From 9/11 Blogger.
One of the first juicy bits to trickle out of the Wikileaks release of 5 million Stratfor emails is the comment from Fred Burton, Stratfor's Vice President of Intelligence, that the Imam of the controversial so-called Ground Zero mosque is an "FBI operational asset." Burton, who was formerly a special agent with the US State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service and the Deputy Chief of their counterterrorism division, made the comment on an email chain regarding a New York Observer article, Untangling the Bizarre CIA Links to the Ground Zero Mosque. The controversy surrounding the "Ground Zero mosque" overwhelmingly dominated the news and discussion surrounding the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Another travesty: City interrupts wake to take back corpse of 9/11 first responder
From 9/11 Blogger
The family of NYPD policeman George Wong--who recently passed away at age 48 from what was determined to be a 9/11-related illness--was set to pay their respects at a wake when, 10 minutes before the ceremony was to begin, workers from the Medical Examiner's office entered and took the body back.
Apparently, the NYC Department of Health wasn't happy with the conclusion of Wong's doctor re the cause of his death, and exerted pressure to have the Medical Examiner's office examine his remains some more. In the end, the death certificate was changed to identifiy the cause of death as 'pending.'
Oh, how I wish I were making this up:

'The city's official policy remains that there is no conclusive link between exposure to Ground Zero toxins and "emerging illnesses, including cancer," said Health Department spokeswoman Susan Craig.
'...Only after any mention of 9/11 was scrubbed from his death certificate was the family allowed to collect the body yesterday -- at their own expense.'
Where potential liabilities are concerned, the behavior of the New York City government seems to know no bounds.
And in the meantime, we're all just supposed to join them in pretending not to see any 'conclusive link' between the post-9/11 toxicity at Ground Zero and the litany of illnesses suffered by 9/11 first resonders.

Untangling the Bizarre CIA Links to the Ground Zero Mosque
From The New York Observer and discovered on Cryptogon.
So far, the debate over the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero has unfolded along predictable lines, with the man at the center of the project, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, drawing attacks from the right painting him as a terrorist sympathizer with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
But meanwhile, links between the group behind the controversial mosque, the CIA and U.S. military establishment have gone unacknowledged...

Keith Olbermann Special Comment: There Is No 'Ground Zero Mosque' - 08/16/10
From Wake Up 1776
(Editor's Note: I would only like to add that while living in Austria a few years ago I remember some young Austrians characterizing how they addressed their parents and grandparents about the Nazi times as asking the question "How could you be so stupid?" No, we aren't the Nazis. We haven't lived through a defeat in a world war and a complete collapse of our economy and currency yet either. One people will never exactly copy another either. But what we are without doubt is a country of childish, ignorant, backwards, anti-intellectual, spoiled and misinformed people who want very bad to believe we are God's greatest gift to humanity. We have, like the Germans and Austrians 70 years ago, been lied to about many events that surround us, and through that deception, have engendered a dangerous hate and disregard for principle, rationality and honesty. Our corrupt leadership in many ways is what such a people deserve. If anyone cares about the future, they need to smarten up. -George)
