Terrorist Warnings
by Rep. Cynthia McKinney
Several weeks ago, I called for a congressional
investigation into what warnings the Bush Administration received
before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. I was derided
by the White House, right wing talk radio, and spokespersons
for the military-industrial complex as a conspiracy theorist.
Even my patriotism was questioned because I dared to suggest
that Congress should conduct a full and complete investigation
into the most disastrous intelligence failure in American history.
Georgia Senator Zell Miller even went so far as to characterize
my call for hearings as "dangerous, loony and irresponsible."
Today's revelations that the administration,
and President Bush, were given months of notice that a terrorist
attack was a distinct possibility points out the critical need
for a full and complete congressional investigation.
It now becomes clear why the Bush Administration
has been vigorously opposing congressional hearings. The Bush
Administration has been engaged in a conspiracy of silence. If
committed and patriotic people had not been pushing for disclosure
today's revelations would have been hidden by the White House.
Because I love my country, because I
am a patriot, and because the American people deserve the truth,
I believe it would be dangerous, loony and irresponsible not
to hold full congressional hearings on any warnings the Bush
Administration had before the terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001.
Ever since I came to Congress in 1992,
there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've
been told to "sit down and shut up" over and over again.
Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and
unvarnished truth is placed before the American people.
