URGENT! JOHN KERRY AND HOMELAND SECURITY!Kerry's Shocking pre-9/11 FAILURE!

The following is the copy of a letter sent to President George W . Bush at theWhite House. June 14.2004Dear President Bush,This URGENT message is being sent (in increments of 25, the maximumcopies allowed by AOL) to over 2000 of your supporters, numeroussimpatico print and electronic jou rnalists, selected 9/11 Commissionmem bers and Republican officials (including those who require individuale-mails and faxes).In over 30 years as a journalist (N Y Times, etc.), I have never undertakenthis kind of initiative. But Kerry's aspirations to take command of ournation and our national security are, by any measure, h orrific.Since 2000, th e Democrats - abetted by an overwhelmingly leftist media ~have been abusive in their criticism and have quite effectively set theagenda for national discussion, keeping issues ~ like Abu Gbraib, firingtop cabinet mem bers and your administration's so-called culpability forSeptember 11th, etc. ~ on the front burner of public consciousness.Now there is something we can all do about this travesty! A recent articleI wrote for NewsMax.com received such an avalanche of e-mails ~ allexpressing tremendous outrage about K erry (and Gorelick) NO T testifyingbefore the 9/11 Commission ~ that it occurred to me this is the perfectsubject for your supporters to hammer to the American public, asking whyKerry is being exempted from this d uty to h is country.The Commission is scheduled to reconvene in W ashington, D.C. nextweek, so the timing is ideal. *Click here for the article, "Kerry & Com pany's Homeland Insecurity":

Kerry & Company?s Homeland InsecurityJoan SwlrakyThursday , May 27,2004

Whatever the 9/11 Commission report reveals when it is issued at the end of July, it will still lack thetestimony of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, whose failure to act ? in light of fairwarning and overwhelming evidence ? holds the key to his unacceptability as a national andinternational leader.Of course the credibility of the report is already in question, given not only its timing, during apresidential election year, but also the blatantly partisan nature of its panel and a number of itsinterviewees ? all of whom seem unable to resist mugging for the ever-present cameras, grandstandingand offering their own often caustic and slanted opinions.But whatever the Commission? s findings, it? s important to remember that two of the four planes theIslamic terrorists commandeered that fateful September day took off from Logan Airport in Boston, thehome turf that Kerry has served as senator for nearly 20 years.While the airline captains, attendants and passengers were completely oblivious to their imminent andhorrifying deaths ? having never been warned that anything was amiss ? Kerry cannot claim the same.That is because in May of 2001, four months before our nation was changed forever, Kerry received aletter from Brian Sullivan, who had recently retired as a special agent with the Federal AviationAdministration (FAA), where he spent over 10 years as a risk-management specialist charged with thesecurity of air traffic control facilities throughout New EnglandSullivan? s letter told Kerry that, based on numerous government reports, Logan Airport was especiallyvulnerable to terrorist infiltration. His letter held these prophetic words:"With th e concept of jihad, do you think i t would be difficult for a determined terrorist to get on aplanean d destroy himself and all other passengers? Think -what th e result would be of a coordinated attackthat took down severaldomestic flights on the same day. With our currentscreening, this is more thanpossible. It is almost likely.?A few weeks later, Bogdan Dzakovic ? former FAA chief of the national airport-security covert RedTeam (which conducted special ops in aviation-security matters) ? was asked to hand-deliver avideotape to Jamie Wise, a staff person in Kerry? s office. He told Wise that the film depicted the easewith which undercover operatives had successfully broken through Logan? s security shields withpotentially deadly weapons. Not once but 10 times!? I received no feedback," Dzakovic said.Shortly after, FAA special agent Steve Elson ? a member of the Red Team, ex-Navy SEAL and thecreative force behind the video that revealed Logan? s vulnerability ? prevailed upon Mr.Wise to passthe video along to Kerry.Wise told him, inessence: Sorry, no access to Kerry because you? re not a constituent!Undaunted, Elson tried to reach Kerry? s legislative director, Gregg Rothschild ? again to no avail.http://www.newsmax.conVprinterxfm^ 6/4/04
