911 Victim’s Wife Files RICO Case Against GW Bush

Philadelphia, PA – 11/26/03) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, announced today that he, attorney for Ellen Mariani, wife of Louis Neil Mariani, who died when
United Air Lines flight 175 was flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9-11 at a news conference regarding the filing of a detailed
Amended Complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on 11/26/03 in the case of Mariani vs. Bush et al that
he is alleging President Bush and officials including, but not limited to Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld and Feinberg that they:

1. had knowledge/warnings of 911 and failed to warn or take steps to prevent;

This should be funny. Not to make light of the person's plight, because if you've ever read another post by me you know my feelings there... but
this really amusing. Someone actually thinks a court in this country is going to decide that a massive government conspiracy caused the death of this
woman's husband.

Let's say for a moment that there was in fact a huge government conspiracy like these people are alleging. If she's right, what sort of idiot would
believe that a lawsuit would be decided in her favor by judges appointed by that same corrupt system.

I find that most lawyers wind up more obsessed with a flash of fame than anything else. Maybe he'll do a nice job with this interesting claim and
get himself a Court TV program, or become a "judge" on Network television.

This ''open letter'' is coming from my heart. I want you to know that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and that this is not an attempt to
''bash the Government''.

You Mr. Bush should be held responsible and liable for any and all acts that were committed to aid in any "cover up" of the tragic events of
September 11, 2001. As President you have a duty to protect the American people. On September 11th you did not instruct your staff to issue a
nationwide emergency warning/alert to advise us of the attack on America. We had to receive the news of the attacks via the news networks.

In the months leading up to the attacks you were repeatedly advised of a possible attack on American soil. During your daily intelligence briefings
you were given information that had been uncovered that the very real possibility existed that certain undesirable elements would use commercial
aircraft to destroy certain "target" buildings. You never warned the American people of this possible threat. Who were you protecting?

When you took no responsibility towards protecting the general public from the possibility of attack, you were certainly not upholding the oath you
spoke when you took office. In that oath you pledged to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.

On the morning of the attack, you and members of your staff were fully aware of the unfolding events yet you chose to continue on to the Emma E.
Booker Elementary School to proceed with a scheduled event and "photo op". While our nation was under attack you did not appear to blink an eye or
shed a tear. You continued on as if everything was "business as usual".

In the days following the attacks all air traffic was grounded and Americans, including myself, were stranded wherever they had been when the flight
ban was imposed. I was stranded at Midway Airport in Chicago, unable to continue on to California for my daughter's wedding. Imagine my surprise when
I later found out that during this "no fly" period a number of people were flown out of the country on a 747 with Arabic lettering on the fuselage.
None of these people were interviewed or questioned by any local, State or Federal agencies. Why were they allowed to leave and who exactly was on
that flight. We know for a fact that some of the people on the flight were members of (or related to) the royal family of Saudi Arabia and members of
the Bin Laden family. Were these people allowed to leave because of the long-standing relationships that your family has with both families?

It is my belief that you intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen to gather public support for a "war on terrorism". These wars, in Afghanistan and
Iraq, have not accomplished what you stated were your goals. Why have you not captured Osama Bin Laden? Where are Saddam's weapons of mass
destruction? All that has happened is a bill that is passed before Congress for 87 billion dollars to rebuild what you ordered blown to bits. As an
American who lost a loved one in the "war on terror" I do pray and support our troops who were sent to Afghanistan and Iraq by you. These troops
have and will continue to die for your lies. As an American I can make this statement as it appears that associates of your family may stand to
prosper from the rebuilding of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Mr. Bush the time has come for you to stop your control over us. Stop blocking the release of certain evidence and documents that were discovered by
the 9/11 Investigation Commission if you have nothing to hide proving you did not fail to act and prevent the attacks of 9/11. Your reason for not
releasing this material is that it is a matter of "national security". When in fact I believe that it is your personal credibility/security that you
are concerned with. You do not want the public to know the full extent of your responsibility and involvement.

After 9/11 the Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act were passed. Both of these allow the government to tap your telephone, search your home, and
seize whatever they feel they need to do on a whim. They can do this without a judge's review or a warrant. I feel that this is in direct conflict
with our rights as stated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

We the families of 9/11 victims need to have answers to the following questions:

4. Why can't we gain access to the complete air traffic control records for Flight 11 and Flight 175?

5. Where are the airport surveillance tapes that show the passengers boarding the doomed flights?

6. When will complete passenger lists for all of the flights be released?

7. Why did your brother Jeb (the Governor of Florida) go to the offices of the Hoffman Aviation School and order that flight records and files be
removed? These files were then put on a C130 government cargo plane and flown out of the country. Where were they taken and who ordered it done?

It has been over two years since hundreds of our lost loved ones "remains" have still yet to be identified and their remains placed in a landfill at
Fresh Kill. We want our heroes brought back and given a public and proud resting place where we all can pay our respects and honor them. These
innocent people never had a chance as they were taken from us on that sad September Day.

In the court of public opinion Mr. Bush, your lies are being uncovered each day. My husband, all of the other victims and their families and our
nation as a whole, has been victimized by your failed leadership prior to and after 9/11!

That a corrupt administration needs as much brought out in the daylight as possible, and it needs to be done continously.
Or in other word, I never dropped anyone with a punch to the arm....but enough of them had those hands drop....and the head followed!

Believing and Proving are two different things...and even if the court believed her...she'd still fail at "proving" anything, because all the US
has to say is "sorry, that's a matter of national security" and evidence cannot be brought in...

Therefore, she, and her lawyer are fools...

I agree with her, and would love to see her win, but it isn't going to happen....

I think Bout Time hit it on the heead. Its not a matter of winning or losing. Its a matter of forcing the question so as to make Bush seem complicit
thru silence (which he is).

Well, at least she's making an effort. She's willing to stand up and fight, what seems to be, a losing battle. Call her moronic, if you'd like,
but I prefer to call her courageously resistant.

Making an attempt to have your voice heard, and taking a stab at the 'justice' system, certainly accomplishes more than, let's say, sitting behind
this monitor typing about the same #.

I guess all you can really hope for is that it might open the eyes of some people. Maybe if this gets a lot of attention it'll make people question
what's going on. I guess, to be sappy, that too would be a victory.

Oh, and after she gets murdered, they'll sprinkle some PCP or coc aine on her, and say she committed suicide.

I think the whole nation should be applauding this women for fighting for what is right and standing up against a towering opponent. This is anoble
effort to bring out the truth about 9/11 and although I don't think she will win she should becuase she is telling the truth. Hopefully this will
force the administration to release all the stuff they have hidden about 9/11.
