David Ray Griffin in Madison...

MUJCA-NET is a group of scholars, religious leaders and activists dedicated to uniting members of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths in pursuit of 9/11 truth. They believe that the process of joining together in search of the truth about 9/11 will bring enormous benefits, regardless of what truths they may discover. While endorsers and supporters have different views about the probable level of US government complicity in 9/11, all agree that a new, honest investigation of the possibility of official complicity is a matter of the most urgent national and global importance.

Recently they hosted Professor David Ray Griffin, author of The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions at the UW Madison. His speech was televised on CNN today. Griffin takes a critical look at the official 9/11 Commission Report put out by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. He argues that the "omissions and distortions" in the report amount to a cover-up by government officials and says that the available evidence suggests that the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 attacks (either by ignoring known threats or through actual participation in the planning of the attacks).

2020 Vision Campaign...

The World Conference of Mayors for Peace will assemble on Sunday, May 1st in New York City for an Emergency Campaign to Ban Nuclear Weapons. Led by the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the organization is seeking to enroll mayors from across the globe to come to the 2005 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the founding of the United Nations.

Urged on by the Hibakusha – the survivors of "hell on earth," the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have called for A Year of Remembrance and Action for a Nuclear Weapons Free World. They propose that negotiations begin in 2005 and conclude by 2010 for a treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons, with global nuclear disarmament implemented no later than 2020. Thus they are calling it the 2020 Vision Campaign.
