New Book from University of California Press names Cheney as 9/11 Suspect
In the new book, The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America, respected academic publisher, The University of California Press, prints a strong charge against Vice President Cheney, an extraordinary challenge coming from such an established publisher against a sitting Vice President;
"9/11 was the largest homicide by far in American history, yet it has never been adequately investigated. The public has been told of a conspiracy that included terrorist conspirators organized and financed abroad. But if U.S. defenses had functioned on that day as they had previously, the four planes at a minimum should have been intercepted by fighter aircraft. Yet we are told that even this did not happen. There is a domestic side to 9/11 as well, about which we still know next to nothing. Key evidence requested by the commission was initially withheld until subpoenas were issued, and some evidence was deliberately destroyed. Worse, there are systematic suppressions of evidence in the 9/11 Commission Report itself, along with unresolved contradictions in testimony and occasional misrepresentations of some crucial facts.
This chapter and the next will explore these issues and make the case that Vice President Cheney is himself a suspect in the events of 9/11 who needs to be investigated further."
- Peter Dale Scott, The Road to 9/11, p.194 (emphasis added)
An abridgment of the chapters that carry the charge is available here in PDF form, 143 kb download.
There are many reasons to impeach Cheney. This careful, thoroughly researched volume only adds to the fire. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in US Foreign and Domestic Policy, and indeed, 9/11.

6. Probably something dismissive.
Something like, "Nice haircut". Or maybe he just scratched his nose with his middle finger. He tends to do things like that.

51. Nixon was "hired" by Prescott Bush and a group of right-wingers . . .
to run for Congress . . . etc.
Nixon demanded not only his Congressional salary but a SLUSH fund as well ---
This group had run an ad in one of the newspapers just for this job!
I'd say that Nixon was quite their boy!
Of course, it was all run by the NAZIs living in South America...

30. I figure someone here is akin to Glenn Beck
Maybe the low ratings are getting him so pissed off and dropping any remaining pretense of seriousness the last couple of days.
HAHAHAHAHHA!!!

Here is an excerpt from the text of what Cheney said at the American Enterprise Institute on May 21, 2009:
"For me, one of the defining experiences was the morning of 9/11 itself. As you might recall, I was in my office in that first hour, when radar caught sight of an airliner heading toward the White House at 500 miles an hour. That was Flight 77, the one that ended up hitting the Pentagon. With the plane still inbound, Secret Service agents came into my office and said we had to leave, now. A few moments later I found myself in a fortified White House command post somewhere down below.
There in the bunker came the reports and images that so many Americans remember from that day - word of the crash in Pennsylvania, the final phone calls from hijacked planes, the final horror for those who jumped to their death to escape burning alive. In the years since, I've heard occasional speculation that I'm a different man after 9/11. I wouldn't say that. But I'll freely admit that watching a coordinated, devastating attack on our country from an underground bunker at the White House can affect how you view your responsibilities."

The first radar sighting of a plane approaching Washington was at 9:21 AM. In other words Cheney has confirmed his first account (and ours) that he was taken from his office earlier than 9:36 AM (as claimed in the 9/11 Report, p. 39), and first arrived in the bunker much earlier than "shortly before 10:00; perhaps at 9:58" (9/11 Report, p. 40, citing Cheney interview with Newsweek, November 19, 2001). There were of course no images to watch for some time from the crash in Pennsylvania, as opposed to the Pentagon.
What Cheney said yesterday adds nothing to his first account on September 16, 2001, but clearly discredits his second conflicting account for Newsweek two months later. (Cf. Peter Dale Scott, The Road to 9/11, 197-98, 200-01).
Wonder if Peter and Will share a bottle?
