'Secrecy surrounds a Bush brother's role in 9/11 security'

WASHINGTON -- A company that provided
security at New York City's World Trade Center, Dulles International
Airport in Washington, D.C., and to United Airlines between 1995 and
2001, was backed by a private Kuwaiti-American investment firm with
ties to a brother of President Bush and the Bush family, according to
records obtained by the American Reporter.
Two planes hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001 were United Airlines planes, and
another took off from Dulles International Airport; two, of ocurse,
slammed into the World Trade Center. But the Bush Administration has
never disclosed the ties of a presidential brother and the Bush family
with the firm that intersected the weapons and targets on a day of
national tragedy.
Marvin P. Bush, a younger brother of George W. Bush, was a principal in
the company from 1993 to 2000, when most of the work on the big
projects was done. But White House responses to 9/11 have not publicly
disclosed the company's part in providing security to any of the named
facilities, and many of the public records revealing the relationships
are not public.
When, following the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began its multi-million-dollar, multiyear revamping of security in and around the Twin Towers and Buildings 4 and 5, Securacom was among numerous contractors hired in the upgrade.
The companies doing security jobs received due mention in print, in security industry publications and elsewhere. The board membership of a son of former President Bush went unnoticed, at least in print.

This is really.....stupid. For lack of a better word. I'll bet you can also find ties to many other politicians, these are large companies. But you aren't looking for others are you?

And Prescott Bush funding Adolf Hitler is no big deal either right? I bet we can find lots of links to people in America funding Hitler cuz it's such a big country after all and that makes it OOOOOOOOOOOOK. Oh! And forget the fact that Neil Bush was friends with the brother of John Hinkley. That of course is just another coincidence. Ironic what you would call stupid.
