Kristen Breitweiser has book coming out in September
Edited on Mon Jun-26-06 12:54 PM by RamboLiberal
Wake-Up Call: The Political Education of a 9/11 Widow

Kristen didn't know what he was saying. He told her to turn on the television. He continued.
"They are jumping out of the windows. Right across from me…Sweets, I'm safe…But I have to go."
The call ended abruptly and Kristen watched with horror as the second tower exploded. In that frozen instant, she felt in her heart that Ron had been killed.

WAKE-UP CALL is the deeply personal, often shocking, and ultimately inspirational story of a woman whose world was shattered by terrorism-and who, with no husband by her side or father for her child, found the courage and strength to not only build a new life, but become one of the country's most outspoken activists and harshest critics of the current administration.

A former Republican, Breitweiser, along with three other 9/11 widows (known to the media as "The Jersey Girls"), fought tirelessly for the creation of the 9/11 Commission, in spite of strong opposition from President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, and many other top government officials. While describing her journey, Breitweiser discloses eye-opening information about mistakes made prior to the 9/11 attacks, cover-ups discovered during her campaign for the 9/11 Commission, surprising encounters with some of the country's most powerful officials, and unsettling facts about present-day national security.

Moving, hard-hitting, and revelatory, Kristen Breitweiser's book is a wake-up call no American can ignore.

My local paper in a list of political/issues books has it coming out in September-bet it is in time for the 9-11 5th anniversary. Wonder if the f'ing media will book her or Coulter

"Wake-up Call: The Political Education of a 9/11 Widow" by Kristen Breitweiser. (Warner, $24.95). Sept.

Link has a good list of currently released and upcoming polical/issues books to look for. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06176/701028-44.stm

1. The Corpmedia will do its part to INSULT Kristen by booking Coulter to
counter the book - as if Coulter is a legitimate analyst and critic. Expect a whole slew of surrogates and operatives, even from some of the other widows who blindly believed every lie BushInc has told them and facts be damned.

No - the corpmedia has its designated hitters lined up to do the dirty work of attacking Kristen for them. Count on it.

2. I'd love to see this book outsell Coulter's Godless
Edited on Mon Jun-26-06 01:09 PM by RamboLiberal
I hope every DU'er and liberal who has the $$$$'s buys this one. In fact I'm pre-ordering it right now from B&N. Says it's release is Sept 6th.

BTW, the brownshirts are already out in force on the Amazon.com forum on this book.

6. I did some googling on this book and the swiftboaters
Edited on Mon Jun-26-06 07:00 PM by RamboLiberal
are already out.

Check out the crap on this site. BTW, I posted at forum on Amazon.com's site on the book cause the Coulter fans are already posting their crap there. Hope some of you eloquent DU'ers will go out and add your comments to the Amazon forum.

Ought to be some mighty fine debates between Breitwesier and Ann Coulter this fall!

I can't wait! Ann is right-on and apparently her fans have just made "Godless" No. 1! Bill O'Reilly looks like a jealous moron over this issue. He's over.

I hope this book flops. I bet a lot of real 9/11 widows despise these four b*tches. They still do not realize the fact that al-Qaeda spent the Clinton era planning these attacks. There is no way Bush could have stopped these attacks, and if Bush had told everyone before 9/11 that an attack was coming the whole country would have gone into a panic.

9. Let's hope Ptech (now GoAgile) gets a good look by Kristin in her book
Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 12:00 PM by EVDebs
How much did the FBI know about Ptech ?
http://cbs4boston.com/iteam/local_story_343145212.html

also see Cooperative Research's 'secret service'
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/entity.jsp?id=1521846767-2254

How this all squares with Greg Palast's reporting of an NSA "pre 9-11 policy shift" is worthy of more investigating by the Jersey Girls:

""A top-level CIA operative who spoke with us on condition of strictest anonymity said that, after Bush took office, "There was a major policy shift" at the National Security Agency. Investigators were ordered to "back off " from any inquiries into Saudi Arabian financing of terror networks, especially if they touched on Saudi royals and their retainers. That put the Bin Ladens, a family worth a reported $12 billion and a virtual arm of the Saudi royal household, off limits for investigation. Osama was the exception; he remained a wanted man, but agents could not look too closely at how he filled his piggy bank. The key rule of any investigation, "follow the money," was now violated, and investigations-at least before September 11-began to die."" from

Khan Job: Bush Spiked Probe of Pakistan’s Dr. Strangelove, BBC reported in 2001
http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=312

This makes the Dubai Ports outsourcing deal look like peanuts and it all could have been nipped in the bud, so to speak. "Why not ?" seems to be the logical question.

BTW, even the swiftboaters will have trouble with this since conservative websites are well aware of Ptech (now GoAgile), which appears to STILL have government contracts in the WH and military, see the conservative website article at:

10. I'm going to pre-order Kristen's book on Amazon so the numbers
will count. I've admired Kristen since 9/11 and would love to see more of her on TV, but would love to see her run for a Wash DC office. We desperately need her intelligence where it could do the most good. I also hope all DU'ers order the book.
