Six Years Since 9/11 (DFA Radio tonight)

Written by: Lewis Miller on Sep 11, 2007 3:56 PM EDT

Tonight marks six years since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It has also been roughly six years since:

• President Bush claimed that Osama bin Laden would be captured for his role in the attacks, and then conveniently forgot about him.
• EPA Chair Christie Whitman claimed the air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe, while emergency responders and office workers began to experience respiratory ailments.
• It became obvious that when the president declared you were either "with us or against us", he meant you were either with Republicans or terrorists.

Listen to the live show tonight. Call in at (646) 716-8150 to talk about your story or thoughts on 9/11 and how it has affected our country & the political process.

Scheduled guests:

Robert Gulack, an attorney with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), returned to work at the Woolworth Building overlooking Ground Zero more than a month after the September 11th attacks, with the reassurances given by the EPA that the air was safe to breathe. Two days later, his lungs started seizing up. Today he remains on disability with Reactive Airway Disorder, which the US Department of Labor has confirmed was caused by dust that accumulated in the building in which he worked. Mr. Gulack continues to fight to bring attention to the injuries sustained by thousands of people in New York caused by the EPA's negligence, and the urgent need for testing and removal of World Trade Center dust contamination in the New York area. Most recently, Mr. Gulack spoke at the September 10, 2007 Discover Press Conference at Ground Zero.

Eric Massa, retired Naval Commander and Congressional candidate in New York State's 29th District. As a career military officer, Mr. Massa will discuss his three-component plan for dealing with the Iraq War.

If you missed last week's program, when we talked to candidates for the Louisiana State House two years after Katrina & upcoming Iraq War protests, you can still listen to it before tonight's show. Just visit the DFA Radio page on DFA's website.
