Peter Boyles<\/strong> <\/a>and I had a great chat on the cover-up of the potential Saudi role in the 9\/11 attacks on KNUS radio<\/a> in Denver this morning (spurred by my USA Today oped <\/a>on that topic).\u00a0 Peter is one of the best informed talk show hosts I have spoken with in a long time.\u00a0 He was blunt that the case for invading Iraq was concocted and he wants to know the truth behind the Bush administration’s machinations.\u00a0And he\u00a0stressed that the U.S. government tortured confessions from detainees to justify the invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n

In the first minutes of the interview, he kindly drew out my bio after labeling me a “Pittsburgh homey.”\u00a0 And I appreciated that he loved the title of Public Policy Hooligan<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The MP3 files of the interview are just below a few\u00a0of my\u00a0outtake lines from\u00a0the interview:<\/p>\n

*We cannot have self-government if politicians can con the nation into war.<\/p>\n

*The federal government is blindfolding the American people and dragging us into another Middle East quagmire.<\/p>\n

*The Bush admin. dropped an Iron Curtain around 9\/11 & intentionally misled the American people.<\/p>\n

*The 2002 congressional report showed that federal agencies massively screwed up & paved the way to 9\/11.<\/p>\n

*Walter Jones is almost a novelty – a member of Congress who learns. He has shown great courage in risking his career to stand up for what he believes in.<\/p>\n

* Politicians have learned that saber rattling brings in very large contributions from billionaires.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0We know that the Saudis are sowing all kinds of chaos in the Middle East now -bankroling ISIS, bombing Yemen, itching to overthrow the Syrian govt…<\/p>\n

*Thanks to presidential records laws, we may have to wait 25 years or longer to learn the real reasons why Bush invaded Iraq.<\/p>\n

*We have Attention Deficit Democracy on Capitol Hill – most congressmen are ignorant on most of the things they vote on.<\/p>\n

*We have no idea who the good guys or bad guys are in the Middle East – if there are any good guys.<\/p>\n

* The U.S. government has been off the leash of the law and the Constitution for many years, back to the Vietnam war<\/p>\n

Boyles asked me what I thought would happen if and when the truth about 9\/11 came out.\u00a0 I replied, \u201cThere have been so many times since 9\/11 that damning information would come out and I thought – \u201cThis is finally going to wake people up!\u201d\u00a0 There were revelations about the torture scandal that I thought would enrage people convince them the government had gone too far. But I have been wrong every time.\u00a0 The fact is, I have been far too optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/jimbovard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Peter-Boyles-Saudis-9-11-pb_100115_hr3-Part.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\nhttp:\/\/jimbovard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Peter-Boyles-Saudis-9-11-pb_100115_hr32-Part.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
