"Loose Change" on CBS morning news

Postby OnoI812 » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:12 am

Did anyone else just see CBS up to the minute and morning news. <br><br>At 4:50 am EST, 9/11/06, CBS's Jim Stewart just ran a whole piece starting on "loose Change" and they didn't really trash it, but they moved on and morphed the piece into 9/11 loose ends that even the lead OCT 9/11 investigators still have problems with, mostly the las vegas 4, Atta et al, and the questioable activities of Atta in Maine. They spun it out to leave the impression that they had inside help here in the US and those helpers could be still out there planning the next attack.<br><br>It was incredible to see LC2 being played on MSM news. even if it was a few brief clips...anyone have Tivo?<br><br><br>on edit found the link, looks like this may have played last night as well:<br><br><br><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>9/11's Las Vegas Connection</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>Examining One Of The Lingering Mysteries Of The Sept. 11 Attacks<br><br>LAS VEGAS, Sept. 10, 2006<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2006/09/10/image1992177g.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>Dale WatsonDale Watson ran counterterrorism for the FBI and led the investigation into 9/11.

It may be the internet's first blockbuster movie. It says: "If the government has nothing to hide, why are they so afraid to answer a few questions....?"<br><br>Ten million have watched so far, and that's only a fraction of the 42 percent of Americans recently polled by Reuters who believe its message — that our own government covered up critical evidence of 9/11, CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart reports.<br><br>But it's more than conspiracy theories on the Internet at work here. Some of the very people who first investigated 9/11 admit there's still a lot they don't know about the plot.<br><br>Dale Watson ran counterterrorism for the FBI and led the investigation into 9/11.

But once here, the men essentially disappeared.<br><br>Five years later, what does Watson think they were doing?<br><br>"That's still a mystery to me, and I do not know the answer to that to this day," Watson told Stewart.<br><br>What worries him is the possibility that the hijackers had help somewhere in the United States — operatives who could still be here awaiting further orders.<br><br>"Were there other people checked in there, that were planning something else?" Watson asked.<br><br>Watson doesn't think they missed anyone, but Las Vegas Undersheriff Doug Gillespie, who was part of the original investigative team, says he's not certain.<br><br>"We're not sure why they chose Las Vegas," Gillespie said. "There's a lot of surveillance cameras inside hotel casino properties that have gaming."<br><br>But did they ever find any pictures of the alleged terrorists anywhere on any of them?<br><br>"No. None," Gillespie said.<br><br>A stripper at this club said she saw them. Police doubt it. They told a rental car company they were staying at this hotel, but they never showed.<br><br>And that's not all that continues to puzzle agents about the Las Vegas visits. On his first trip here hijacker Muhammad Atta rented a car, and drove it 110 miles in two days. But where did he go? Who did he visit with, if anyone?<br><br>There's not a clue.<br><br>And the loose ends aren't just in Las Vegas. Why did Muhammad Atta and his sidekick travel all the way to Portland, Maine, to connect with — and almost miss — the Boston flight they later hijacked? Fellow travelers remember how they stuck out.<br><br>"It was a little odd to see someone of Arab descent way up in Maine," Vincent Meisner said.<br><br>Why did Atta earlier travel all the way from Florida to Virginia Beach, Va., just to rent a mailbox? Some agents speculate he went there to scout the Atlantic fleet as a possible target. Others wonder if he had a secret meeting with a messenger from al Qaeda.<br><br>The FBI still doesn't know — but hasn't stopped looking.<br><br>Five years after the crime a dozen agents remain on the 9/11 case. And they still get 20 new leads a week.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><br><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/10/eveningnews/main1992178.shtml">www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/10/eveningnews/main1992178.shtml</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=onoi812>OnoI812</A> at: 9/11/06 4:29 am<br></i>

CNN did a little piece on Loose Change here:<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Video_CNN_covers_911_conspiracy_film_0913.html" target="top"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Video: CNN covers 9/11 conspiracy film 'Loose Change'</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>On the fifth anniversary of 9/11, a group of conspiracy theorists gather at the World Trade Center to call attention to their belief that the U.S. government participated in a cover-up of the 9/11 attacks. In the following video, CNN's Paula Zahn reports that an internet film titled "Loose Change" has lead many to question the government's version of events on 9/11.<br><br>Three amateur filmmakers created the film with $2,000 and a laptop computer. CNN reports that the internet film has spread like "wildfire". <br><br>It has been downloaded 10 million times and translated into 13 languages.<br> <p>___________________________________________<br>"BushCo aren't incompetent...they are Complicit!" -Me<br><br>"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act" -George Orwell<br><br>"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it - always." -Mahatma Gandhi</p><i></i>
