They can scrub the PNAC document clean of its wistful reference to the need for "another Pearl Harbor" to get their neo-con wet dream jump-started, but they will not escape the consequences of their inactions. "Out, out, damn spot!"
Ellen Mariani: "There was ample warning of these
attacks; and now I hear from news reports that
Condoleezza Rice doesn't want to testify publicly
under oath about all the intelligence briefings which
warned about planes flying into buildings. What does
she have to hide?"

President Bush Served Friday With Personal 9-11 RICO Complaint
PHILADELPHIA -- January 6, 2003 (TomFlocco.com) -- On
Friday, Philip J. Berg, attorney for 9-11 widow Ellen
Mariani in her Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act (RICO) suit seeking to hold
President Bush and various government officials
accountable for the September 11 attacks, served Bush
and top officials in his Administration with a
personal summons, the original complaint and the first
amended complaint via a federal process server, as
required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Among those served besides the President, were
Vice-President Richard Cheney, Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld, Attorney General John Ashcroft,
Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet,
National Security Advisor Dr. Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, 9-11
Congressional Victim Compensation Fund Special Master
Kenneth Feinberg, former Iraqi Dictator Saddam
Hussein, Zacarias Moussaoui, and former President
George H. W. Bush.
The legal documents were also filed at the
Philadelphia office of United States Attorney Patrick
Meehan, former Republican District Attorney from
Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
Berg told TomFlocco.com "the multiple summonses and
complaints were filed last week in Philadelphia; and
they require an answer within 60 days," adding "we
feel confident that we'll be successful, and that the
evidence in this case is so strong, it will lead to
the end of the Bush presidency."
Berg also told us "we're currently preparing written
interrogatories and subpoenas so that we'll be able to
keep the discovery of evidence and multiple
investigations moving forward at a reasonable pace."
For her part, plaintiff Ellen Mariani told us last
night that "There was ample warning of these attacks;
and now I hear from news reports that Condoleezza Rice
doesn't want to testify publicly under oath about all
the intelligence briefings which warned about planes
flying into buildings. What does she have to hide?"
The widow continued, "Our Congress created new laws to
protect themselves, the White House and the insurance
corporations. Insurance lobbyists even talked to
representatives and senators on the afternoon of the
attacks."
"And then Mr. Ashcroft's lawyers stalled the New York
City airline and airport security lawsuits and
investigations to force destitute victim families into
the Federal Compensation Fund. But they had to sign an
agreement promising never to sue the government about
9-11 evidence," she said. "So I decided to file
another suit; but this one includes everyone."
