Congressman Jason Chafetz just said that
we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11.
He joins quite a few other 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
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 9/11
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 says that the U.S.
government "assisted" in the 9/11 attacks, stating that
"I think there was a lot of help from the inside"
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
And 9/11 Commissioners:
The 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.
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 . . . ."
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 senior intelligence officers:
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)
Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg
recentlysaid 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.
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", and is open
to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job.
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. ... All three [buildings that were destroyed in the
World Trade Center] were most probably destroyed by controlled
demolition charges placed in the buildings before 9/11."
(and seethis).
20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking
civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine
services case officer (David Steele) stated that "9/11 was
at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war", and
it was probably an inside job (scroll down to Customer Review
dated October 7, 2006).
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."
Professor of History and International Relations, University of
Maryland. Former Executive Assistant to the Director of the National
Security Agency, former military attaché in China, with
a 21-year career in U.S. Army Intelligence (Major John M. Newman,
PhD, U.S. Army) questions the government's version of the events
of 9/11.
And 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
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
President of the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board,
who also served as Pentagon Weapons Requirement Officer and as
a member of the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review, and who
was awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for Heroism, four Air
Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial Achievement
Medals (Lt. Col. Jeff Latas) is a member of a group which doubts
the government's version of 9/11
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
Director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program
in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior
air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions (Col. Robert Bowman)
stated: "If our government had merely [done] nothing, and
I say that as an old interceptor pilot-I know the drill, I know
what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures
are, I know what they were, and I know what they've changed them
to-if our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal
procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers
would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would
still be alive. [T]hat is treason!"
If he's nuts, Congressman Chafetz is in good company.
