John Howell, 9/11 and Guantanamo Bay

The Freeman Report

On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked. Terrorists flew planes into both World Trade Center towers in New York. George DiPasquale was a firefighter working at his precinct near the towers that morning. He and nine of his fellow crew members ran towards the towers and eventually entered the north tower. None of the ten, along with countless others made it home that day.
John Howell is the brother of George DiPasquale and was working about 100 yards from the towers. He, like so many others, initially thought a small plane had flown into one of the towers and new the area would be cordoned off to investigate so he headed away. He had no idea his brother George was working that day, nor did he know George had run to the towers. It was not until later did he realize and it was then that he went back to the towers looking for George.
John's pursuit of the truth is unbending and he has been to Guantanamo Bay twice and stared into the eyes of Kalid Sheik Mohammed. Many of us want to know why KSM and his co-conspirators are still alive. John may wander that too at times but his personal quest has led to a different understanding of what justice may mean than to you or I.
