The US National Archives released photos showing former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney after the attacks on September 11, 2001.

The never-before-seen 9/11 photos show George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and senior officials in their immediate response to the attacks.

The photos, taken by then-Vice President Dick Cheney’s staff photographer, show the scene inside the president’s Emergency Operations Center as officials worked the phones amid the fallout.

Dick Cheney is seen in several photos watching on a small square television in his office as smoke billows from the World Trade Center, and other photos show him with his glasses off and hands clasped.

Former CIA Director George Tenet, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of State Colin Powell are seen in the photographs, along with first lady Laura Bush.

Many photos show blank or grim expressions as officials speak among themselves or watch President George W. Bush address the nation hours after the attacks.

The photos were released as part of a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Colette Hanna, a documentary coordinating producer for films appearing on Frontline.

More than 350 photos from 9/11 can be viewed on the US National Archives’ Flickr page here.

North Jersey Media Group Inc. is suing Sarah Palin and her political action committee for a copyright infringement over the use of an iconic 9/11 photo.

The publisher is suing the former Alaska governer for posting a copy of the image on Sarah Palin’s SarahPAC website and her personal Facebook page without permission.

The photo depicts three New York City firefighters hoisting an American flag among the rubble at the World Trade Center after the 2001 attacks.

The lawsuit filed Friday in Manhattan asks a federal court to stop SarahPAC from using the picture. It also seeks unspecified damages.

NJMG publishes The Record and Herald News newspapers as well as 40 weekly community papers, a dozen magazines and two websites.

The indelible Ground Zero image depicting soot-covered first responders was taken by The Record photographer Thomas E. Franklin.

According to the lawsuit, the copyright on the photo was registered in October 2001, Newsday reported.

A year later, the U.S. Postal Service used the image on a stamp called “Heroes”, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

The NJMG federal suit says that by using the picture “to promote Sarah Palin and to raise money for SarahPAC” the 2008 vice-presidential candidate has “irreparably damaged” the newspaper company.

The photo was pulled from Sarah Palin’s Facebook page Friday, according to The Alaska Dispatch.

It had drawn more than 140,000 “likes” and some 1,500 comments.
