the ten-member commission
is continuing to hear expert witness testimony mostly from former
government officials rather than compelling public testimony from
current high-ranking individuals in the executive branch to defend
their lack of decisive action on September 11, 2001.

Since the dramatic testimony and hallway media interviews held last
May 22-23 involving military generals and the Transportation
Department, the Commission has restrained itself from compelling
President George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Richard Myers to explain their highly
questionable actions on the day of the attacks. The timeline of
events is astonishing, in and of itself.

The first commandeered plane, American flight 11, was considered
hijacked at 8:13 am [33 minutes prior to crashing into the North
Tower at 8:46], having failed to follow flight instructions from
air traffic controllers, after which it turned 100 degrees south
toward New York City at 8:20 am. At that time, according to our
conversation with a Department of Transportation source, phone
bridges were established linking Secret Service, Defense Department,
NORAD, Transportation Department officials--and others. Thus,
President Bushs Secret Service detail in Florida was well aware of
a hijacking some 25 minutes before any of the planes impacted the
World Trade Center, Pentagon, or the field in Pennsylvania. And
Bush himself publicly told reporters at 8:35 am that he "would have
more to say later on."
