CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Two closed-door meetings are planned for families of the passengers and crew of the four aircraft used in the Sept. 11 attacks so they can hear tapes of phone calls from the planes and see other government evidence of what happened during the hijackings.


The invitation-only briefings will be held next Friday in Princeton, N.J., and July 14 in Boston, Justice Department (news - web sites) spokesman Charles Miller said. The Boston session also will be broadcast via closed-circuit hookup to sites for family members in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

Nicky Stern, executive director of Families of Sept. 11, said some family members believe the government is withholding information from them and want a chance to judge for themselves if investigators have learned all they can from the tapes.


"A lot of family members feel that there might be a clue in these tapes as to what could have been done," said Stern, whose husband died in the World Trade Center. "You have to try to go further. Sometimes they are not right."

1. Bush hurting in polls? Trot out the terror tapes!

Nothing like a little 9/11 fix to get people marching behind their Glorious Leader again.

In all history, has such a moron ever milked such a tragedy for such a perverse gain?

2. Since when do they record phone calls on planes?

Who recorded these things? Where did the government get them? This is too wierd. Did anyone else know phone calls were recorded on planes? Kind of a privacy violation here normally.
