US 'to charge six 9/11 suspects'
Excerpt:
"The Pentagon has announced charges against six Guantanamo Bay prisoners over their alleged involvement in the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.
Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the six, who include alleged plot mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed."
Alex: I do believe in locking up and throwing away the key for those who deserve it. But I do not believe in the death penalty.

Giuliani ad links World War II, 9/11
Giuliani ad links World War II, 9/11
Alex: How long is Giuliani going to milk for political purposes the lives of deceased Americans (that's my view). I lived in and around NYC almost the entire time Giuliani was Mayor. In my opinion (don't get me started) his negatives far far outweighed his positives.
Well, we as a nation have most recently elected President Bush (who some feel is a warmonger) for the last two terms, so we'll see what we as a nation do next
Excerpt:
"Called "Freedom," the 60-second spot mixes video of Giuliani speaking and then speaking over images of American soldiers and homefront workers during the war and then firefighters at Ground Zero in New York. One is the famous photo of Marines planting the US flag on Iwo Jima and another of the flag raised over the rubble of the World Trade Center. In stump speeches, he has directly linked those two events."

9/11 Panel Study Finds That C.I.A. Withheld Tapes - New York Times
Excerpt:
"A seven-page memorandum prepared by Philip D. Zelikow, the panel’s former executive director, concluded that “further investigation is needed” to determine whether the C.I.A.’s withholding of the tapes from the commission violated federal law.
In interviews this week, the two chairmen of the commission, Lee H. Hamilton and Thomas H. Kean, said their reading of the report had convinced them that the agency had made a conscious decision to impede the Sept. 11 commission’s inquiry."
