Cobb Calls for New 9/11 Probe
As do Vast Majority of New Yorkers
COBB/LaMARCHE 2004
NEWS RELEASE
For immediate release:
September 9, 2004
During the Republican National Convention, when the GOP was zealously exploiting 9/11 to sell Bush-Cheney and the
endless "war on terror," a poll was released stating that half of New Yorkers now think that Bush team members purposely
allowed 9/11 to happen and thus abetted the attacks.
In the first scientific poll of public attitudes about possible government complicity in the 9/11 attacks, Zogby
International reported on Monday, August 30th that over 49% of New York City residents believe that U.S. government
leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to
take action" and 66% called for either Congress or the New York Attorney General to reopen the 9/11 investigation. (See http://zogby.com/news)
"This is yet another demonstration that the 9/11 Commission did not answer or even address most of the victim families'
most serious concerns, and that public hunger is now growing for some real 9/11 truth," said Green Party presidential
candidate David Cobb.
"Since April 2004 the Greens have been the only political party to express solidarity with victim families exasperated
or outraged by the Kean Commission cover-up. We have consistently supported their demands for a new investigation which
addresses all of their unanswered questions, especially those suggesting foreknowledge, criminal negligence and
complicity."
Cobb also voiced deep concern about the lack of objective media coverage concerning 9/11. When a large majority of New
Yorkers want a full reexamination of 9/11 crimes, and the press will not even report on that desire, let alone encourage
its debate, we are living dangerously far from our founders' dreams and close to an Orwellian state," said Cobb.
In response to victim families' and New Yorkers' demands for 9/11 truth, Cobb is calling for all local media companies
and independent media activists to step up to the plate.
"9/11 was a terrible New York tragedy, but since it was then exploited to bankrupt the nation, shred the Constitution,
and plunge us into endless war, we are all its victims now. And we must all therefore support New Yorkers in their call
for a new and unrestricted probe. Local media and citizen activism may be our only hope for answers, accountability and
closure. We urge all journalists, alternative papers and community broadcasters to study the facts about 9/11 and help
to spread the word. We can have a political climate that finally demands the facts, but we will have to create it
ourselves."
