- In 2003/4, I ran Dennis Kucinich's campaign for President
in Santa Fe, NM. It was my first political effort since the long journey
away from the Republican party into which I had been born. The effort had
additional benefits: while planting Kucinch for President signs around
Santa Fe, I met a former Captain in US Army Intelligence who was able to
substantially add to my understanding of the 9/11 Inside Job. Very substantially.*
-
- I have never seen the Congressman so morally energized
and talented than he was at the standing room only Albuquerque town hall
forum. But the real news coming from this event is that Congressman Kucinich,
in public comments to me in my job as a newspaper editor, revealed that
he supports both an investigation of the nuclear armed B-52 that flew from
Minot to Barksdale as well as a full new 911 investigation.
-
- In 2004, Kucinich was wary of 9/11 inside job questions
from his New Mexico campaign, saying he had no evidence to support such
a thesis and acting worried that comments he made might be used against
him later. Now, although he didn't describe the nature of his concern,
he has made it clear that a full investigation of the events is necessary.
Reports from activists during the past months have suggested that he was
in favor of a "limited" new 911 investigation. I asked him point
blank: "limited or full investigation." His answer: "full
investigation." The body language was very clear that we need to get
to the bottom of it. Prayers for Dennis are in order, and a contingent
of Marine security specialists.
-
- The Congressman was equally forceful and certain
on the question of the B-52 overflight. With both awareness of the news
on the subject and the gravity of the situation, Kucinich immediately agreed
that a Congressional investigation should be conducted. My followup question
was, "How does one start such an investigation in Congress?"
to which Dennis replied with his trademark straight-shooting: "I just
did it."
-
- Adding to the seriousness of the situation, during
his public speech, in front of cameras, news media and roughly 500 supporters,
Kucinich stated publicly that were he to be elected, one of his first actions
would be to turn over Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gates, Rice et al to law
enforcement for prosecution.**
-
- Dennis wasn't kidding either, he prefaced this statement
with a slow and deliberate announcement that he wanted his stance on the
Administration's criminality to be public. The man is serious. After he
was done answering my questions, we shook hands and looked straight at
each other. He may be running for President, but Dennis is one of us.

to hear what the charges were, perhaps it will be possible to discern his
words better in the video soon to be posted at <http://kucinich.us/>kucinich.us
