Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Former CIA analysts Ray McGovern and David MacMichael discuss how the White House exploited the September 11 attacks to fulfill an ideological strategic concept and wage a war that had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction or ties with al-Qaeda.

Earlier we talked about the case of the former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Joe Wilson and the outing of his wife as an alleged CIA agent by senior white house officials after Wilson came forward saying there was no evidence of that Iraq attempted to import aluminum tubes from Niger. Today we are going to talk about the September 11th attacks.

  • Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst.
  • David MacMichael, former CIA analyst.
