Obama adviser quits over 9/11 comments
Van Jones has been embroiled in a controversy over past inflammatory statements that suggested a government role in the 2001 terror attacks Washington — The Associated Press Last updated on Sunday, Sep. 06, 2009 01:30PM EDT http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1277838/ Mr. Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly “green jobs” with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans... The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Mr. Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Mr. Jones's name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur. |
