Catherine Herridge of Fox News broke the story yesterday that the 9/11 cases from Gitmo were not going forward in military commission trials. This is after they had announced to the 9/11 families and U.S.S. Cole families that military commissions would recommence. This was clearly meant to lead the families to believe that they were closer to promised justice. On today’s Secure Freedom Radio with Frank Gaffney, Debra Burlingame the sister of the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, Chic Burlingame, responds to the administration’s actions which basically amount to a politicized double cross.
“They used the 9/11 families basically as cover. They lied to us and they misled the public.” – Debra Burlingame on Secure Freedom Radio [audio: http://www.securefreedomradio.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/03222011_Seg3_Burlingame_11min13.mp3]
