Meacher allegations over September 11 'monstrous', says US. Snippet:
By Francis Elliott, Deputy Political Editor, Telegraph News (Filed: 07/09/2003)Is it really that horrible for one to think that Bush & Co. allowed 9-11? If Meacher's allegations are true, it is consistent with the behavior of the Bush Administration since Inauguration Day, 2001. There is more than enough evidence to support the SUSPICION that it is true. Left is Right just takes the next step and agrees that it IS true.
Michael Meacher, one of Tony Blair's longest serving ministers until earlier this year, sparked outrage yesterday by suggesting that the United States government deliberately allowed the terrorist attacks of September 11 to take place. Mr Meacher said the attacks, in which at least 3,000 people died, provided a convenient pretext for wars on Afghanistan and Iraq in which the real purpose was to secure oil supplies for America.
The former environment minister, who until three months ago shared responsibility for Britain's nuclear power plants, made the extraordinary claims in a newspaper article. Mr Meacher listed a number of reports detailing intelligence that the US was said to have which warned of the September 11 attacks. He questioned why military jets were not sent to intercept the hijacked passenger aircraft on the morning of the outrage two years ago. "Was this inaction simply the result of key people disregarding, or being ignorant of, the evidence? Or could US air security operations have been deliberately stood down on September 11? If so, why and on whose authority?" Mr Meacher wrote in The Guardian yesterday.
The MP for Oldham cited a document called Rebuilding America's Defences, written in September 2000 by a neo-conservative think tank, Project for the New American Century, which was set up by a group that included Dick Cheney, the American vice president, Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, and Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defence secretary, which he called "a blueprint for US world domination". He said the document stated that making America "tomorrow's dominant force" would be a long process without "some catalysing event - like a new Pearl Harbour".
