| Site Map IN HONOR OF OUR VETERANS, WE CALL FOR TRUTH | 
| Opinion/Editorial by Ashland Daily Tidings 
		
		High Times For High Crimes and 
		Misdemeanors, by Charles Carreon November 11, 2006 Anniversaries cause us to instinctively pause and reflect, just as our leg jolts forward after a well-positioned tap on the knee. In honor of our veterans — to whom we owe a debt we can never repay — the least we can do on this Veteran's Day is look back at the decisions made that sent our troops into battle, and the roles we played in those decisions. Perhaps upon reflection, our reaction may change. The fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 served as the reflex hammer touch to the knee of American conscience. As the country attended memorials and revisited painful memories of 9/11, the reflection also opened our collective mind once again to the many unanswered questions, legitimate concerns and conflicting evidence in the official description of those events. For us at the Daily Tidings the event served to open discussion among us about this complex subject, about the conspiracy theories that abound in Internet chats, blogs and so-called investigative reports and most importantly, the questions regarding the media's role in this ongoing issue. A month later we have found very little we all agreed on. We especially disagree on the role of the media. Since the Tidings doesn't cover New York City, Washington, D.C. or the federal government, the ambiguity is shaded with absolution. Nevertheless we are each members of the fourth estate, an essential conglomeration of individuals who adhere to professional guidelines, and who care passionately about this demanding and often thankless opus. With that membership — we can all agree on some level — comes a responsibility to giving the public the accurate information it needs to make informed decisions. Thus, somewhere in all the banter, we stumbled on one thing we at the Tidings' truly can agree on. Apparently, we are not alone. Based on the results of this hallmark 2006 election, the American people are finally asking for change. They don't like our involvement in Iraq. They voted out many members of the party that put us there. Perhaps they are also ready to question the events and decisions that put us there as well. Perhaps they are ready to ask what really happened on Sept. 11. We think so. And we call on our colleagues to join us in asking questions. Every single American daily newspaper must demand of our congressional leaders and those in the executive branch that an independent council be formed to completely and thoroughly investigate the deaths of nearly 3,000 American citizens in the attack of 9/11 — an attack that took place on American soil. Forget the conspiracy theories for a minute and set aside the political gamesmanship. We are a country that spent five years and $100 million investigating President Clinton. We probed the depths of the Iran-Contra scandal — a debacle that would have never come fully into the public eye had a special investigator not been appointed. This administration has spent far more energy and time seeking the leak of Valerie Plame's identity and Barry Bonds' use of steroids than it has in fully explaining how three skyscrapers crumbled in an instant and nearly 3,000 people were killed. While an independent investigation may never fully answer every question, it will help to heal the wounds of this nation and widespread distrust of our leaders this attack has caused. This historic tragedy ranks among the worst days in American history. We owe it to every American — but especially those who do battle on our behalf at the behest of our leaders — to spare no expense and allow no party loyalty to dissuade us. The government works for us. If it failed us, either in malfeasance or incompetence, then we must know that. If our current actions around the world are shaped by misinformation, we must know that too. Finally, if what we now believe to be true is only further proven, we would do well to hear the evidence that confirms it. If the government's version of the events of that day are absolutely true, then scrutiny will amplify that truth and lay to rest the skepticism that remains to this day. If, however, the questions that remain serve to shed light on new information, that too serves the public. And it is the responsibility of this trusted media industry to dig, probe, investigate and uncover the truth behind government events and decisions that impact the public. On this Veterans Day, we can do no less on behalf of the brave men and women who have been sent to the Middle East based upon rationale that stems directly from the events of 9/11. While we pay homage to all veterans of the Armed Forces today, we are reminded of our duty to watch closely those leaders in the White House and Congress who make the decisions to send our troops to war. We invite every single American daily newspaper to join us in our demand for an independent council to completely and thoroughly investigate the deaths of nearly 3,000 American citizens in the attacks of 9/11. America will be better informed, and this is our job. 
 
			Current Comments: 
			Yes, I agree completely, and thank you for your call. 
			If this line of questioning, if the fourth estate reclaiming its job 
			to be independent of political affiliations and corporate ownership, 
			is another result of Tuesday's election results, then there is much 
			to be hopeful for in this country again.  While this editorial doesn't explicitly endorse 
			the ludicrous conspiracy theories that 9/11 was an "inside job", it 
			at least panders to them. Give it a rest. We know what we need to 
			know about 9/11, Islamic militants staged a dasdardly attack on 
			America. The focus ought to be on the response.  Well said.  Thanks to the Daily Tidings for having the 
			integrity to call for a full investigation of the 9/11 events- 
			something that many 9/11 victim's family members, a growing number 
			of current/former government officials and other people with 
			reputations and standing in the community, and 45% of Americans are 
			calling for- and this despite endless propaganda from the media and 
			government that all the important questions have been settled. The 
			fact is, we don't know what happened, and we should.  Thanks for publishing this. I love my town!  I thoroughly agree. There are so many unanswered 
			questions about that day that leave many of us perplexed and 
			distressed. Heavily-reinforced steel buildings don't just evaporate 
			before our eyes without tremendous energy destroying them. Now, 
			whether that comes from fires, or from other means remains to be 
			conclusively proven. This begs the simple question. When have other 
			steel skyscrapers ever fallen due to fire before as the official 
			report claims? Many people did not hear of WTC7 (47 fl.  How can the following issues be explained?  That is good news. If we had an honest media and 
			an educated citizenry the official conspiracy theory would have been 
			exposed a long time ago.  I couldn't agree more. It's time for a real 
			investigation that deals with the real facts. An investigation that 
			looks at why in the history of the world no steel frame building has 
			ever collapsed from fire, but on 9/11 three separate buildings 
			collapse from fire and all were owned by Larry Silverstein. Why does 
			a building turn to dust so quickly after being purchased by 
			Silverstein? Coincidence? The time has come for us to get real!  At last! An american Newspaper voicing the 
			feelings of many millions. Much of the world is waiting for the 
			truth to come out, and the only way forward is to force a true 
			independent Investigation.  This is a historical event. The first newspaper to 
			show balls regarding 9/11.  The blanket of fear of this administration has 
			been torn asunder by this election. For the first time since 9/11/01 
			a media publication has placed the quest for truth and justice ahead 
			of journalist blather. It is those that resisit the need for 
			openness and accountability whose patriotism should be questioned. 
			Lies flourish in the darkness, but can't survive the light of truth. 
			This election is clarion call to restore the light of liberty.  While it's true that we don't know what happened 
			on 9/11, we do know what didn't happen. A non-biased inspection of 
			evidence already in the public domain shows that the government's 
			myth about 9/11 doesn't match the facts. Breaking the spell around 
			this topic is the hard part. So thank you to the Daily Tidings for 
			having the courage to call for an investigation. Once you are able 
			to look at this dispassionately for yourself, seeing that the facts 
			don't match the story is the easy part.  Thank you for your thoughtful and well-reasoned 
			comments on the need for a new, independent investigation of the 
			events of 9/11. The struggle within your ranks - a struggle each of 
			us experiences as we try to come to terms with thought that our 
			government could have been compicit - gives courage to those who are 
			afraid to approach this life-changing understanding. You have 
			enabled people to study and evaluate the available information with 
			the knowledge that others have struggled similarly.  In America, one is innocent until proven guilty. 
			There is ample evidence to suggest that elements within our 
			Government were complicit in the attacks. Let's have a new 
			investigation, and see if anyone is guilty of those allegations. One 
			can not ignore the obvious cover ups regarding the attacks of 9/11, 
			and the United States Government. Why is it acceptable that they 
			even HAVE cover-ups regarding the attacks of 9/11? It's time to 
			learn the truth, and hold those responsible, accountable.  
 I agree. We must reexamine the events of 9/11. 
			There are many unanswered questions, especially how WTC Towers 1, 2, 
			& Building 7 which was not hit by a plane, all came down in a 
			controlled demolition fashion. For those who wish to look into this 
			line of argument, I recommend watching 911 Mysteries on Google video 
			or Loose Change which counters the official narrative. We owe it to 
			those who perished that day and in the subsequent wars on both 
			sides. It is our patriotic duty to question authority.  As a former resident of Ashland, I must say that 
			I`m proud to have lived in such a progressive place. I saw your call 
			to further investigate 9/11 on the MSN internet group Big Daddys 
			Cafe, on which we have been discussing this matter for the last 5 
			yrs., and have been extremely disappointed that there has not been a 
			peep out of the timid MSM about this, the most important issue of 
			our time. Please keep up the good work in persuing the truth, we`re 
			counting on you. Please join our group. Bless you  "We know what we need to know about 9/11, Islamic 
			militants staged a dasdardly attack on America.  Thanks for putting this out there. The gov't line 
			is utterly bogus. We know they trained whatever "hijackers" there 
			actually were down in Florida on those cruise ships! An inside job, 
			like OKC and on and on.  See the Forum topic by the same name at  I watched a special on CNN about soldier named 
			Mock. He seemed like a really good kid. Unfortunately he was killed 
			on his 2nd (or perhaps 3rd) tour of duty. He had "Strength and 
			Honor" tattooed on each arm. I cried. I cried because he was just 
			another sacrifice by his own government. I cried because he had more 
			strength and honor than our Command and Chief and our media.  Thank you for your willingness to state the 
			obvious. A recent poll showed that 45% of Americans believe there 
			has been a cover-up of the facts around 9/11. If that isn't enough 
			to indicate that our media should support a genuine investigation, 
			what percent would be?  There is integrity in looking for truth. Thank you 
			for being the first to call for all newspapers to begin the quest 
			for the accurate and overdue truth of 9/11.  The so called "9/11 Truth Movement" is itself not 
			interested in the truth. They support people who didn't do any 9/11 
			research by themselves, they censor (911blogger.com), they ignore 
			the fact of leftgatekeepers (neocrat baker coalition, anti-war 
			leaders etc..) and they ignore the strong evidence on 9/11 TV 
			Fakery.  It is inconceivable that anyone would disagree 
			with what have written here. Thank you for making this request. 
			Hopefully other newspapers will join you as they should. Actually 
			this is not a should, it is a must!  Thank you for your courage - keep on pushing - 
			walls can fall  We also need our fellow citizens to become OUR 
			GOVERNMENT...run for office yourself...more info here

			 If you are skeptical about what happened on 9/11 
			please watch this !  I'd have to agree. I hope an independent 
			investigation is done. I highly doubt we've been told the whole 
			truth about what happened.  yes most of the world believes the US government 
			was involved in the attacks.  Thank you for running this story. I hope many join 
			your call around the world and in the states!  No matter what side of the argument about a 
			conspiracy you are on there is no denying the inadequacy of the 
			investigation done. A new investigation should be done. Even if it's 
			just to question the government. Which people seem to forget is job 
			of a true patriot. Only sheep follow blindly.  Thank you for the courage to print this type of 
			editorial. There are so many reasons that the govt's official 911 
			story is woefully inadequate at best, and a complete cover-up of a 
			despicable and evil event perpetrated by agents as yet unrevealed at 
			its worst. If the pro-govt version people are so sure, how about a 
			properly funded investigation with subpaeona powers and without a 
			predetermined conclusion to truly get to the bottom of this, after 
			all, only $20 million was spent on the original.  5 years after 911 we now have a massive body of 
			evidence that 911 was an inside job...yet no one in positions of 
			authority wants to deal with that reality. Denial pervades the 
			American society just as it pervades the life of an addict. 
			Confronting reality means taking action and making changes. Addicts 
			don't usually address their problem until it ruins their lives and 
			Americans won't deal with 911 and the dark power structure behind it 
			until America is in ruins. There were multiple layers and subplots 
			connected to 911 - a web of conspiratorial activities and agendas, 
			intertwined with the national and global power structure. The 
			Internet indie media is the source of free, uncompromised  I commend you on being responsible enough to 
			finally print the truth. Anyone who thinks 9/11 was a master plan of 
			19 islamic militants with a leader who needs dialysis 3 times a week 
			and is hiding with his dialysis machine in remote caves of the 
			middle east is obviously a sheep following the rest of the 
			uninformed herd. Get real people and lets start to heal our wounds 
			of mistrust. PEACE!  Our government was definitely involved in the 
			attacks of 9/11/01 and they have been covering it up ever since. The 
			people who benefited most from 9/11 are the people who were supposed 
			to protect us on 9/11 and didn't. Buildings do not collapse at 
			free-fall speed without explosives. Evidence has been destroyed by 
			our government. Stories have been changed. And the real terrorists 
			who did this to us now have the power to torture us and hold us 
			without charges or a trial.  I think that you have taken a very courageous and 
			enlightened position on this matter. I hope that other periodicals 
			will follow your lead is raising an issue that is of great concern 
			to Americans, and, at least in my opinion, has not been explored in 
			sufficient detail in the major organs that shape political 
			discourse, such as Sunday Talk shows, or on editorial pages such as 
			yours. Thank you again for taking a leadership role on this issue.
			 Finally, A US newspaper is calling for a proper 
			investigation into the mystery's of 9/11. As the families point out 
			on the film '9/11 press for truth' (See. Google Video), the 9/11 
			commission report turned out to be a complete and one-sided 
			whitewash. Including no mention of Building 7 and a cover up of the 
			money trail involving the wiring of $100,000 by the head of 
			Pakistan's ISI, Gen Mahmoud Ahmad to Mohammed Atta. Lets just hope a 
			full, transparent & independent investigation transpires. Tnx  Thank you for having the integrity to call for a 
			full investigation 9/11. I hope other newspapers will follow. We 
			have been lied to one to many times, the truth must come out.  Lies and deception have been the mode of operation 
			of the Bush administration. This has occurred because we have not 
			challenged them and the media has covered for them. The extent of 
			the corruption is far deeper that most working Americans can 
			comprehend. There is overwhelming, objective evidence of a huge 911 
			deception. It's time for the truth.  Thank you, ADT editors, for your courage.  Isn't really time to move on? To move forward? 
			Let's embrace the change this past election, come together as a 
			nation and find common ground in our efforts to make this nation 
			great.  The United States government has committed many 
			false flags over the years. And planned some not carried out. Why 
			would anyone argue against a free and independent inquiry regarding 
			the most heinous example perpetrated upon the citizens of the U.S.? 
			Only if they had something to hide regarding 9/11, a false flag 
			operation that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of innocent 
			deaths in the cause of hegemonic empire. Only the truth can heal. 
			And stop the murder.  With the Democrats in the majority of both Houses, 
			I believe the subpoenas will be flying regarding not only the 
			Intelligence Reports being manipulated or worse as a pretext for 
			invading Iraq; but also the awarding of no-bid contracts to 
			Halliburton and others. As far as some sort of conspiracy regarding 
			the collapsing of the Towers, that has more to do with their unique 
			construction with no center supports, to allow open floor plans, not 
			preplaced timed explosions. How could that remain secret?  Thanks for an excellent editorial. I'm from New 
			York, and was there on 9/11 - it felt like my city was being 
			destroyed. After months of investigation I've found the "conspiracy 
			theories" much more credible than the government's explanation. An 
			honest investigation is clearly needed.  The 9/11 Commission's final report contains 
			numerous provable lies: outright lies, lies by omission, and lies by 
			distortion. As such, this "testimony" to the American people, which 
			was purported to be a full accounting of the events of 9/11, 
			indicates a massive fraud and coverup, as well as perjury. A new 
			investigation is indeed warranted. We CAN handle the truth. We are 
			Americans.  As a non-US student of 9/11, I want to thank you 
			for your courageous action call.  Well said Jomama. These traitors should all be put 
			in prison camps. How dare anyone question our predident or 
			government. They have to do what they have to do to keep us safe 
			from evil terrorists like those Iranians. Thank god they voted for 
			democrats who will continue the policy of ridding of terrorists. I 
			am glad they are going to work with Bush and not try to impeach 
			everybody. Sometimes you have to give up liberty for freedom. God 
			bless America.  Thank you very much for this editorial. There are 
			too many unanswered questions about 9/11 and too many self-serving 
			ways in which it seems to have been exploited by the Bush 
			Administration.  better late than never ?  Can already hear the rumble of Jewish dominated 
			Banking and Media quelching any uprisings.  Our new Canadian government lead by Stephen Harper 
			is following in the footsteps of the Bush Administration and the now 
			discredited neo-cons, who used 9/11 as a reason for all of their 
			actions.  Gratitude to the Ashland Daily Tidings for its 
			courage in speaking in the true American way. Uncomfortable truths 
			may prompt the lazy to defend a mainstream ignoring of the obvious. 
			True patriots of country, and more importantly, humanity, are 
			willing to take the flak, the stress, and the patience required to 
			get to the truth that benefits all. Hopefully, your editorial will 
			assist in an investigation that holds everyone accountable. Many 
			thanks for your consideration.  I appreciate your courage! The so-called 
			independent 9/11 commission was a farce! We most definitely need a 
			truly independent investigation that does not assume what caused the 
			events of 9/11 before the investigation has even begun.  No, this editorial doesn't "pander to ludicrous 
			conspiracy theories." It simply brings up legitimate, critical 
			questions and asks for a more complete and honest explanation of one 
			the most important events in US history. If you have a problem with 
			that, I'd have to call you un-American and undemocratic.  Yes, you are 100% correct in all phases of your 
			proclamation. Please, please, please, with your power comes great 
			responsibility and you must exercise it by spearheading the movement 
			within the media to reveal what really happened on 9/11. Our nation 
			and the American way of life as we know it depends on it. You know 
			it, I know it, and the powers that be want to hide it. The American 
			Free press is the last bastion that we have to reveal the truth. The 
			pen is mightier than the sword. God Bless  We have to be very careful what we wish for here. 
			Remember the outcome of SS solidiers tried for the murder of 
			American prisoners at Malmedy in the Ardennes. In subsequent appeals 
			and the politicization of the inquiries by Joe McCarthy, all the 
			defendants sentenced to hang eventually walked free. It took unknown 
			vigilantes many years later to exact revenge on the SS officer 
			responsible. We should not let any inquiry become politicized just 
			because the WTC attack occurred on the Republicans watch  Re: JoMama- Giving IT a rest is exactly why we are 
			in Iraq. NO? LIES one and all...WMD's, Ties to al-Qaeda, Bio/Chem 
			weapons, Nuclear weapons, and, AND(!) Bush's favorite, 9-1-1. 
			LIES!!!  As long as we allow criminals to lead our military 
			and government we are destined for fascism. A new investigation is 
			warranted and the people demand it!  THANK YOU! Its nice to see some mainstream press 
			actually make a call to investigate 9/11.  The vote count was not yet complete when the Right 
			was calling nervously for "and end to partisanship" in order to 
			prevent investigations. The US is defined by a Constitution that has 
			been sullied in ways many Americans thought impossible. If what the 
			Bush Administration has done can go unscrutinized it will be a 
			message to future illicit power that it can do as it wishes.  Finally we have an Editor who has the guts to ask 
			for a re-investigation of the events of 9/11. Thank you. If nothing 
			else, we owe it to the families who lost their loved ones on that 
			awful day, (and were and still are) deeply dissatisfied with the 
			9/11 Commission Report. We shall see if Henry Waxman and the 
			Democrats are brave patriots or talking head politicians.  "The focus ought to be on the response."  It's nice to see a piece like this. Hopefully the 
			people will ask for an independent investigation on 9/11 so that 
			those like JoMama from Seattle can finally learn that 9/11 was an 
			inside job, and stop making racist remarks about Muslims like an 
			ignorant idiot/jackass. If you wish to learn more about 9/11 and 
			false flag terrorism go to Google Video and watch "Terrorstorm", 
			"Loose Change 2nd Edition", "9/11- Mysteries", and 9/11 The Myth and 
			Realities" for free.  JoMama is a nutjob, if you're so sure please claim 
			your easy $1 million from James Walter by "proving" the official 
			story is the truth.  It is long past time to independently investigate 
			the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Given Dr. Jones's recent 
			discovery of thermate explosive residue at ground zero, the 
			inexplicable lack of a central core at WTC North & WTC South, the 
			insider trading on Wall Street the morning of, the shameless 
			profiteering of Larry Silverstein planned months ahead of the 
			attack, and the obvious coverup after the fact - all these things 
			and more point to 911 being an inside job.  The fact that whether or not 9/11 should be 
			independantly investigated is even a question is the best reason to 
			do it. Similarly, the fact that some people are even talking about 
			impeaching bush should be enough to start the wheels turning. Anyone 
			who tries to say any of this is a waste of time would have been the 
			perfect type of person to support Hitler's reign. Patriotism isn't 
			about following blindly your leaders into the gates of hell itself.
			 Finally! A newspaper editorial with enough courage 
			to at least call for an honest investigation into what really 
			happened on 9-11-01. Yours might be a small newspaper, but everyone 
			in the USA should read it and support you and maybe the rest of our 
			newspapers will awaken also. The Daily Tidings has done a good job 
			here. We need the truth to begin the healing of America.  Thanks. An unbiased investigation of 9/11 is long 
			overdue, in my opinion.  Sure. A man with a beard in a cave in Afghanistan 
			did it. Wohohooho. And 19 non-existent muslim hijackers carried it 
			out. Not Saudi or Iranian but evil Muslims. America is MAD.  there's lots of morons who still think that 
			islamics provoked the 9/11.........  Before throwing around the term "conspiracy" 
			define the term! Political parties are conspiracies among like 
			minded special interests to control the government & use it to 
			enrich themselves & their cronies. Corporations are business 
			conspiracies to convert raw materials & labor into marketable 
			products. The "official" explanation provided by our current gov't. 
			of how 3 steel & concrete buildings were reduced to DUST is itself a 
			'conspiracy theory' which has YET to be proven.  Anyone who has taken the time to study the 
			multitude of unanswered questions knows we dont know what we need to 
			know. Amen to a unbiased and independent investigation, and thank 
			you Ashland Daily Tidings for suggesting just that.  Thanks for the great editorial. One can only hope 
			the corporate media will grow a spine and take notice; I won't hold 
			my breath. It will take grassroots activism to reveal the truth of 
			the horrific events of 9/11. The 9/11 Commission was infinitely 
			worse than Warren's. True Patriots want the truth; the sheep of the 
			country, represented by the likes of JoMama from Seattle, are 
			cowards who would rather bury their head than face the reality that 
			things just aren't right in Kansas. www.st911.0rg  Never have believed that anything but explosives 
			brought down all three buildings on 9/11 and that tiny hole in the 
			pentagon wall before it collapsed was nowhere near big enough for a 
			757 to go thru nor was the fire damage enough. Govt has lied & 
			covered up facts since at least 1913, the present administration has 
			little credibility, shame, respect for Constitution or human dignity 
			& legalizes torture! We need freedom not safety, representation not 
			"leadership", bravery not fear, truth not lies.  Thank you from eastern Canada. 9/11, if left 
			unaddressed and unresolved, has the very real potential to destroy 
			your country and all it stands for. It'll happen like fog rolling in 
			on a winter afternoon. There will be no dawn.  You wingnuts should stick to flying saucers and 
			big foot. We were <i>ATTACKED</i>!!!  Look, the traditional fourth estate is now being 
			held captive by the mega-corporations, which have absolutely no 
			interest in the truth about this becoming public. Now is the time to 
			embrace the NEW fourth estate, the dedicated and honestly concerned 
			contributors to internet forums, such as this. Ya know, Power to the 
			People! Blog on, Pilgrims!  Thank you for your thoughtful editorial. There are 
			many investigations that need to happen. Any Congressional committee 
			with subpoena powers should require Administration officials to 
			testify under oath on issues as wide-ranging as energy policy 
			negotiations, the 9/11 events, domestic spying, and the decisions 
			that led to the authorization of torture and secret prisons.  Only those who fear the truth could possibly 
			disagree with you. In fact, the best way to thoroughly crush the 
			conspiracy theorist movement is to fully and unblinkingly 
			investigate what really happened, then publish the results for all 
			to see. No "trust us" conclusions. No "could not have happened 
			because" speculation. Just the whole, unvarnished truth.  I agree 100%! Let's investigate and go from there.
			 3 days before 9/11 jeb bush declared martial law 
			in florida  Dear Daily Tidings,  Given the facts, the whole thing has been one big, 
			outrageous lie. 911 and the crude actions of the Neo-Conservative 
			mafia, with it's bloody occupation of fallen nations in the "New" 
			Middle East and fear games thrown around in the media pool ,should 
			force everyone to question the true meaning of it all. Politicians 
			should not believe that they are untouchable god fathers living in 
			tax free castles, for they must be held accountable as every other 
			citizen living within a nation of laws and order  You should check out Terrorstorm and Loosechange 
			Second edition, and 911 Myths cause they show that we really do need 
			an independent investigation!  Thank you for this article demanding the 911 
			Truth.  Folks who suggest "We know all we need know about 
			this infamous day and subsequently dismal investigation" seem to 
			lack the ability of approaching complex circumstances with critical 
			thought - a common 'fox-newish' type of problem. Thank you for this 
			editorial!  Thank you - all success to your efforts.  I live in a suburb of Washington DC, 10 miles from 
			the Pentagon. I can't tell you how frightening it was to be here on 
			9/11. I can tell you that the American people DO NOT know what 
			really happened. I can tell you that the investigation was a 
			whitewash. I can tell you that we deserve, and I am demanding, a 
			real investigation be conducted. We deserve the truth and we can 
			handle it. Thank you for your editorial. I hope the other papers 
			will be brave enough and patriotic enough to join you.  Daily Tidings, you are the Vanguard. Step by step, 
			facing criticism, anger and ridicule, other publications will follow 
			suit, and eventually echo your call for a full 911 Investigation. 
			Uncovering a coverup will become the norm. Thank you for setting a 
			standard.  This admin never allowed a REAL inquiry, with 
			completely public transparency, because they know it won't stand up 
			to legal scrutiny.  Can we please try and not tow the party line....it 
			was NOT 3000 AMERICANS who died on 9/11, they were from many 
			nationalities .... Jesus, if you repeat a lie often enough people 
			really believe it don't they?  We can't afford not to know what happened on 911. 
			The belief that we were attacked by foreigners on our own soil has 
			driven us to a state of fear that has facilitated taking away our 
			freedoms, causing us to support invading two countries and costing 
			the lives of thousands of our young people and hundreds of thousands 
			of Iraqis. And our government can not even provide proof that it was 
			foreigners who caused the 911 tragedy. Time to know what really 
			happened!  Finally, a Independent investigation into the 
			events on 9 11.....may it lift our eyes to the truths, and lay rest 
			to the non truths....  Conspiracies are ubiquitous. Everyone is in 
			agreement that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy. But those who are 
			genuinely knowledgeable and care about the truth reject fallacious 
			conspiracy theories, such as the U.S. government's lying, 
			self-serving, and provably false official fairy tale conspiracy 
			theory concerning the 9/11 attacks.  Thank you for your courageous call for an 
			independant investigation on the events of 9/11. If there is any 
			chance, and I think there is, of foul play which we no nothing of 
			then we need badly to know more.  Congratulations, on being the first (known) public 
			newspaper to question the official 9/11 story and ask for a thorough 
			independent investigation. Mayor Giulliani's order to remove 
			evidence from the crime scene before examination by the proper 
			authorities was a federal offense!  You are on the right side of history.  Thank you so much for having the courage to call 
			for an investigation of this sort. Too many unanswered questions 
			remain and impact daily on the lives of people all over the planet.
			 I appreciate your demand for a real investigation 
			of the events of Sept. 11, 2001. We do know that originally the 
			government lied about the air quality- a health catastrophe 
			followed. They limited the investigation, destroyed evidence, and 
			lied about what happened, using the event to pursue an imperial 
			agenda. Most recently, physicist Steven E. Jones has found 
			scientific evidence that the buildings were brought down using 
			thermite. We need the press to get out the critical facts. about 
			9-11.  Watch the google video 911 Mysteries and then if 
			you don't think 911 was an inside job, you are incapable of 
			independent thought and reason. Sad that so many are so easily 
			deceived.  Ask why the disgraceful, disgusting, despicable 
			being who, when informed that "America is under attack," just sat 
			there stone faced for seven minutes reading to a classroom filled 
			with children. Ask why he wasn't pulled away by Secret Service 
			agents who did not seem at all concerned about the safety of this 
			man. Ask his brother and his cousin who were in charge of Twin 
			Towers security, why there was a scheduled power shutdown during a 
			weekend just prior to 9/11. Make them answer under oath.  Bravo to an American Newspaper that isn't on it's 
			knees in front of Corporate America. The truth has obviously been 
			withheld to the citizens on the events of 9/11. We have limited time 
			to act here before the next war is launched by the guys in charge 
			that are trying to cover their tracks. I don't know what actually 
			happened but any idiot can investigate enough to know the official 
			story is a lie.  According to an MSNBC poll 87% of Americans now 
			want impeachment proceedings, but the call is being explicitly 
			ignored.  We are so proud to be Ashlanders and part of the 
			9/11 Truth Committee! Thank you Daily Tidings for taking us out of 
			the "conspiracy theorists " category. You just made history.  Daily Tidings - Thank you for your true patriotism 
			in facing the "elephant in the room" ie that the official 
			"conspiracy" theory just doesn't make any sense. We need more 
			mainstream media upholding their constitutional role in bringing the 
			truth out and demanding a real investigation. As Professor Jones 
			says "the truth will set you free". We need more truth in our world 
			in order to hold those responsible for these crimes, stop the 
			illegal wars and promote peace instead. The sooner the better!  There are types of Americans. Those who still 
			believe the official story and those who have spent three minutes 
			looking into the collapse of World Trade Center Building #7.  Thank you for your substantial courage, our 
			nation's first daily paper to call for a major inquiry into 9/11. 
			Millions of us are realizing that the official story makes no sense 
			except as a cover-up. Katrina taught us that the federal response to 
			disaster is incompetent, yet all the answers were conveniently in 
			place within very few hours. We must answer the harrowing questions 
			that remain. We owe the truth to those who died, and to those dying 
			every day since, from our nation's violent response  The Chill is gone!  The number of comments in favor of you editorial 
			should give us some indication of the justifiable concern of all 
			truly patriotic Americans. Only the guilty fear the truth.  It makes me happy every time I see progress toward 
			9/11 truth. Thank you.  I wonder what leftist / socialist rag reprinted 
			this editorial? The number of responses is way out of line even for 
			this conspiracy happy metropolis. Perhaps you want to increase your 
			circulation base?  I am heartened at long last.The election did 
			little to sway the deep feeling of dread in my heart, but today 
			there is light. THANK YOU ASHLAND!!! I knew I preferred this state 
			to my own for a million reasons, all of them politics, and now this 
			town is my new favorite. Please o please let the rest of the country 
			wake up and follow suit. P.S. EVERYONE: Read Tarpley's '9/11 
			Synthetic Terror: Made in the U.S.' PLUS Palast's 'Armed Madhouse', 
			PLUS Madsen's 'Jaded Tasks'.  100%Sure that 9/11 was an inside job. Respect for 
			Daily Tidings for placing this article.  I have to say with all of the growing interest in 
			911, I finally broke down to check out what all the crazies have 
			been screaming about for the last five years. It seems the more I've 
			looked, the more I realize that it's absolutely true, the government 
			is not being straight with the American public. I don't have a 
			theory, so I guess you cannot say I'm a conspiracy theorist. But I 
			do have a lot of questions which beyond a doubt demand answers. 
			Thanks for the honest reporting.  Conspiracy Theorist: a term that has been 
			carefully indoctrinated into mainstream thought by the government 
			and corporate media, since the JFK assassination, to mean crazy, 
			nutty, and definitely not to be believed. Make no mistake ... it is 
			a tool of the propagandist to discourage intelligent dissent.  well so far 104 comments and only TWO Reich Wing 
			nutbag responses from those totally ignorant of the facts (JoMama & 
			True American) and one embarrassment (Nico Haupt).  This is incredible. Ashland's citizens are very 
			lucky to have a newspaper whose editors are willing to uncover the 
			truth behind government spin. Now that Democrats hold the House and 
			the Senate, we can finally have real oversight hearings about the 
			nightmare that was 9/11.  Bravo. I hope you have shamed the rest of 
			mainstream media into being equally noble and high-minded. Bravo.
			 So, let me get this straight: Bush persuaded bin 
			Laden to take credit for the attacks? And even if supposed 
			explosives were set-off causing the towers' collapse, why would they 
			have been set by the U.S. and not, say, bin Laden? I mean, he is the 
			only person who's done it before. It's also unlikely that the U.S. 
			could persuade muslim men to fly a plane to certain death, seeing as 
			how it wouldn't be in the name of Islam (we know that the plane in 
			PA was flown by arab men). See Ockham's razor...  To Not Convinced  Bravo!  Wow: Thank you for your integrity! The truth will 
			come out if we had more journalism like this.Remember the biggest 
			conspiracy theory of all is the governments official account of 
			9/11.  thankyou for the truth. I commend the bravery of 
			your newspaper, and the fine group of people working over yonder  Thank you Daily Tidings for a call for truth and 
			transparency, the foundation of true bipartisanship. At the very 
			least, there needs to be a new investigation. Only this will handle 
			the unanswered questions and unquestioned answers.  It just about blows my mind that, despite the 
			mountain of evidence suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job, people 
			still believe the official lie.  To all who still believe in what the government 
			said, go to the FBI site at
			
			http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm . There is 
			no mention that Bin Laden is wanted for 9/11. Not one word. When the 
			FBI director was asked why, he said "We have no evidence to link Bin 
			Laden to 9/11". What? The "evidence" is good enough to go to wars 
			but not good enough to go to court? This proves the "war on terror" 
			is a huge fraud and actually a war on our freedom!!  yes, yes, yes. .... finally the damn is starting 
			to leak. hopefully more papers will follow. can't add much to all 
			this except to say to "not convinced" above me here that ockham's 
			razor does, in fact, fit the 9/11 scenario to a "t". the only 
			problem for you is that you think that the government's lame 
			explanations make more sense than good old common sense. when 
			applying this principle to any situation, you have to have all the 
			facts. i suggest you look a little closer.  Unbelievable! I feel like Alice reading the paper 
			from Wonderland (aka Ashland), where facts are fiction, and truths 
			are conspiracy. BUT, I must be in the minority, because the Queen of 
			Hearts has been elected to put on trial the Brave Knight Bush.  THANK YOU FOR THIS! It is PATRIOTIC to want to 
			find out who attacked our country. I have a lot of questions, but 
			one that stands out is this: where did all that molten steel come 
			from? I think it's pretty obvious it came from cutting charges 
			slicing through steel beams. See for yourself: just watch 9/11 
			Mysteries: Demolitions on Google Videos ( video.google.com )  Well we finally have somebody that is not a sold 
			out puppet slave to the New World Order powers. They have murdered 
			not only 3000 American citizens; and about 600,000 Iraquis and 
			Afghans and about 6000 American soldiers. But in the near future; it 
			will be the NWO who will put those of us who won't accept their 
			beast chip spoken of in Revelation 13:18 into prisons as we will 
			become end time martyrs. But God will avenge us greatly!  BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO....... At last someone in the 
			press has the guts to question the lies that have been accepted as 
			truth! In the spirit of "All The Presidents Men", you are but the 
			first to stand tall, to stand proud.... to be an American! Thanks!
			 Some of us have been waiting years for this. Thank 
			you.  Bin Laden has in fact emphatically claimed 
			responsibility for 9/11. Eggen, Dan, "Bin Laden, Most Wanted For 
			Embassy Bombings?", The Washington Post, August 28, 2006. "Osama 
			claims responsibility for 9/11", The Times of India, May 24, 2006. 
			"Bin Laden claims responsibility for 9/11", CBC News, October 29, 
			2004.  God bless this article! The Ashland Daily Tidings 
			has journalistic integrity! Bravo! *Put's Ashland Daily Tidings in 
			Favorites*  I'm glad someone in the media finally said what 
			most of us are thinking. Just get some independent people to look 
			into what really happened on 9/11 and quit feeding us manufactured 
			spin. Great article  Submarine torpedoman Tom Brown, SS486, Pomadon, 
			1969 reporting for duty Sir! Thanks for your editorial on 9/11. Some 
			of us are not satisfied with the Republican whitewash on the attack 
			on America. We appreciate those like yourselves that can put it on 
			the line. Jesus says that your sacrifice is not in vain.  Thank you so much for this article. Research 9/11 
			and you are left with one conclusion after looking at the mountain 
			of facts and Gov't lies, 9/11 was an Inside Job. We need the media's 
			help to get the truth out and hold those responsible accountable for 
			their evil actions. Problem is after prosecuting those involved we 
			may not have much of a Fed gov't left. This of course is by design 
			which makes it very difficult to ever get MSM to cover these 
			stories. The age of Ethics is upon us all. Wake up  Respect for your publishing this editorial.  It is heartening to see such unanimous support for 
			this editorial. The MSM is far behind the public in their outcry for 
			truth, and have fallen well short of their collective 
			responsibility.  HEAR, HEAR!! What company are you owned by? 
			Obviously one with dignity. A $50-100 million dollar investigation 
			with a truly, TRULY independent panel would serve to lay to rest, or 
			find out the truth of the events of that day. The American people 
			can only gain, so much, from such an investigation. There are still 
			too many questions unanswered. The families of those who died are 
			still unsatisfied with their understanding. The American people 
			demand real answers and truth.  Congratulations! As one who's been waiting 3 years 
			for 9/11 truth to come out to the mainstream media and people, I 
			can't wait for the indictments. Impeach the terrorists!  SALUTE!! Real independent journalism for a breathe 
			of real news! Our world in being destroyed by the corruption of our 
			leaders.  Kudos to the Tidings for having the integrity to 
			challenge the rest of mainstream media to rise to their level. In a 
			time where newspapers endorse political candidates, it's nice to see 
			a call to action that is about finding a non-partisan answer. The 
			truth will set us all free.  As a father, I appreciate the effort and courage 
			to print something like this so I may be able to teach my children 
			the truth, as a Veteran I salute you and your valiant effort to 
			bring the truth to the American people. I appreciate you helping me 
			protect our rights as Americans. Please be tireless as I will be in 
			shouting this necessary message to the masses and increase awareness 
			about Government dealings and corporate connections to "elected" 
			officials. Your honor, courage are appreciated!  Finally! There are very few independent newspapers 
			left in this country. God Bless this one for taking a stand, may the 
			rest follow suit and wake this country up!  Another idiot on the loose. I quit this rag years 
			ago for their lack of professional journalism.  Count out our unit of measure, the second. One 
			thousand one...one thousand two, you know the drill. Now imagine the 
			"pancake collapse" of a single Manhattan skyscraper floor; in one of 
			those seconds. Seems like too short of a time, huh? 110 stories 
			taking 110 seconds would not defy Newtons freefall speed law, would 
			it? Now imagine 1/2 a second per floor. 55 seconds.  It would be nice if the article pointed out the 
			ways in which the first 9/11 Commission was not "thorough or 
			complete" enough. Does the author want different methods, or 
			different conclusions? And which methods should be changed?  The truth about 9/11 is only a small piece of the 
			puzzle...  "The government was involved in 9/11!" There ... I 
			said it! Did not believe it at first...I'm very skeptical...but 
			damn! Could they have left any more bread crumbs! All respect goes 
			to Ashland Daily Tidings and any other media outlet willing to risk 
			everything! Thank you.  If a gas fire melts steel, then everytime you 
			light up your gas grill or barbeque grill, shouldn't it collapse and 
			fall apart?  There are many reasonable, unanswered questions 
			about the 9/11 tradegy and I question the loyalty of anyone who 
			stops a real and honest investigation. Bush is not king (yet) and 
			the Republican Party is not ordained as our saviors, at least not in 
			my Bible.  I wouldn't say Ashland is a major newspaper but 
			i'm praying this will be a catalyst for other papers to follow suit.
			 Wow! A real newspaper? This is long overdue, 
			congratulations on showing the "major" papers what they should be 
			doing.  For the record: nobody claims that the towers fell 
			at free-fall, which would be about 8 seconds; rather, the times were 
			11 and 9 seconds for towers 1 and 2, respectively. (Popular 
			Mechanics had it at 12.) The structure was meant to hold the 
			momentum of (falling floors' weight), and ended up facing (falling 
			floors' weight x velocity squared). That the towers fell close to 
			gravitational velocity is not unusual (you can try the same 
			experiment yourself with a deck of cards -- try it!)  One only has to watch and listen to videos of the 
			network reporters and the eye witnesses at the scene to be convinced 
			that there were explosions. Explosions which have never been fully 
			addressed on mainstream news channels or any of the three official 
			reports. Great article. I'm feeling less depressed knowing that 
			there are others who feel as I do. The government belongs to the 
			people. Show the world that we once were lost but now we're found. 
			We're a great nation built on principles.  Truth has never been a steady variable. It always 
			varies from person to person. I think if the truth were suddenly 
			thrust upon our war veterans honor would instantly disappear. Stay 
			asleep, never seek the truth, enjoy the reality that you think 
			exists, and enjoy the status you have made for yourself. The truth 
			will only lead to a world you do not want to live within.  The comments made by JoMama, True American, etc. 
			are a disgrace to my intelligence. Anyone with a shred of common 
			sense and conventional wisdom can easily see that the 9/11 
			Commission Report is little more than a token attempt to appease the 
			citizens and fails to address the most important questions. It is 
			indeed time for a truly independent investigation; one whose 
			leadership is not riddled with conflicts of interest.  At last this is what i wanted for over 2 years to 
			happen it's the most civilized manner to deal with the tragedy that 
			has come in to our world for the last 5 years keep up the spirit and 
			hope it will al have a place history where all will end in a 
			peaceful way from where the world community can go forward together.
			 I join your call for all daily newspapers to 
			insist that there be a full-scale, independent investigation into 
			the cause of 9/11. An independent, international investigative 
			inquiry should be authorized and funded by Congress. There are two 
			many unanswered questions, and the official story just doesn't hold 
			up.  Bronstein, owner of one of San Francisco's most 
			dominant newspapers, will never question 911, as that name Bronstein 
			aka Trotsky, led slaughters of over 20 million White Christians in 
			Russia shortly before WW2 in Europe/Russia, between 1917 and 1929. 
			Over 300 Jewish of less than total of 375 'commissars' revolutionary 
			leaders were of Jews. Wonder why Israeli's filmed dancing during 911 
			were deported? Eliminate selective dual citizenry. Eliminate 
			political bribe favors + save American lives.  Even in Belgium we really love reading this. :-)
			 I hope the investigation the people call for  Have our military been dying for falsified 
			reasons? Were they treachorously lied to get them to sacrifice their 
			lives? Families mourning our Nation's Heros deserve to know. God 
			bless America.  The Dutch 9/11 Truth Movement salutes you!  Thank you. It takes courage to pursue the truth. 
			The collapse of WTC 7 could not have been a random consequence of 
			office fires; visit
			
			www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc7.html and watch the video 
			comparing the collapse of WTC 7 to an actual controlled demolition. 
			It is ludicrous to think the administration is not aware of this. 
			The official version of 9/11 can only be a deception.  So, there is one newspaper in the United States 
			that is still a guard dog, not a lap dog. Eternal thanks!  Right on! While you are at it, we still have to 
			expose the whole man-on-the-moon charade! The "moon landing" was 
			filmed in Area 57 and a friend of mine saw Neil Armstrong drinking 
			it up in Vegas the next night!!! Far Out!  Well done. May Daily Tidings be the beginning of 
			the Tide of Truth.  First off id like to say its about time a 
			newspaper is actually interested in what the american people want. 
			bravo!  "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If 
			we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of 
			the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. 
			The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to 
			acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we’ve been so credulous"
			 Thank you so much for having the courage to write 
			this editorial - the first paper in the USA to do this. We are so 
			proud to live in Ashland and be part of this kind of energy and 
			conscience. We are spreading the word as far and wide as we can and 
			appreciate seeing the worldwide response you are already rightfully 
			receiving. We look forward to the reaction from your challenge to 
			other newspapers. Maybe all who have writtten comments can share 
			this editorial with their local news editors?  Thank you for your editorial. I was living in New 
			York on 9/11, and was there again for the fifth anniversary. Only 
			when I returned, I was wearing an "investigate 9/11" shirt. And you 
			know what, most new yorkers, cops included, made me feel welcome. 
			New York is the greatest place in the world, and now I know that 
			Ashland, Oregon is the second...  911 worked so well, what can we expect next?  I'm not a big 'conspiracy theorist' but I'm also 
			not into a select few running the mass media which is running the 
			US. Sell your TV, buy a plane ticket and go get educated! We’re all 
			in this together.  Operation Mockingbird fools many. Speaking truth 
			honors all 9/11 victims and heroes: Simple high school physics 
			proves the inside job, the Conservation of Momentum. The 10 second 
			collapse times of the WTC roofs, each a quarter mile high, the same 
			as the fall time of those who jumped through THIN AIR to their 
			deaths?! Yet the roofs were resisted by 47 steel columns and tons of 
			concrete which mysteriously became dust. Only explosives explain. 
			Dr. Steven Jones analyzed materials and found THERMATE.  The media's the most powerful entity on earth. 
			They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the 
			guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of 
			the masses.  I hope the investigation will include Dov Zakheim 
			of Systems Planning Corp originator of the Flight Termination System 
			who was appointed an Under Secretary of Defense prior to 911. He was 
			also a contributor to the Project for a New American Century 
			document that postulated another Pearl Harbour as a necessary evil. 
			The FTS also had a destruct capability. There was a pod & a flash 
			under the wing. I hope people will listen to alternative media at 
			www.spyman.ca Know the truth and set yourself free.  Type 'WTC destruction a masonic ritual' & discover 
			more facts about the true culprits who are bent (twisted) in 
			satanizing the world & are the real enemies of liberty. Skull & 
			Boner Bush has a habit of projecting his own & his admin's 
			nefariousness onto the phantom terrorists. Have you all got yr. copy 
			of Global Outlook's Spring-Summer '06 issue, a compilation of 911 
			testimonies, inc. members of Scholars for 911 Truth?  Thank you so much for having the courage to ask 
			for a thorough, independent and transparent investigation into the 
			events of 9/11. Also, thank you to the many people who have posted 
			comments here. It is great to know we are not alone. True, some are 
			better informed than others and some have no clue at all, but still, 
			I'm very impressed with how many people WANT this investigation. How 
			can you WIN a war on terror if you don't know who is terrorizing you 
			and why? It is time US citizens found out.  
			Is this the shout that started the landslide to 9/11 
			Truth?  
			Thank you for this patriotic call for truth. May your 
			spirit grow among citizens and among journalists and politicians 
			nationwide. We have been intimidated into silence for too long.  
			You wingnuts should stick to flying saucers and big 
			foot. We were <i>ATTACKED</i>!!!  
			Cheers, Daily Tidings I agree. Those who disagree, 
			how come you are not fighting in Iraq for your glorious leader and a 
			shot at an innerparty membership! Better yet move to Oceania: War is 
			peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength. You'll be happy 
			there.  
			Remember, the massive demonization of Muslims 
			worldwide began with 9/11.  
			If there is no response from the media here we must 
			take to the streets. Please do not think that now the Dems will save 
			us all. If they do not move to give us back our Constitution very 
			soon, we have to demand it. Thank you Daily Tidings for stepping up 
			to the call of the people and bringing to light a subject that 
			becomes more important by the day. I can only hope the mainstream 
			media follows the example of integrity you have set. 
			Thank you for your coverage and finally standing up 
			for your rights!  
			Dear People,  
			It is posted at this web address:
			
			http://your-rights.com/rights/bush_lied.php where george Bush 
			says on video that Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. 
			Also on that page is a link to another video where he is lying about 
			9/11! I along with many, many others believe that 9/11 was an inside 
			job. State sponsored terrorism as stated in Alex Jones movie 
			entitled "Terror Storm" which you can see on google video. 
			AWESOME! WHAT MORE CAN I SAY. GOD BLESS YOU! YOU ARE 
			A TRUE PATRIOT LIKE DIETRICH BONHOFFER. 
			The media has been the castle around the dragon 
			administration of Bush & Co. The Daily Tidings stands historically 
			tall as a lone lighthouse of truth and freedom among the 
			blood-soaked-lies, the propaganda of ABC, CBS, NBC, and especially 
			FOX and the New York times. The hearts and minds of millions and 
			millions of Americans and world citizens are with you. 
			Congratulations for having balls!  
			Another newspaper prints the truth, another guilty bastard cowers in 
			fear! Thanks for printing this editorial guys, it shows that the 
			possibility of a free press is still with us. Drop subscriptions to 
			newspapers that don't do their job and subscribe to papers like 
			these, and the American Free Press, and the Idaho Observer, etc, so 
			they can expand. Hit the liars where it hurts! God Bless the USA, 
			those who are guilty for 9/11 should come forward now before 
			somebody else organizes a deal & rats 
			You are truly courageous, and I hope that your 
			article is the start to a widespread discussion and questioning in 
			the media and in public in the US and all over the world. There is a 
			need for a thorough investigation of the events of 9/11. Politicians 
			and the ruling finance and business people in the whole world need 
			to know, that there are still plenty of thinking people in this 
			world, who don''t simply believe, what they keep on telling us. May 
			God bless you and everybody who works towards truth. So 
			much money, time and outraged newspaper covers were spent over the 
			Clinton affair that hardly affected the public but only exposed a 
			rather irrelevant character flaw. And he was impeached for that. You 
			have to wonder why 911 hasn't been thoroughly investigated. Why on 
			the contrary there has been resistance to in-depth independent 
			investigation.  
			Well done & well said, the ADT!  
			I live in a small country on the opposite side of the 
			world and even here 90% of our people know that 9/11 was an INSIDE 
			JOB. There is no other explanation for what happened. I cannot 
			believe that there is actually people in the world who believe the 
			official story, I mean come on even a five year old kid can figure 
			it out?  Thank you for 
			making such a courageous call to action. The evidence revealing huge 
			gaping holes in the "official" story is overwhelming if we take the 
			time to seek it out. Adolf Hitler said: "It also gives us a very 
			special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people around us are 
			of what is really happening to them." Americans, myself included, 
			have gotten over our shock & horror and are waking up from the 
			mind-numbing-cable-TV-propaganda masked as news. We all MUST demand 
			the truth. 
			THANKS - conyers, pelosi, and dean forgot real quick 
			how many questions remain unanswered. Please push the issue! This 
			is a great editorial piece and it is time for the world to wake up 
			and start asking the same questions. I pray for our country and pray 
			that we are able to bring the people who did and/or allowed 9-11, to 
			justice. I think articles like this will move us closer to the 
			truth. I hope it is not the last. 
			I wonder about the connection to the military budget, 
			2 days before voting to reduce the military budget after end of the 
			cold war, 911 happened. Check out the book House of Bush, House of 
			Saud by Unger. Texas Oil & Saudie Oil teamed up to buy our military 
			industrial complex and oil companies by forming the "Carlisle Group. 
			They benefit by the chaos in Iraq, keeping that oil off the market, 
			increasing the price of oil, while getting the military contracts to 
			create the chaos... Win Win for them 
			At long last finally a newspaper with a conscience 
			and a backbone, well done guys you can read up a little more on what 
			many people now think happened at www.letsrollforums.com 
			As a proud American, I speak for the overwhelming majority when I 
			say that we should live with no other thought than to obey our 
			Government and its leaders. Remember our President's admonition. 
			"Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the 
			attacks of September 11th - malicious lies that attempt to shift the 
			blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty." 
			May the Fates have mercy on the rest of you. 
			Finally someone in the fourth estate has gotten the 
			courage to question the government's version of events of 911. 911 
			has become the biggest don't ask don't tell, it is not just one mere 
			elephant in the living room, but a herd of stampeding elephant that 
			begs for justice for the innocent victims of 911; so do ask and do 
			tell.

			Way to go america. You are slowly evolving. Did you 
			know you are the last country to see what your government is really 
			doing to you. All of canada knows it has even been on mainstream 
			media. The who world knows but you. That is how hatred has been 
			created towards America in the world. HEY EVERYBODY, didn't this 
			propaganda thing happen in NAZI GERMANY, way back when. LOL LOL LOL 
			LOL I applaud all the 
			9/11 truthseekers, who despite years of insults and aspersions being 
			cast on them, stuck with it, and brought truth to those who were 
			deceived by the seemingly fake TV events broadcast around the world 
			on that shameful day.  
			Thank God for Ashland!!  
			Putting aside the use of explosives for a minute, the 
			following are what i think should raise an eyebrow about the govt' 
			lack of concern;  
			Because you dare to ask questions, you dare to 
			discover the truth, 'The Ashland Daily Tidings' will be out of 
			circulation within months. Or if you are lucky you'll undergo a 
			takeover and major changes in the editorial and managerial line-up 
			are on the horizon.  
			An open call for the truth without selective 
			omissions. THANK YOU. Even though comfortable careers instead of 
			vigilance could be the truth; as officially presented. 
			FACT: NO TERROR ATTACK ON U.S. SOIL SINCE THE LAST 
			TIME BUSHCO NEOCONS STAGED ONE FOR ISRAEL.  
			YES we need to have a REAL investigation! Now some 
			say space aliens flew the planes and conspired to carry out the 
			attacks B/S. Others say 19 people from a cave crippled the most 
			powerful country in the world with boxcutters. The TRUTH is 911 was 
			carried out for the same old reasons. Money & Power. The official 
			story is ludicrous! What is being hidden from us? Sad that most 
			people rely on someone else to make sense of things for them. All I 
			can say is LEARN for yourselves. Question everything & demand Proof 
			Well said Mike Philips, I really like that one.  
			Stop the cover up. thank you! I agree 100%..  
			Enfin!!  
			Well Done!! Congratulations from our 911 truth movement here in 
			France! 
			The veterans coming home from the Middle East will 
			make Viet vets look like Kumbayah-singing flower children.  
			Bravo Ashland! End the 9/11 coverup! 
			Great Editorial.  
			Holy smokes. More fuel for the fire. Thank you 
			Ashland Daily Tidings. History will be on your side on this one I 
			think.  
			I lost a beloved Uncle that day and all I can say is 
			this: About time! This editorial is years late, as it takes only 
			simple math and science to figure out the realities and events of 
			that horrific day do not add up to the published, incomplete 
			'report'. Time for all to educate themselves and realize 9/11 was 
			pulled off by rogue elements within a number of government agencies. 
			Inform yourselves through the Internet and books such as Crossing 
			the Rubicon. 
			Thank you! Please keep going. Google the dancing 
			Israelis! The truth appears to be: 911 was a mass murder committed 
			by zionists, with help from US government insiders, and blamed (by 
			the real criminals) on Muslims. This conclusion will never be 
			blessed by any official government panel or by the major media as 
			long as both government and media are controlled by zionists, 
			through bribery and (especially) blackmail. "Islamic militants 
			staged a dastardly attack on America" is a deliberate lie. 
			I've been waiting for 4 years for the truth to come 
			out. When I first read some things about this, I was convinced 
			pretty quickly it was an inside job (with perhaps the help of some " 
			allies") & told anyone who'd listen (or not) to look for themselves 
			at the evidence. It was a thankless task most of the time & I often 
			felt alone although I knew I wasn't. We are NOT ALONE. Many thanks 
			Ashland, you are not alone. We (the peope) are behind you. Read all 
			the comments my friends, read ALL the comments. 
			People will be more willing to speak out in favor of 
			an investigation if they are supporting a call for forgiveness 
			rather than revenge.  
			True patriots are those of decent. To trust your 
			servant without oversite is foolish and self destructive. Thanks to 
			the Ashland Daily Tidings there is hope for a constructive media 
			wave. Everybody knows now that 9/11 was 
			caused by the Jews, who teamed up with Larry Silverstein, Enron 
			(who's documents were destroyed with WTC7), Rudy Giuliani, and both 
			Bushes to plan the attacks in order to invade Iraq as revenge for 
			the assassination attempt on Bush Sr. and gain $ through Halliburton 
			and the Carlyle Group, and to blackmail bin Laden into taking credit 
			for the attack but promising him that we'd purposely never find him.
			 
			Remember how many cameras were focused and ready? 
			Trace who was holding them and make em talk. Do 
			you homework!  
			Ah! The anti-Semites are out in the open. Behind 
			every conspiracy are haters with time to trade their lies with 
			like-minded morons. Who believes the supposed 911 conspiracy? 
			Anti-Semites and plugged-in losers who rely on google for their 
			“extensive research.” For you other conspiracy buffs: I don’t think 
			you’re morons because you’re right, I think your morons because 
			that’s exactly what you are. Step away from your computer and get 
			out into the world - the light of day will do you good. 
			Every time I read comments of "anti-Semite," I can 
			tell who the shill is. Semites are Semitic-speaking peoples of the 
			Middle East and northern Africa, mostly comprised of Jews and Arabs. 
			But Americans are finally starting to get wise who uses that term, 
			and that nation is Israel. There $B!G (Bs a good reason why this 
			shill doesn't want US finding the truth of why thermite charges were 
			placed at the base of the Twin Towers. Guess who was complicit in 
			the attacks on the USS Liberty and USS Cole.  
			Thank You! And how disturbed the 'Right' is to know 
			the American people are demanding an 'independent investigation' 
			regarding the events prior to and proceeding this tragedy. I 
			recently wrote my Senator and expressed concern regarding Bush 
			appointing Henry Kissinger to head the 911 invest'. Can no one stop 
			this man? WHY can this man NOT be stopped.  As the first to come forward from 
			the original "9/11 planning group," I owe a special thanks to 
			Ashland for publishing this piece.  Joseph,  
			Someone said this above and it should become our 
			battle cry. We need to spread this 'notion' like Bush spread the 
			notion of fear with great results.  
			Bravo!! Words cannot describe how refreshing it is to 
			hear a real newspaper, no matter how small, call for an 
			investigation into the events of 11 September. There is no doubt in 
			my mind that the Boeings merely provided a distraction to the eye of 
			the public. Magnificent sleight-of-hand, but a criminal act. 
			Bravo to my home town newspaper, (the one I often 
			complain about!) Thank you for asking for more from our government 
			and press - we are the people and we have the right and reason to 
			demand the truth! A Truth Commission could be a really good start. 
			And charges (of treason?) against Bush and his lousy co-horts need 
			to begin. I have a sickening feeling in my stomach, similar to the 
			one I had on 9-11; our blind allegiance and cultural brain washing 
			must end. Kudos again to my favorite Oregon paper! 
			I do not subscribe to complicity but I believe our 
			government put in place the machinations that allowed 9/11 to occur 
			. There were simply too many coincidences . Remember the neo cons 
			said they needed a Pearl Harbour ! 
			You people just don't get it. It ain't gonna happen. 
			Give it up. GIVE IT UP!! Go back to sleep! The country you thought 
			you lived in doesn't exist anymore. Don't believe me? Look up 
			'martial law' and its associated references at Wikipedia. Still 
			don't believe me? Try Google Videos: FEMA camps. They'll declare 
			full martial law before they allow 9/11 to be truly investigated. 
			They're just too powerful. Don't push them!!!  
			Bush and his band of murderers must be held 
			accountable.
