911 Truth Inside White House Bunker Col. R. Darling beside Dick Cheney & Condoleezza Rice

Sept. 11, 2001. Like Pearl Harbour and the Kennedy assassination before it, if you were alive that day you remember where you were. Our guest today remembers where he was as well. He was at the centre of the US command control in a sealed bunker below the White House. Beside sat Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice and directly behind him stood Vice President Dick Cheney. Lt. Col. Darling takes us step by step, blow by blow throughout all the shattering events that unfolded that day. The sheer volume of information flooding the bunker; how they discerned what was a real threat and had to be dealt with immediately; the real world order to scramble two F-15s to down Flight 93 heading on a collision course with the White House and the leaders of the free world. This is a story that non of us have had access to before. This is real history by a man in a command seat on the most horrible day in recent history.

Harvey Cashore The Truth Shows Up

Harvey Cashore has been a senior producer for CBC’s flagship investigative program, the fifth estate for twenty years where has prepared news-breaking documentaries on government mismanagement, international fraud, and justice-related issues. His in-depth work on the Airbus scandal began in 1994, and he is considered the top expert on the story.

He has been honoured with five Gemini Award nominations for Best Documentary and Best Information segment.  Canadians everywhere are familiar with the broad outlines of the infamous Airbus story. In recent years there have been countless news stories filed on what has become Canada’s biggest political scandal. What few know is the story of how this scandal was unearthed. How one determined journalist kept the story alive — kept picking at the pieces and posing the difficult questions the government would have preferred to avoid. The public had the right to know that millions of taxpayers’ dollars went missing in the sale of Airbus jets to a Canadian Crown Corporation, and they had a right to know where that money ended up. The Truth Shows Up is a compelling and fast-paced, behind-the-scenes journey with one journalist, and a team of colleagues, who followed this story from the very beginning. In 1994 Harvey Cashore, then an Associate Producer with CBC’s the fifth estate, was working on a news story about bribes in the airline industry. What he came across were the first fragments on what would become known as the Airbus scandal, a tale of bribes and kickbacks at the highest level of federal power.
