w Siham Rashid of the Palestinian Counseling Center
(link2) in East Jerusalem: Dennis: we keep
seeing this celebration by the Palestinians on TV.. Sehan: what happened
yesterday was a shock, a tragedy for all of us around the world.. what's
happening here, hundreds of
Palestinians gathering in East Jerusalem at a vigil in front of the US
Consulate, to show support for the U.S. citizens.. people should not rush to
judgement.. like after the Oklahoma City Bombing.. media and individuals were
pointing fingers at Arab Americans.. I was a victim of the backlash.. to the people
of the United States: we are with you.. we share your tragedy.. we are standing
next to you.. we are waiting to hear.. Dennis: Last night Ariel Sharon gave a
midnight speech, saying now America knows what Israel has gone through.. Ms
Rashid: It's the wrong time for politicians to use this tragedy to politically
manuever for their cause.. this barbaric incident.. I had to rush home and call
my sister in NY, my sister in Washington, to make sure everyone is OK.. what's
happening now here in the Occupied Territories.. the atmosphere is really tense
here like always.. there is no comparibility to what the Palestinians have
available to them, as compared to the Israelis.. we were surrounded by scores
of police, in our faces, humiliating the people standing there (at the vigil)..
about brutalizations against Arabs in the Middle East..Israel does not hesitate
to punish the whole community for the actions of an individual.. we P 25:45 Dennis
w Harvard architect Jim Mallot (sp?): the rush to build those towers
may have led to many more deaths.. these buildings were built with.. a very
lightweight structure.. bar joists.. about the construction techniques used
because they were light and fast to build.. but if one component failed, they
all failed.. the explosion peeled away the sheetrock exposing the steel.. the
fire weakened the steel.. the steel collapsed.. 43:00 Dennis
w Alexander Cockburn of Counter Punch Magazine.. yesterday's article 'Flying Bombs, Who
Saw It Coming?'.. Dennis: $20 billion more for military intelligence.. think
they can get Osama Bin Laden now? Alexander: sure when you don't know what to
do, double the budget.. a failure of intelligence.. supposedly Bin Laden told
someone 3 weeks ago a big attack was coming.. in the case of Pearl Harbor, some
believe the American military saw it coming, but said nothing, to get America
into the war.. Dennis: we couldn't find anyone to talk to yesterday in the
government.. Alexander: Bush gave a couple stupid little speeches yesterday
morning, flew to Nebraska, then gave a foolish speech last night.. the
government run by TV anchors.. about the traditional 3 network anchors.. about
the CIA training given to Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.. about the lack of
eloquence of reporters decribing the staggering and horrible spectacle.. hear
plenty talk about 'faceless cowards'.. faceless maybe, cowards, probably not..
no one tried to explain why the attack took place.. why? this is *probably* a reaction
to U.S. support for Israel.. Dennis: maybe weapons in space could have
prevented it.. Alexander: they captured these planes with penknives.. they'll
probably double the missle defense budget anyway, they're using the pentagon
budget as an instrument of economic stabilization.. to subscribe to Counter Punch Magazine, call
