Please post comments and questions for the filmmakers at 9500 Liberty.

[UPDATE by Lowell: For the record, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, 9/11 hijackers Marwan al Shehhi and Mohamed Atta were here legally.  In fact, "In mid-September[2000], Atta and Shehhi applied to change their immigration status from tourist to student, stating their intention to study at Huffman [Aviation in Venice, Florida] until September 1,2001."  Satam al Suqami also had legal status in the United States, although it expired on May 21, 2001.  Two others, Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar, "cleared Immigration and Customs at Los Angeles International Airport."  According to FAIR, the rest of the 9/11 hijackers "entered the country legally on a temporary visa, mostly tourist visas with entry permits for six months."  Perhaps some of the speakers were confused because "at least three of [the hijackers] had fallen out of status and were, therefore, in the United States illegally" on September 11?  I don't know, but the bottom line is that, in 2000 and 2001, fifteen Saudis and four other Middle Easterners entered the country LEGALLY and carried out the 9/11 attacks.  None entered the United States from Mexico.]
Footage was shot during the first hour of the 14 hour hearing of the Prince William Board of Supervisors that began at 2 PM on October 16th, 2007. This video includes the 8-member board voting to overrule Chairman Corey Stewart who sought to limit citizens' words to 1-minute instead of the customary 3 minutes. Supervisor Maureen Cadigan sited Stewart's post cards when she challenged him on this.  More from the other 12 hours of the hearing on 9500 Liberty page soon.

Since the consensus seems to have already been reached (pol - 10/18/2007 7:36:49 AM)
before the meeting began, looking back, doesn't Corey's call for limiting citizen's time to 1 minute fail to pass the smell test?

And doesn't the BOCS' vote to override his motion appear to be a way of rubbing Corey's nose in his upcoming mess? 

If Corey had truly wanted to be helpful, why did not his mailer inform the citizens of the county of the changes made to the resolution as it would be voted upon on the 16th?  Oh, he didn't want to be helpful, did he?



Everything about Corey Stewart fails (Lowell - 10/18/2007 7:42:44 AM)
to pass the smell test. That guy reeks so bad he could knock a buzzard off a shit pile.


Another video...interesting point on Riverside, NJ (Lowell - 10/18/2007 8:24:14 AM)


Strange (Pain - 10/18/2007 8:49:02 AM)
I thought Iraq was responsible for 9-11.


Exactly, that's why we're "fighting them there" (Lowell - 10/18/2007 8:50:45 AM)
Well, Iraq's close enough to Saudi Arabia, right?  Heh. Heh.


Stewart's PWC "Politiburo" (hereinva - 10/18/2007 10:43:13 AM)
Stewart's attempts to quash community comment to 1 minute...and previously telling members of a PWC Human Rights Commission that they cannot critique proposed ordinances..doesn't sound like freedom and democracy in PWC.
