   The building came down neatly, totally, in its own footprint.  It was a   
   controlled demolition.  You can argue that rigging would have been noticed,   
   but the rigging was done nonetheless.

   Then here is a clue.  And how could so many stay quiet?  Not that many would   
   have to be in on it.  Remember it wasn't done in a few hours.  Otherwise   
   lots of money, lots of motivation, lots of fear.  And if and when someone   
   does break ranks, don't expect to hear it on World News Tonight with Peter   
   Jennings.  Have you seen the video of Silverstein or the firefighters   
   talking about demolition-like explosives going off - which they did on   
   videotape?  You might as well say how did "they" keep TWA 800 a secret, yet   
   many have contradicted the official story but get no "air time."   
      
      
   Bush-Linked Company Handled Security for the WTC, Dulles and United   
   by Margie Burns   
      
   George W. Bush's brother was on the board of directors of a company   
   providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles   
   International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The   
   company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also   
   linked for years to the Bush family.   
      
   The security company, formerly named Securacom and now named Stratesec, is   
   in Sterling, Va.. Its CEO, Barry McDaniel, said the company had a   
   ``completion contract" to handle some of the security at the World Trade   
   Center ``up to the day the buildings fell down."   
      
   It also had a three-year contract to maintain electronic security systems at   
   Dulles Airport, according to a Dulles contracting official.   
   Securacom/Stratesec also handled some security for United Airlines in the   
   1990s, according to McDaniel, but it had been completed before his arriving   
   on the board in 1998.   
      
   McDaniel confirmed that the company has security contracts with the   
   Department of Defense, including the U.S. Army, but did not detail the   
   nature of the work, citing security concerns. It has an ongoing line with   
   the General Services Administration - meaning that its bids for contracts   
   are noncompetitive - and also did security work for the Los Alamos   
   laboratory before 1998.   
      
   Marvin P. Bush, the president's youngest brother, was a director at   
   Stratesec from 1993 to fiscal year 2000. But the White House has not   
   publicly disclosed Bush connections in any of its responses to 9/11, nor has   
   it mentioned that another Bush-linked business had done security work for   
   the facilities attacked.   
      
   Marvin Bush joined Securacom when it was capitalized by the Kuwait-American   
   Corporation, a private investment firm in D.C. that was the security   
   company's major investor, sometimes holding a controlling interest. Marvin   
   Bush has not responded to telephone calls and e-mails for comment.   
      
   KuwAm has been linked to the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One   
   of its principals and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef   
   Saud al Sabah, served on the board of Stratesec.   
      
   The managing director at KuwAm, Wirt D. Walker III, was also a principal at   
   Stratesec, and Walker, Marvin Bush and al Sabah are listed in SEC filings as   
   significant shareholders in both companies during that period.   
      
   Marvin Bush's last year on the board at Stratesec coincided with his first   
   year on the board of HCC Insurance, formerly Houston Casualty Co., one of   
   the insurance carriers for the WTC. He left the HCC board in November 2002.   
      
   But none of these connections has been looked at during the extensive   
   investigations since 9/11. McDaniel says principals and other personnel at   
   Stratesec have not been questioned or debriefed by the FBI or other   
   investigators. Walker declined to answer the same question regarding KuwAm,   
   referring to the public record.   
      
   Walker is also chairman and CEO of Aviation General, a Tulsa, Okla.-based   
   aviation company with two subsidiaries. SEC filings also show al Sabah as a   
   principal and shareholder in Aviation General, which was recently delisted   
   by the Nasdaq. Stratesec was delisted by the American Stock Exchange in   
   October 2002.   
      
   The suite in which Marvin Bush was annually re-elected, according to public   
   records, is located in the Watergate in space leased to the Saudi   
   government. The company now holds shareholder meetings in space leased by   
   the Kuwaiti government there. The White House has not responded to various   
   requests for comment.   
      
   Speaking of the Watergate, Riggs National Bank, where Saudi Princess   
   Al-Faisal had her ``Saudi money trail" bank account, has as one of its   
   executives Jonathan Bush, an uncle of the president. The public has not   
   learned whether Riggs - which services 95 percent of Washington's foreign   
   embassies - will be turning over records relating to Saudi finance.   
      
   Meanwhile, Bush has nominated William H. Donaldson to head the Securities   
   and Exchange Commission. Donaldson, a longtime Bush family friend, was a   
   Yale classmate of Jonathan Bush.
