Does anyone know how to do a file search for "60 Minutes" archives?? I can't seem to get to the right website to run one for the Andy Desperito/George TeBeque (Sp?) story about them going to rescue Port Authority workers trapped in their command center on the 23rd Floor.
TIA.

Somebody explain this to me, why hasn't one person in 14 pages touched on the low capacity on the flights, why have we consistently attacked the CNN HQ thing when he admits he could have been mistaken, even though no one has truly proven he was.

O.K. Time for the answer to the trivia question.
*Yawn* More like the Trivial Question...
In this document we have all laid out for us the blueprint for a "Department of Homeland Security" (This is the first place I have seen the US referred to as "the Homeland"--reminiscent of Hitler's "Fatherland.") with a cabinet level officer (now Tom Ridge, of course)
etc.
Oh my yes, you nailed it! They do seem related...they both have "land" in the word. Good catch!
These 14 committee staff members (Co-chaired by Gary Hart and Warren Rudman) are all--FOURTEEN OUT OF FOURTEEN-- members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Doesn't it seem odd that a plan for "Homeland Defense" would need to be worked up by the Council on FOREIGN Relations?? (Lee Hamilton is a Biderburger, too, BTW.)
Hmmm....possibly because those members would be more aware of (dum-dum-dum) Foreign Policy and might know which nations and or foreign groups pose a threat? I certainly don't want something like this being made by someone dealing with state traffic issues and has no clue about the world.
Just another coincidence, I suppose, that this was all put together just a few months before the 9/11 event brought it all into being....
BTW: I had 11 bowel movements the week before 9/11. Just another coincidence, I suppose...but maybe you could "research" that one for me.

i.e. somebody told the CNN staff (which had leased almost the entire 110th floor) to skip work that day.

Got me...I had forgotten I had added that, but I added it (at least in my mind) more as a possibility "with an i.e. qualfier" than as a statement of fact. Certainly there is that possibility, and certainly that was my implication, but I really had not realized that you might take it as a statement of fact instead of as the provision of a suggestion or possibility. I apologize for leaving the impression.
Certainly I could have worded that first point more carefully. Are we all done yet (15 pages, 300 posts and 6000 views later) beating that wording to death yet?
