In an effort to refresh your memory, and hopefully not dredge up the horror of that day (only the truth) I’d like to remind everyone that two of the planes hijacked on Sept. 11 were United Airline’s planes, the third plane took off from Dulles airport and we all know how the WTC played a part in this, sadly.

Despite the fact that Marvin Bush was a principle shareholder in this firm when most of the major security work for these three clients was designed and implemented he, nor the firm, have been brought before the 9/11 commission. Why? Why hasn’t the White House revealed its connection to the company? In fact paper work documenting this connection is being held from the public and Marvin Bush, as far as I know, refuses to reply to any journalists.

Actually, instead of being investigated he and the company he worked for have benefited. The Bush White House pushed limitations on liability and national security protections from investigation through congress and stalled the formation of the independent commission on 9/11 until these limitations were put into place. You may also remember this as the time the Bush administration intervened on a lawsuit brought against United Airlines by the families of the victim’s of 9/11. Starting to get pissed off yet?

Funny enough, another company benefiting from these limitations to investigation and liability is HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc, a company that carried some of the insurance of the WTC. Would it surprise you to know that Marvin Bush sat as director of that company until November of 2002 and remains an adviser to the chairman, plus is still on the board of directors, as well as a member of the companies investment committee?

But back to Stratesec. Once George Bush was made president of the United States Stratesec added a government division, “providing the same full range of security systems services as the commercial division.” They now had “an open ended contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) and a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the agency that allows the government to purchase materials and services from the Company without having to go through a full competition.” – from a press release by Stratesec in December 2000.

Let’s repeat that last line shall we, “WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH A FULL COMPETITION.” So much for the capitalist agenda and free market economy that Bush has been platforming on, but then who can forget no bid contracts to Haliburton?

The company, since the appointment of George Bush, now counts among its clients the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Department of Justice. In 2000 the U.S. Army gave the company 6.9 million dollars.

Dulles is regarded as a sensitive target due to its location, size, and number of international carriers flying in and out. It’s unusual for one company to handle security for both the airport and the airlines. It’s also unusual for a security firm serving international facilities to be tied to foreign-owned monies. It’s been suggested in security circles that the contract was not scrutinized enough. “Somebody knew someone,” says Wayne Black, head of a Florida based security firm. Black continues, “when you [a company] have a security contract, you know the inner workings of everything." And if another company is linked with the security company, then "What's on your computer is on their computer."

"You can have all the security systems in the world, but the people behind the systems make the difference," said retired FAA special agent Brian F. Sullivan. The Bush administration, "spit in the faces" of the victims' families, in pushing for last-minute protections for foreign-owned security companies (in the Homeland Security bill). "Not one single person" in an upper-level position has lost a job as a result of 9/11, "not in the FBI, CIA, FAA, DOT… No accountability, no progress." Sullivan also says, “If they [attackers] knew about the security system, they knew how to bypass it.”

So who could’ve known what about the security system?

As mentioned above, KuwAm - the Kuwait-American Corporation -- has been linked to the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One of its principals and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef Saud al Sabah, served on the board of Stratesec. At that time KuwAm held a large and often controlling interest in Securacom, at times as much as 90%, either directly or through partnerships.

Marvin Bush was reelected annually to Securacom's board of directors from 1993 through 1999. His final reelection was on May 25, 1999, for July 1999 to June 2000.

Stratesec and KuwAm were and still are intertwined at the top. Mishal Yousef Saud Al Sabah, the chairman at KuwAm, also served on Stratesec's board from 1991 to 2001.

The Saudi Arabian embassy, the country from which most of the hijackers came; the Kuwait embassy and KuwAm have office suites in the Watergate complex, where both Stratesec and Aviation General held their annual shareholders' meetings in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Bush was reelected to his annual board position there, across the hall from a Saudi Arabian Airlines office.

Incidentally, Saudi Princess Haifa Al-Faisal had her checking account at Riggs Bank, which has a large branch in the Watergate. Jonathan Bush, the president's uncle, is a Riggs executive, it is difficult to understand any obstacle for American authorities pursuing the recently reported "Saudi money trail.” The princess's charitable activities were processed through Riggs, but attention focused on the Saudis seems not to extend to the politically-connected bank they used since Riggs - which services 95 percent of Washington's foreign embassies – has not turned over records relating to Saudi finance.

But don’t forget, President Bush has nominated William H. Donaldson to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. Donaldson, a longtime Bush family friend, was a Yale classmate of uncle Jonathan Bush. So maybe that accounts for the leniency.

Neither the FBI nor any other agents have questioned anyone at Stratesec about the company's security work in connection with 9/11.

According to the FBI regional office, since October 2001, "the investigation [of 9/11] is being coordinated at the national level, directly from the White House." Riiiight.

Yes, that is an awful thing to have happen to someone alright.

I don't understand the "hah" though Mike. I know that couldn't be a laugh over a 62 year old woman being crushed by a car. I'm not suggesting that's what it was but that very well could be the first impression folks get from seeing it bubba.

More than likely it's a "hah" look at the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of his babysitter, right? Yeah, I can see conspiracy "Tee-hee" in it. She probably knew too much and had to be rubbed out using the old, "old lady run over by driverless car" gag. Works every time.

I think we're getting into 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon territory if you get my meaning.
<Geeez> I get the feeling I'm getting a bit nit-picky about things but then again I don't know how to take you guys sometimes. Sorry.

I think she was last seen renting "questionable" videos from Blockbuster.

Did you know that the people that own Blockbuster pray to the same God as the Bush's?

It's getting curioser and curiouser....

Only if they pronounce it the same. It's either "God" or "Gawd". You have everybody on the planet who pronounces it God on one side and everybody on the planet that pronounces Gawd on the other. True you may have a few fence riders who say Goawd while running their hands across their mouth, but they're going to hey-yell as everybody knows.

I think nobody knows about him because he is a loser.

I don't know, what's to talk about. Yeah, looks like cover the screw up time. But you know, if his name was Jones do you think he'd act any different? I've said this before, I think there are plently of things that need to be investigated.

Along this same vein, and not to distract, but does everyone remember the high number of sucides that surrounded the Clintin Admin? Nothing ever came of that as far as investigations did it?

And I do remember this being an issue.

I feel the same way about this as I do about Nixon, LBJ and the death of Kennedy. That is to say, I don't think Nixon and LBJ knew Kennedy was going to die, but I sure as hell think they knew men who knew Kennedy was going to die.

Clinton was tied to some organized crime, like all men of power, and I think he got deeply involoved in some pretty harry stuff. But I think those shadow men cleaned up after themselves, not to save Clinton, but to save themselves.

Problem is, none of it ever stuck. Mainstream reporters invistigated it to no avail. Republicans spent four times the amount of money investigating the Monica Lewinski (sp?) case than they have investigating 9/11. as well as the Whitewater investigations (with there never being an investigation of George Bush for Enron), but the Reps never sunk into an investigation of apparent suicides.

In comparison, there were 29 criminal convictions in the Reagan administration... but not one in the Clinton administration.

It seems the only sources for data on this are right wing nuts, which makes it just as suspect as data about the Bush administration actually comitting the 9/11 act - a theory running rampant through the more paraniod factions of the left. I think Bush was incompetant and greedy, but I don't believe he knew 9/11 was coming.

I believe Clinton was power hungry but I don't think he had those people killed. But I do think a lot of them were killed.

This is one truth I don't think we'll ever know.

I'd love it if someone else chimed up on this. I remeber hearing a lot of the data had been fabricated by right wing attack tanks. Which seems a hell of a lot more plausible considering what they did to John McCain in the Republican primaries. But I don't want to be partisan in this issue. Clinton seriously did some shady shit, and I know it... but I'm not convinced of murder.
