Add an EventWhy is the Indymedia network ignoring the call for a 9.11 investigation?
Why?
Truthout has conducted a poll, and presented the results to various Congresspeople. Thruthout asked if they would support a full investigation that also included the executive branch. Besides Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), two more Congresspeople, U.S. Representative Major R. Owens (D-NY) and U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) have said they support such an investigation.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a poll asking people if they believed the government had no foreknowledge of 9.11 and, unexpectedly, nearly 50% of the respondents said no. The paper quickly published an editorial piece about how the poll was meaningless. If that's true, why did they hold the poll in the first place? Will the paper henceforth cease citing polls in its stories since they are not, in its opinion, accurate?
While such a reaction is not unexpected, what is surprising is the almost total lack of coverage that the call for an independent 9.11 investigation is receiving from the Indymedia network. Why is one of the most important investigative stories of our time being ignored by one of the most vibrant and increasingly essential new sources of our time? Are Indymedia activists truly convinced of the veracity of a story that is being fed to them by the corporate media monolith and a government that took power by coup? [ Read More ]

Cynthia McKinney coming out publically and challenging Bush and Cheney hardly made a peep across the Indymedia network (what a courageous woman)
The FBI Chief said "In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper -- either here in the United States or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere -- that mentioned any aspect of the Sept. 11 plot."
This also has not become a featured story on any center column other than portland
In light of the great importance of this story, i feel quite justified to say it is being ignored by Indymedia
the beauty of the newswires can be seen here. . .if it were not for them, so many people would never hear about these critical stories
additionally, i think it telling, that the newswire story that has elicited the most comments ever on sf indy is about the 9.11 investigation. . .many people want to know
the newswires have shown themselves as the true heart of indymedia

Very good question. The Indymedia Network should join the voices of trillions upon trillions of other citizens on Planet Earth who are demanding a Grand Jury be convened to investigate 9/11. I urge all who are interested to join in these voices and demand a Grand Jury investigation into this. Won't you join us?
