Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks; Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment

Kansas City, MO (Zogby International) September 6, 2007 - As America nears the sixth anniversary of the world-churning events of September 11, 2001, a new Zogby International poll finds a majority of Americans still await a Congressional investigation of President Bush' and Vice President Cheney's actions before, during and after the 9/11 attacks. Over 30% also believe Bush and/or Cheney should be immediately impeached by the House of Representatives.
The 911truth.org–sponsored poll also found that over two-thirds of Americans say the 9/11 Commission should have investigated the still unexplained collapse of the 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001.
WTC 7 housed the mayor's emergency bunker and offices of the SEC, IRS, CIA and Secret Service and was not hit by any planes but still completely collapsed into its own footprint nearly eight hours after the Twin Tower attacks. FEMA did not explain this collapse, the 911 Commission ignored it, and the promised official study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is now 2 years overdue.


Americans think a lot about September 11, 2001, but, in thinking about it they don't necessarily believe the current path of the USA is correct.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Six years after the September 11 attacks on the United States, most Americans view the plane hijackings that killed around 3,000 people as the most significant historical event of their lives, according to a poll released Monday.
Eighty-one percent of those surveyed said they see the attacks as the most significant historical even of their lifetimes, with more people on the east coast -- 90 percent -- choosing this view compared to 75 percent on the west coast.
The Zogby International telephone poll surveyed 938 people between September 6 and 9 and has a three-percentage point margin of error.
The poll also showed 61 percent of respondents saying they think of the events at least once a week and 16 percent saying they think of the attacks every day.
A full 91 percent said they believe the United States will be attacked again on US soil.
Sixteen percent said they had personally visited the site of the World Trade Center in New York City to pay tribute to those who died when two passenger jets plunged into the towers and caused them to collapse.
A third jet hijacked by Al-Qaeda militants hit the Pentagon outside Washington, and a fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

Sacramento, CA (AHN) - A blaze that has burned nearly 100 square miles of wilderness in the Sierra Nevada mountain range had crews working round the clock. As of late Sunday night firefighters only had about 15 percent of it contained.
The fire in the Plumas National Forest has so far destroyed an unoccupied summer home, a trailer and a shed since it erupted early last week. Many others were forced to flee from the fire's impending embers.
Mandatory evacuations remained in effect for 50 to 100 people in the North Arm of Indian Valley and other small communities. Officials have urged residents of Genesee and Taylorsville to leave their homes since the wind change is turning the fire back in their direction but is not requiring them to leave.
The wind direction on Sunday shifted carrying smoke toward the San Joaquin Valley and San Francisco Bay area, nearly 200 miles away, authorities said. Health officials even had to issue warnings in cities hundreds of miles away due to haze and difficult breathing conditions.
Particularly the elderly, people with pulmonary illness and people who work outdoors need to be careful.
The fire had burned through 62,000 acres, or 97 square miles, the Forest Service reported.
According to an AP report more than 2,700 firefighters battled the fire on Sunday employing the use of eight air tankers and 15 helicopters. Fire officials took to the sky dropping water and fire retardant chemicals. There was no estimate when the fire might be contained.
