"You know, it's the same kind of thing that you hear from people who say that 9/11 was an inside job," the Republican lawmaker said. "It's un-American to be spreading those kinds of lies and they are lies. And we have an obligation that goes beyond partisanship, an obligation that we share -- Democrats and Republicans together -- to make sure that we understand every single piece of the facts about what happened that day and to make sure the people who did are held accountable.” Liz Cheney — 11/7/21

*****************
On September 11 - a date that would become legendary exactly eleven years later - President George Bush Sr. drew the lessons of his action [Persian Gulf War] in an address to the U.S. Congress:
“Clearly, no longer can a dictator [Saddam Hussein] count on East-West confrontation [Cold War ended 1991] to stymie concerted United Nations action against aggression.” In short, given its decisive influence on the United Nations and with no danger of a Soviet Union veto, the United States henceforth had a free hand in the world. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, he said, “offers a rare opportunity” to move toward “a new world order.”

60 Minutes: ABUSE AT ABU GHRAIB
https://charlierose.com/videos/7490
****************
“As the debate on detention policies intensifies, it's worth reminding ourselves of what the president himself has said about torture.” —— 2003
“Today, on the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, the United States declares its strong solidarity with torture victims across the world. Torture anywhere is an affront to human dignity everywhere. We are committed to building a world where human rights are respected and protected by the rule of law.
Freedom from torture is an inalienable human right. The Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment, ratified by the United States and more than 130 other countries since 1984, forbids governments from deliberately inflicting severe physical or mental pain or suffering on those within their custody or control. Yet torture continues to be practiced around the world by rogue regimes whose cruel methods match their determination to crush the human spirit ...
The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment. I call on all nations to speak out against torture in all its forms and to make ending torture an essential part of their diplomacy.”

“Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission about his experience in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center with Vice President Cheney as American Airlines flight 77 approached the Pentagon was not included in the 9/11 Commission Report. In one colloquy testified by Mineta, the vice president refers to orders concerning the plane approaching the Pentagon:
There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, 'The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out.' And when it got down to, 'The plane is 10 miles out,' the young man also said to the vice president, 'Do the orders still stand?' And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?' Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant.”

On September 11 - a date that would become legendary exactly eleven years later - President George Bush Sr. drew the lessons of his action [Persian Gulf War] in an address to the U.S. Congress:
“Clearly, no longer can a dictator [Saddam Hussein] count on East-West confrontation [Cold War ended 1991] to stymie concerted United Nations action against aggression.” In short, given its decisive influence on the United Nations and with no danger of a Soviet Union veto, the United States henceforth had a free hand in the world. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, he said, “offers a rare opportunity” to move toward “a new world order.”

60 Minutes: ABUSE AT ABU GHRAIB
https://charlierose.com/videos/7490
****************
“As the debate on detention policies intensifies, it's worth reminding ourselves of what the president himself has said about torture.” —— 2003
“Today, on the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, the United States declares its strong solidarity with torture victims across the world. Torture anywhere is an affront to human dignity everywhere. We are committed to building a world where human rights are respected and protected by the rule of law.
Freedom from torture is an inalienable human right. The Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment, ratified by the United States and more than 130 other countries since 1984, forbids governments from deliberately inflicting severe physical or mental pain or suffering on those within their custody or control. Yet torture continues to be practiced around the world by rogue regimes whose cruel methods match their determination to crush the human spirit ...
The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment. I call on all nations to speak out against torture in all its forms and to make ending torture an essential part of their diplomacy.”

“Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission about his experience in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center with Vice President Cheney as American Airlines flight 77 approached the Pentagon was not included in the 9/11 Commission Report. In one colloquy testified by Mineta, the vice president refers to orders concerning the plane approaching the Pentagon:
There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, 'The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out.' And when it got down to, 'The plane is 10 miles out,' the young man also said to the vice president, 'Do the orders still stand?' And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?' Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant.”
