The widow of one of the innocents killed in the 9/11
terrorist attacks is suing the _resident and other
prominent members of the Bush cabal under the RICO
Act. The LNS sent you the filing, two weeks ago, but
the "US mainstream news media" clearly has a blackout
on the story...A press conference was held in
Washington, D.C. yesterday...Nothing...Here is the
first mention of it that we could find...anywhere in
the US media, and it is not "mainstream"...James
Ridgeway, writing in the Village Voice...
James Ridgeway, Village Voice: "The suit claims that means they therefore "abetted the murder of plaintiff's husband," so he is suing the Bushies, under the RICO Act, for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and wrongful death. The suit documents detailed forewarnings from foreign governments and FBI agents, what it calls the unprecedented delinquency of our air defense, and the inexplicable half-hour dawdle by Bush himself at an elementary school after hearing the nation was under deadly attack. Berg's suit also notes the administration's incessant invocation of national security and executive privilege to withhold documents and accuses the government of obstructing the investigation"

Attack? What Attack? Difficult to Prove Bush Knew Anything, Then or Now
December 10 - 16, 2003
Last week, Howard Dean raised the question whether
Bush had foreknowledge of a 9-11 attack. "The most
interesting theory that I've heard so far—which is
nothing more than a theory, it can't be proved—is that
he was warned ahead of time by the Saudis," Dean said.
Asked Sunday about this statement, Dean replied, "I
can't imagine the president of the United States doing
that"—but then said Bush should "give the information"
to the 9-11 Commission. When asked why he raised the
theory in the first place, Dean said, "Because there
are people who believe that. We don't know what
happened in 9-11."
At the same time, Phil Berg, a former deputy attorney
general of Pennsylvania, filed suit in U.S. District
Court in Pennsylvania on behalf of Ellen Mariani,
widow of Louis Neil Mariani, who was aboard Flight 175
when it hit the south tower on 9-11. Berg said the
suit was being brought by Ellen Mariani as part of an
effort "to get to the truth of what happened." The
attorney filed a 62-page complaint charging that
"President Bush and officials including, but not
limited to, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Ashcroft, and
Tenet," had "adequate foreknowledge" of 9-11, yet
failed to warn the country or attempt to prevent it
and have been covering up the truth of that day ever
since. The suit claims that means they therefore
"abetted the murder of plaintiff's husband," so he is
suing the Bushies, under the RICO Act, for conspiracy,
obstruction of justice, and wrongful death. The suit
documents detailed forewarnings from foreign
governments and FBI agents, what it calls the
unprecedented delinquency of our air defense, and the
inexplicable half-hour dawdle by Bush himself at an
elementary school after hearing the nation was under
deadly attack. Berg's suit also notes the
administration's incessant invocation of national
security and executive privilege to withhold documents
and accuses the government of obstructing the
investigation.
Ellen Mariani dropped her previous attorneys to go
with Berg, who has a reputation as a political
activist in Pennsylvania. Following the Supreme
Court's decision in the Florida election case, he
wrote to the court demanding disbarment of Justices
Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence
Thomas, claiming they "must accept the consequences of
their partisan action." Berg demanded that the three
"voluntarily turn in their licenses in their
respective states or we will ask that disciplinary
action be undertaken, including disbarment as well as
summary suspension in their respective states for
violating the Rules of Court and not 'recusing'
themselves in the case of Bush v. Gore."
