9-11 Widow Sues the Bush Administration for Intelligence Failures
Ellen Mariani’s husband Neil died in flight 175 on September 11. Mariani refused a compensation package from the government of up to $1.8 million. Instead, she sued President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and other administration officials under RICO-the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations act.

4. I am sick of these 911 families
At first I was thinking ' Hey they lost loved ones cut them some slack' .

But after that crap they pulled on Guliani this week they have lost a lot of my sympathy. Get a grip. I didnt sue the mayor or police chief when my son got murdered there three years ago.

I dont hear the OK. CITY folks screaming and suing the that state government over the Timothy Mcveigh bombing. I seem to remember that being a terrorist attack. How much compensation did those people get? Or how much did they raise hell about getting?

Some of these families seem to think we must pay respects to their grief in perpetuity and I am sick of it.

6. No. The only way to bring TRUTH to the fore in this corrupt
administration is to sue. And that is not a guarantee either. They could have gotten money from the settlement money but they would have to sign a document where they could not try to discover any more details about what happened. They are courageous Americans.

7. You're right. They don't deserve the truth from their government.
Nor do they deserve our respect.

They need to "get over it" so that our leaders can continue to use an untarnished 9/11 narrative to further expand US imperialism.

5. The government STILL refuses to release
Edited on Fri May-21-04 03:00 PM by narcjen
the contents of the flight recorders, complete passenger lists, the black boxes, and most of the physical evidence of the 9/11 crash sites. Why are we being kept in the dark about these things?

"I am a 9/11 widow and I feel that this 9/11 commission is nothing but a cover up. Most of the families have been bought off and the only way for the truth is through my legal court action."

- Ellen Mariani, suing Bush and his senior cabinet
