NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, four princes and other Saudi entities are immune from a lawsuit filed by victims of the September 11 attacks and their families alleging they gave material support to al Qaeda, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday.
The ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld a 2006 ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Casey dismissing a claim against Saudi Arabia, a Saudi charity, four princes and a Saudi banker of providing material support to al Qaeda before the September 11 attacks.
The victims and their families argued that because the defendants gave money to Muslim charities that in turn gave money to al Qaeda, they should be held responsible for helping to finance the attacks.
The appeals court found that the defendants are protected under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
The court also noted that exceptions to the immunity rule do not apply because Saudi Arabia has not been designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. State Department.NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, four princes and other Saudi... more

"Oh my God" was heard repeatedly as crowds watched the twin towers of the World Trade centre collapse on September 11, 2001, in a vivid highlight of the movie shown over defence objections at the terrorism conspiracy trial of Salim Hamdan.

"If they hadn't shot down the fourth plane it would've hit the dome," Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks.
The tribunal's chief prosecutor, Col. Lawrence Morris, later explained that Stone was quoting Hamdan in evidence that will be presented at trial. Morris declined to say if the "dome" was a reference to the U.S. Capitol.
"Virtually no one knew the intended target, but the accused knew," Stone said.
United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania. U.S. officials have never stated it was shot down although rumors saying that abound to this day.

A Taliban suicide bomber killed at least 17 civilians, most of them children, and four police in a bazaar in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, police said.
Taliban suicide bombs have killed more than 230 civilians and wounded nearly 500 already this year, NATO says.
Afghan and foreign forces are stopping a greater proportion of the attacks but the Taliban are attempting many more suicide bombings this year compared to last, security experts say.
In the latest attack the bomber, travelling on a motorcycle, targeted a police vehicle in a bazaar in the Deh Rawood district of Uruzgan province, the provincial police chief told Reuters.
"Seventeen civilians and four policemen died in the attack. Thirty-seven more civilians and five police have been wounded," Juma Khan Himat said by telephone, adding the death toll could rise. Most of the civilian victims were children, he said.
Afghanistan is suffering from a rising tide of violence this year, with a sharp increase in Taliban attacks, especially in the east where NATO says militants have taken advantage of peace deals in Pakistan to cross the border and fight in Afghanistan.
The Interior Ministry in Kabul said 24 people, four of them police, including a senior officer, were killed in the attack.
Growing insecurity has added to the rising frustration of many Afghans more than six years after U.S.-led and Afghan forces overthrew the Taliban government after it refused to hand over al Qaeda leaders behind the September 11 attacks on the United States.A Taliban suicide bomber killed at least 17 civilians, most of them children, and four... more

"People who do not talk about traumatic experiences can fare better than those who "let it all out", say researchers.
The University at Buffalo study compared the progress of 3,000 people who took different approaches over two years following the 9/11 attacks.
It found people initially unwilling to talk were less likely to be adversely affected two years later.
But a UK psychologist said that other studies had suggested that for many people talking did help.
The popular advice that it is better to talk about your feelings after a trauma has been the subject of dozens of different research projects.
This latest one involved 3,000 people who completed online surveys in the days immediately following the 2001 attacks and over the course of the next two years.
Those taking part had not lost a loved one or friend.
People who took part were allocated to different groups depending on whether they said that they felt ready to express their feelings or not.
If the assumption that it is healthier to talk about feelings is correct, then the researchers, led by Dr Mark Seery, would expect to see those who were initially uncommunicative coping worse over time with their traumatic memories.
However, the reverse was true, and those who chose not to talk appeared to be in better psychological shape.""People who do not talk about traumatic experiences can fare better than those... more

Former Chief Economist under George W. Bush 2001/2002:
"President Bush! Come out with your hands up. You're under arrest. The people DEMAND your trial for treason on 9/11."
On 9/11 I had been one week on the Job in the Bush administration which started on September 4th.
I saw black smoke billowing out of the tower and I pointed to it and said, 'That building will not fall' count on an economist for a quick and easy prediction.
When I learned that both towers had turned to dust I said 'How can that happen. I don't get it, I was wrong and so many people were wrong. Never thinking that the Bush administration could have been involved or permit the atrocities of 9/11.
I worked for nearly 16 more months before I resigned and then when they invaded Iraq I knew it was on Big Lies. Everybody in town (Washington DC) really knew it, they wouldn't own up to it or do anything about it.
They're cowards, or traitors, or both.
If they're going to lie their way into a war in the Middle-East, what else would they lie about? That started me thinking right away about 9/11. I started searching around.
During the course of 2003, I'd learned THEY'VE DONE IT and by the time I'd read David Ray Griffin's "The New Pearl Harbor" I said, David's done it right he's put it together in a way that appealed to me as an academic.Former Chief Economist under George W. Bush 2001/2002:

THE ULTIMATE PROOF
NO PASSENGER JET HIT WORLD TRADE CENTER 1
An analysis of the Naudet brothers' footage
of the first strike on World Trade Center 1.
If someone asks you to see a video of the WTC exploding with no plane in it, here's your best choice. The Naudet WTC1 footage is maybe the most famous of all the 9/11 images.
My analysis here has consisted - as usual - in slowing down the video, check it frame by frame and occasionally crop (enlarge) some shots to view the fine details. (As ever, I have of course NOT altered one single pixel of the material ).
The graphic object diving into the tower appears to be transparent : I call it 'THE GLASS PLANE'. It really is a poor graphic insertion. No video compression will make a block of pixels change color entirely depending on the background it is cast against. But more, much more importantly :
EVIDENCE OF MISSING AIRPLANE :
We may observe that the visible right side of the tower remains intact until 6 seconds after impact . Indeed, we may see 30% of the (righthand) wall still INTACT for several seconds after impact. At the 6sec mark we see the ignition of the shape charges which eventually rip open the wide plane-shaped hole we all remember.
As the explosive charges only manage to open a 130ft-wide gash, a problem arises for the perpetrators : a Boeing 767's wingspan is 156 feet. So, to fix this problem, the far right tip of the gash (representing 'plane's wingtip') gets penciled in digitally on the video to reach the approx160gash-width required to 'sell' the idea of a Boeing767 melting entirely into WTC 1. (NOTE TO SKEPTICS : No, that black gash appearing suddenly is NO SMOKE - it appears too quickly and develops in opposite wind direction).
The inescapable conclusion is that NO LARGE PASSENGER JET crashed into the WTC1.

DEFINITIVE PROOF OF TV FAKERY
The newsmedia aired forged broadcasts on 9/11
THIS IS A VIDEO ANALYSIS of 4 so-called "amateur" shots
of the strikes on WTC2 on 9/11 2001.
THE SHOTS ANALYZED ARE CREDITED TO :
1 : Evan Fairbanks
2 : Luc Courchesne
3 : Michael Hezarkhani
4 : Tina Cart
MOST RELEVANT POINTS TO FOCUS ON
IF YOU WISH TO DISCUSS THIS RESEARCH :
SHOT 1 : (Evan Fairbanks) This video has many oddities. One is that the airplane melts into the tower with NOTHING - not even the aft assembly – breaking off. Another is the impossible reflection in the car windshield : this incredible blunder establishes the ineptitude of the authors of this forgery - or the courage of a whistleblower.
SHOTS 2 & 3 (Courchesne and Hezarkhani) : Both these shots clearly show, on 'plane' impact, two explosions on the tower (over and under right wingtip). If these are not shape charges planted in the tower, what could they possibly be ? Please do not suggest “fuel in the wingtips exploding” …
SHOT 4 : (Tina Cart) The stripes on the World Trade Centers are extremely bright - even though they are in shade. This ALONE exposes this shot as a forgery. If you should disagree, please explain.
The ineptitude of the "911 video forgery team" may be a difficult thing to take in. How could such incompetence go undetected in a presumably well-funded operation ? Yet this is what we have and what emerges from the close scrutiny of these images, repeatedly broadcast on TV.

Here's an interesting Op Ed from the NY Times today written by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton who served as chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the 9/11 commission. It's about how the newspaper asked the CIA numerous times for information after the law was put into effect to release all information about these serious attacks on America.
Don't get me wrong, I love my country as I love my wife. But the lies and deceitfulness incorporated into many facets of our Government needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.
Lies from the city, county, state governments to lies on Capital Hill. Lies that put people in prisons, Lies that keep people in prisons, Lies that keep people below poverty level, lies, lies and lies. Lies about our Social Security system AND Numbers. The old SS Cards had a disclaimer on the bottom that said: The SS# Will never be used for Identification purposes.
Now we are merely a number with our government. Furthermore, the SS system is unfortunately broken. Another major lie is that SS helps people after retirement or if they are disabled. Some, but not all that deserve it.
Lies.
This CIA bit really brings out the problem the people of our country need to address when the votes start. We need to lobby for laws making lies by our government officials a major felony without any pardoning (look at the Valery Plame case, what a crock that turned out to be with 'Scooter' getting pardoned!) We need to clean up the governments act and hold people responsible for their lies. On every level of government. Lies from a prosecuting attorney to get someone convicted? Give that attorney the max the law provides for the crime he was prosecuting. A rule/law like this for every level in government would almost stop the lies. Lets call it the SLAM law: Stop Lies in America More
Read the article and comment back on how we can clean our government up. It's all summed up in the last paragraph there.....
"What we do know is that government officials decided not to inform a lawfully constituted body, created by Congress and the president, to investigate one the greatest tragedies to confront this country. We call that obstruction."
I call it a terrible and destructive evil that is tearing our Government apart.

THE time is a mythical 1984 and the place London, the capital of that part of Oceania known as Airstrip One. Winston Smith (John Hurt) is 39, but he has the skinny, wizened look of a perpetually chilled, undernourished child, whose face is that of an old man. He lives alone in a drab one- room flat furnished with a cot, a table and a chair, all dominated by a giant television screen, which monitors him even as he is monitoring it.

Our current system is not working. Michael Moore hits another home run with his latest movie, SICKO. An absolute must see. Although I already downloaded this from the internet, I'm ordering my official copy today, to show my support for Michael Moore. Michael Moore is one of my heroes. I still can't believe Farenheight 911 didn't win an Academy Award. It was too real for people, so they had to focus on Michael's opinions presented in the movie and say, "see he's just biased!"
Focus on the facts?, oh no, let's focus on the movie makers opinion.

Six years after the September 11th, America finds itself at war in 2 countries, the treasury has been decimated, almost 3800 military servicemen and women have died, at least 27000+ have been wounded and there is no substantial resolution in the near future.
Back home in America, tens of thousands of 911 first responders are being diagnosed with cancers and serious respiratory ailments as a result of the environmental conditions at Ground Zero after being told by the EPA on September 18, 2001 that it was safe. Many of these first responders are now being denied medical benefits and many have already died. This story along with many other 911 related items goes largely unreported by the mainstream press.
Joining us in the studio this week will be two of the creators of the film Loose Change, Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas. We will discuss the upcoming release of Loose Change Final Cut due on November 11, 2007 and the recent anniversary events in NYC 2 weeks ago and finally where do we go from here.
The original version of Loose Change was released on the internet on April 13th, 2005. Since that time it has become an underground juggernaut that was been viewed by tens of millions around the world and is largely responsible for bringing the 911 Truth movement into the mainstream. This was followed by Loose Change 2nd Edition which included an updated timeline of the events of 911. Loose Change: Final Cut is the third and final release of the documentary, with new research, it will be substantially different in content and presentation, while remaining true to the spirit that has put Loose Change where it is today.
