Release of CIA's Report on Failures of 9/11

We the people of the United States of America come together to petition our duly elected government officials regarding the following issue:

As reported in The Los Angeles Times dated October 19, 2004 (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-scheer19oct19,1,6762967.column?coll=la-util-op-ed) -- The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election. Because this report names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

According to an anonymous intelligence official, release of the report, which represents an exhaustive 17-month investigation by an 11-member team within the agency, has been "stalled." First by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin and now by Porter J. Goss.

This anonymous official stressed that the report was more blunt and more specific than the earlier bipartisan reports produced by the Bush-appointed Sept. 11 commission and Congress.

"What all the other reports on 9/11 did not do is point the finger at individuals, and give the how and what of their responsibility. This report does that," said the intelligence official. "The report found very senior-level officials responsible."

The stonewalling by the Bush administration and the failure of Congress to gain release of the report have, said the intelligence source, "led the management of the CIA to believe it can engage in a cover-up with impunity. Unless the public demands an accounting, the administration and CIA's leadership will have won and the nation will have lost."

We are demanding that Congress do the job that they were elected to do, SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! We are demanding that Congress use its power to compel the CIA to release their report on the failures of 9/11 to the public NOW!
