The Anniversary of 9/11

The Anniversary of 9/11



Don't want to hear this?

Tough.   Grow up.
 9/11 Commissioners:
 The 9/11 Commission's co-chairs said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements (free subscription required)           9/11          Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says "I
  don't believe for a minute we got everything right", that the  
Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions 
 about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue
                                    9/11          Commissioner Timothy Roemer said           "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"
                   9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It          is a national scandal"; "This          investigation is now compromised"; and "One
  of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 
issue  is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover 
it up"
                          9/11          Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There
  are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to 
what  we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ."  He also said
 that the investigation depended too  heavily on the accounts of Al 
Qaeda detainees who were physically  coerced into talking              And the          Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) - who led the 9/11 staff's          inquiry - recently said "At some level of the government, at some point in time...there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also said  "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was  described
 .... The tapes told a radically different story from what had  been 
told to us and the public for two years.... This is not spin. This  is 
not true."  And he said:
 "It's almost a culture of concealment, for lack of a better word.  
There were interviews made at the FAA's New York center the night of  
9/11 and those tapes were destroyed. The CIA tapes of the interrogations
  were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to put it mildly, was  distorted and was completely different from the way things happened"  If even the 9/11 Commissioners don't buy the official story, why do you?

Senior intelligence officers:
Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said  that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive  than the Pentagon Papers".
 He also said that the government is ordering  the media to cover up her
 allegations about 9/11. And he said that some  of the claims concerning
 government involvement in 9/11 are credible,  that "very serious 
questions have been raised about what they [U.S.  government officials] 
knew beforehand and how much involvement there  might have been", that 
engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or  psychologically beyond the 
scope of the current administration, and that  there's enough evidence 
to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation  into 9/11 with subpoenas
 and testimony taken under oath (see this and this) A
  27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and  
personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan 
 and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the 
 Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials  
(Raymond McGovern) said “I think at simplest terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke”  A
  29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and  
former Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis  
(William Bill Christison) said “I
  now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September 
did  not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would
  have us believe (and see this)A
  number of intelligence officials, including a CIA Operations Officer  
who co-chaired a CIA multi-agency task force coordinating intelligence  
efforts among many intelligence and law enforcement agencies (Lynne  
Larkin) sent a joint letter to Congress expressing their concerns about “serious
  shortcomings,” “omissions,” and “major flaws” in the 9/11 Commission  
Report and offering their services for a new investigation (they were  
ignored) A  decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who 
Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative  reporter Seymour Hersh called 
"perhaps the best on-the-ground field  officer in the Middle East”, and 
whose astounding career formed the  script for the Academy Award winning
 motion picture Syriana (Robert  Baer) said that "the evidence points at" 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job 
The
  Division Chief of the CIA’s Office of Soviet Affairs, who served as  
Senior Analyst from 1966 - 1990. He also served as Professor of  
International Security at the National War College from 1986 - 2004  
(Melvin Goodman) said "The final [9/11 Commission] report is ultimately a coverup"                If even our country's top intelligence officers don't buy the official story, why do you?

Congressmen:
According
  to the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head
  of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, an
  FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 
and  that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI  
refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a  
high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House (confirmed here)         Current Democratic U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy said "The
  two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11  
happen on George Bush's watch when he had clear warnings that it was  
going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"Current Republican Congressman Ron Paul calls            for a new 9/11 investigation and states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"Current Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich hints            that we aren't being told the truth about 9/11Current Republican Congressman Jason Chafetz says that we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11Former Democratic Senator Mike Gravel states that he            supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don't know the truth about            9/11                  Former            Republican Senator Lincoln Chaffee endorses            a new 9/11 investigation
         Former            U.S. Democratic Congressman Dan Hamburg doesn't believe the official version of events         Former
  U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed  
Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the  
Military Research and Development Subcommittee Curt Weldon has shown  
that the U.S.            tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about            explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11            was an inside jobIf there is bipartisan questioning of the official story, why aren't you questioning it?

Other government officials:
U.S.
  General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme 
Allied  Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, 
and  Purple Heart (General Wesley Clark) said "We've
  never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the 
administration  actually misused the intelligence information it had. 
The evidence  seems pretty clear to me. I've seen that for a long time"Former
  Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and  
Carter (Morton Goulder), former Deputy Director to the White House Task 
 Force on Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State 
 Foreign Service Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who's who
  of liberals and independents) jointly call                  for a new investigation into 9/11 Former
  Federal Prosecutor, Office of Special Investigations, U.S. Department 
 of Justice under Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan; former U.S.
  Army Intelligence officer, and currently a widely-sought media  
commentator on terrorism and intelligence services (John Loftus) says
  "The information provided by European intelligence services prior to  
9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA  
or FBI to assert a defense of incompetence"The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that  President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting responsibilityDeputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan (Col. Ronald D. Ray) said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt"The former director of the FBI (Louis Freeh) says                  there was a cover up by the 9/11 CommissionIf top government officials are skeptical, why aren't you?

Numerous other politicians, judges, legal scholars, and attorneys also question at least some aspects of the government's version of 9/11.
