The Anniversary of 9/11

9/11 Commissioners:

• 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says http://www.cbc.ca/sunday/911hamilton.html" target="_blank" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20070108233707/http://www.cbc.ca/sunday/911hamilton.html">"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 http://www.pogo.org/m/hsp/hsp-911commission-040913.pdf" target="_blank" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20060615005757/http://www.pogo.org/m/hsp/hsp-911commission-040913.pdf">“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
  http://www.prisonplanet.tv/audio/170107paul.mp3" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20070121184445/http://www.prisonplanet.tv/audio/170107paul.mp3" target="_blank">"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 9/11

• Current Republican Congressman Jason Chafetz says that we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11

• Former 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
  job

If 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
  responsibility

• Deputy 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 Commission

If 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.
