<BR>9-11 and the Public Safety: Seeking Answers and Accountability <BR><BR>To
members of the press: <BR><BR>A international press conference and formal web
site launch for UnansweredQuestions.org will be held on Monday, June 10th from
2-5 PM at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. <BR><BR>The goal of this
unprecedented press event and public inquiry is to pose pointed, as yet
unanswered, questions regarding the failure of our national security
infrastructure, and the response that has sacrificed civil liberties and
rewarded failure as opposed to ensuring performance and guaranteeing freedoms,
now and in the future. <BR><BR>UnansweredQuestions.org is being launched by an
independent, non-partisan network of citizens concerned about the growing number
of issues surrounding September 11th that have yet to be addressed or resolved;
and their related public safety and Constitutional implications. Invited
panelists will offer statements, present well-documented research, and ask
incisive questions relative to these issues while addressing how citizens can
act now to ensure accountability from those in government directly responsible
for public safety and upholding the Constitution. <BR><BR>The conference will be
moderated by Catherine Austin Fitts, President of Solari and former Assistant
Secretary of Housing during the 1st Bush administration. <BR><BR>Confirmed
participants include: <BR><BR>1st Panel-- (approx. 45 min including Q&A)
<BR><BR>Julie Sweeney, wife of Brian Sweeney, killed on United Airlines flight
175 into South WTC tower Julie will present her case for a full and open
investigation. <BR><BR>Ryan Amundson, brother of Craig Amundson, killed at the
Pentagon; co-founder of Peaceful Tomorrows.org. (issue focus TBA)
<BR><BR>Derrill Bodley, also of Peaceful Tomorrows, lost his daughter Deora on
Flight 93 (issue focus TBA) <BR><BR>Lorna Brett, Director of Media Relations,
Nolan Law Group, representing 9/11 families on United Airlines hijacked planes.
(issue focus TBA) <BR><BR>Mary Schiavo, Esq., lawyer for 32 passengers' families
from all 9/11 hijacked planes, former Inspector General of the U.S. Department
of Transportation ('90-'96) and author of Flying Safe, Flying Blind. Ms. Schiavo
will speak to FAA accountability and Airline safety. <BR> <BR><BR>2nd
Panel-- (Approx. 1 hr.) <BR><BR>Michael Ruppert, Editor of From the Wilderness
Publications, investigative journalist; former Narcotics Officer, LAPD, will
provide historical and geo-strategic context to the War on Terror. He is
currently on a lecture tour in Canada, speaking to sold-out audiences, and
getting extensive press coverage. <BR><BR>John Judge <BR>Author, Judge for
Yourself and Co-founder, Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA), will
speak about the failure of US Air Defenses on September 11th. <BR><BR>Tom
Flocco, investigative journalist, will discuss highly unusual insider trading in
the trading days immediately preceding September 11th. <BR><BR>J. Michael
Springmann, veteran of 20 years of foreign service, posted at the Saudi Embassy
for a two years. Based on his experience there he will speak to "the CIA and
terrorism." <BR><BR>Dr. Steve Camarota, Director of Research; Center for
Immigration Studies; will address "Immigration and Terrorism." <BR><BR>Peter
Erlinder, Professor of Constitutional Law, William Mitchell College of Law will
discuss Constitutional issues relative to the Patriot Act. <BR><BR>Richard Ochs,
freelance writer and researcher, will present his research into the anthrax
attacks. <BR> <BR><BR>--Members of Congress have been invited to
participate in the third hour of the conference. <BR><BR>Organizers maintain
that it is the role of informed active citizens to insist upon standards of
performance from our public officials in regard to the events surrounding 9-11
and ongoing threats. Organizers are calling for a complete and public
investigation of the failures of government agencies (FBI, CIA, INS, FAA)
uncovered recently. This, they insist, requires a fuller disclosure of the
circumstances surrounding each case in order to effectively address documented
misappropriation (or lack of appropriation), incompetence, negligence and
possible corruption. Doing so will ultimately foster an intelligence and
national security apparatus that is effectively committed to the public safety
and a government worthy of trust, operating within the bounds of the US
Constitution, and fully accountable to the American people. <BR><BR>Members of
radio, television and print press are invited to attend. There will be ample
opportunity for questions and follow-up, and one-on-one interviews with the
panelists directly following the event. <BR><BR>Press kits available beginning
at 1:30PM outside Holeman Lounge, National Press Club
