The CIA Inspector General’s report declassified on Monday makes it painfully clear: We missed 9/11 because no one in Washington talks to each other.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Off On Global Warming Trip

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is on an overseas trip to embrace an audience and a topic for which President Bush has shown scant affection: “Old Europe” and global warming.

Pelosi, D-Calif., and seven other House members left Saturday for meetings with scientists and politicians in Greenland, Germany and Belgium on ways to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Another Angle (which I don’t completely agree with):

GLOBAL WARMING OR CONVERSION OF MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX?

Global warming is on the minds of people all over the planet. They are talking
about how strange their weather is these days. Severe fluctuations are causing
new weather patterns alien to communities worldwide. Obviously, the growth in
greenhouse gases is a primary reason for global warming.

Al Gore for 9/11 Truth???

The Guardian/UK
A Drive For Global Domination Has Put Us In Greater Danger
Moral Authority, Which Is Our Greatest Source of Strength, Has Been Recklessly Put at Risk by This Wilful President
by Al Gore

“Most Americans have tended to give the Bush-Cheney administration the benefit of the doubt when it comes to its failure to take action in advance of 9/11 to guard against an attack. Hindsight casts a harsh light on mistakes that should have been visible at the time they were made. But now, years later, with the benefit of investigations that have been made public, it is no longer clear that the administration deserves this act of political grace from the American people. It is useful and important to examine the warnings the administration ignored – not to point the finger of blame, but to better determine how our country can avoid such mistakes in the future.

Update
Al Gore is on-the-money with some of his anti-Bush Administration and anti-Iraq War talk. It’s hard not to want to support him.

On the other hand, it’s hard for this editor to not believe that Gore knows he is participating a s a deceiver-for-hire with his Global Warming hysteria campaign.

An Evening With Al Gore and Harry Shearer–Exclusive to Crooks and Liars

On Tuesday night here in Los Angeles, Academy Award winner, Al Gore acted looser, looked thinner and sounded funnier than any public appearance in recent memory. In fact, one could say he seemed downright Clintonian – in the good way that is. The evening at the Wilshire Theatre sponsored by Writers Bloc/ Los Angeles was structured as a Q&A and hosted by Simpson’s voiceover artist and more famously, Spinal Tap rock star. Harry Shearer. (He also has a new book out, a novel, “Not Enough Indians” and announced that Spinal Tap would reunite for Live Earth this summer.)

Blair: US may back carbon deal

The US may be willing to back an agreement at next month’s G8 summit on cutting carbon dioxide emissions, Tony Blair has said on BBC TV.

Up to now, the Bush administration has championed voluntary agreements as an alternative to imposing binding caps.

Germany has made climate a priority for its G8 presidency.

The prime minister said awareness of the issue among Americans was growing and it was possible the US will sign up to “at least the beginnings” of action.

Last September, California became the first US state to set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The 800-Year Lag

Until I watched the Global Warming Swindle, I had confined my criticisms of anthropogenic global warming theory to two general areas: 1) The models for future warming are overstated and 2) The costs of warming may not justify the costs of preventing it.

The movie offered an alternate hypothesis about global warming and climate change that, rather than refute the magnitude of anthropogenic global warming, provided a counter hypothesis. You should watch the movie, but the counter hypothesis is that historic temperature changes have been the result of variations in solar activity. Rather than causing these changes, increased atmospheric CO2 levels resulted from these temperature increases, as rising ocean temperatures caused CO2 to be driven out of solution from the world’s oceans.

More Hooey from FOS11

An update on the educational campaign of ‘Turning the D into an A’, the Collaborative Efforts of the Families of September 11 and the Nuclear Threat Initiative Project

Turning the D into an A:
A Project to Help Prevent Nuclear Terrorism

January 2007 Update

New Nuclear Smuggling Case Is A Wake Up Call

There was an alarming news report last week about a man who was caught smuggling stolen weapons-grade highly enriched uranium, material that could be used to make a nuclear bomb (Click to read the New York Times or Associated Press stories).

This incident should be a wake-up call to all of us. The threat of nuclear terrorism is real.

  • There are nuclear weapons materials, highly enrichred uranium or plutonium, in over 40 countries. In too many cases these materials lack adequate security.
  • Terrorist groups are trying to get nuclear weapons. Osama bin Laden has said that acquiring them is a “religious duty” and an al Qaeda member has said they have the right to kill 4 million Americans, 2 million children.
  • A dangerous gap remains between the threat and actions to prevent it.
  • The most effective way to prevent nuclear terrorism is to lock down nuclear materials at the source.

Take Action. Just Five Minutes Can Make a Difference

Please take the time now to send a message to your elected officials. Ask them to get personally involved and make preventing nuclear terrorism their top priority. More than 500 letters have already been sent – please add yours. Click here to go to our action center and send your message.

A “Turning the D into an A” Progress Report

With your help, the Safer World Action Network is making a difference.

In just the last few months:

  • Thousands of people have shown their support for locking down nuclear weapons and materials by joining the Safer World Action Network and ordering their own copy of Last Best Chance;
  • Safer World Action Network members sent thousands of messages to television stations across the country asking them to air our public service ads and your efforts paid off. TV stations in more than 50 cities have shown the ads and have helped us raise awareness of and build support for preventing nuclear terrorism. (If you haven’t seen them yet click here to watch the ads).
  • We’ve organized more than a dozen Last Best Chance screenings and discussions around the country and more are scheduled for coming months.

Please help us do more. Forward this email to five friends and ask them to visit www.saferworld.org and join the Safer World Action Network today.

Together we can make a safer world.


Report from the field:

We had another successful public event last week, this time at Georgetown University. More than 200 people turned out for a screening of the movie Last Best Chance, followed by a debate and question and answer period.

The program opened with an overview of the “Turning the D into an A” program and a reminder to the audience to sign in or visit www.saferworld.org

We showed the “Turning the D into an A” ads and the movie. After the movie, Dean Robert Gallucci and Professor Dan Byman debated the issue before opening the program up to questions from the audience.
