9,11:米国で唯一の民主党議員はシンシア・マッキニー?
ここに、2005年2月16日の合衆国連邦議会におけるシンシア・マッキニーの発言のビデオ抜粋と文字に書き起こした文章がある。そこで彼女は、2001年9月11日に行われた四つの軍事演習が、マイケル・C・ルパートの本『ルビコン河を渡って』に従えば、空軍の迎撃を不能にすることを本当のテロリストに許した策略だったのではないかという疑問を取り上げる。この国会議員は、この作戦の真の事情を明らかにするよう求めて行政側をはっきりと窮地に立たせている。
―― 彼女は(註:一度落選したが、昨年11月にジョージア州第4区から出て当選、再び民主党下院議員)2月16日の議会で、ラムズフェルド国防長官への質問の場を予約した。テレビカメラの前で、真実と民主主義に飢えている何百万の米国人が聞きたくてウズウズしている疑問を述べることになる。2001年9月11日の軍事演習とは一体何なのか?
(以下はシンシア・マッキニー議員の発言内容=英文)
Donald Rumsfeld : (...) put down the names of everyone left, and we'll get'em down for breakfast sometimes in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
Duncan Hunter : OK.
Cynthia McKinney : Mr. Chairman, I have a question.
Duncan Hunter : The Gentle-lady is recognized.
McKinney : Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Would that breakfast with the Secretary be open to the public ? Hunter : Well, if you want to bring all the omelets it might be, but ah -
McKinney : Well Mr. Chairman, the problem is - and I appreciate your adherence to the five-minute rule - however there are many of us who have important questions and my question in particular is about the four war games that were taking place on September 11th and how they may have impaired our ability to respond to those attacks. Mr. Hunter : Well let me say the gentle lady...
[cross talk]
McKinney : I would like that question to be answered in public Mr. Chairman.
Hunter : Let me say to the gentle lady we're going to have other opportunities to have the Secretary in front of us and what we will do beyond having questions, if you want a question for the record, be able to put that to the record and have the answer on the record, but additionally at the next event where the Secretary testifies - we'll try to make sure that happens - we will start with the folks who did not get their question answered so you will have an opportunity.
McKinney : Thank you so much Mr. Chairman, and I hope the record is still open so that even that portion of my comment will be on this record.
Hunter : It will be so ordered.
McKinney : Thank you Mr. Chairman.
