How the Sept 11th victims’ families search for answers was met with Stonewalling, Lies and Political Theatre, by Ray McGinnis

The September 11 victim’s families have been striving for answers and justice for over twenty years now, and to date they’ve received neither. From Ray McGinnis at propagandainfocus.com:

Lorie Van Auken was one of a dozen members of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Independent Commission.
