9/11
Questions
Top Officials Question the
9/11 Commission Report
www.WantToKnow.info/officialsquestion911commissionreport
Many
respected senior members of the military, intelligence services, and
government have expressed significant criticism of the 9/11 Commission
Report. Some even allege government complicity in the terrible acts of 9/11.
Below are the highly revealing public statements on this vital topic of over
50 prominent public servants with links for verification and further
investigation.
The
collective voices of these respected senior officials along with over
100 esteemed professors, over
200 pilots and aviation professionals, and hundreds
of architects and engineers give credibility to the claim that the 9/11
Commission Report is tragically flawed. These dedicated individuals from
across the political spectrum are not irresponsible believers in some 9/11
conspiracy theory. Their sincere concern, backed by decades of service to
their country, demonstrate that criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report is
not only reasonable and responsible, it is in fact a patriotic duty.

 | Boston Globe Article 11/13/03:
"If this decision stands [to limit 9/11 Commission access to
White House documents], I, as a member of the commission, cannot
look any American in the eye, especially family members of
victims, and say the commission had full access. This
investigation is now compromised."

U.S. District Court Judge for Southern District of New York, appointed
by President George H.W. Bush. Former Deputy United States Attorney in
New York. Former FBI agent. Former officer in United States Army.
 | Wall Street Journal 11/17/05: "Even
the most junior investigator would immediately know that the name
and photo ID of [lead 9/11 hijacker Mohammed] Atta in 2000 is
precisely the kind of tactical intelligence the FBI has many times
employed to prevent attacks and arrest terrorists. Yet the 9/11
Commission inexplicably concluded that it 'was not historically
significant.' This astounding conclusion—in combination with the
failure to investigate Able
Danger and incorporate it into its findings—raises serious
challenges to the commission's credibility and, if the facts prove
out, might just render the commission historically insignificant
itself. No wonder the 9/11 families were outraged by these
revelations and called for a 'new' commission."

measured pieces of Soviet equipment from photographs. It was my
job. I look at the hole in the Pentagon and I look at the size of
an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon. And I
said, ‘The plane does not fit in that hole’. So what did hit
the Pentagon? What hit it? Where is it? What's going on?" http://www.undersiegemovie.com...

 | Video: "A lot of these pieces of
information, taken together, prove that the official story ... of
9/11 is a bunch of hogwash. It’s impossible. … There’s a
second group of facts having to do with the cover up. Taken
together these things prove that high levels of our government
don’t want us to know what happened. Who gained from 9/11? Who
covered up crucial information? And who put out the patently false
stories about 9/11 in the first place? I think the case is pretty
clear that it’s highly placed individuals in the administration
with all roads passing through Dick Cheney. I think the very
kindest thing that we can say about George W. Bush and all the
people in the U.S. Government that have been involved in this
massive cover-up ... is that they were aware of impending attacks
and let them happen. However even that is high treason and
conspiracy to commit murder." http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid...

 | Video: "I think at simplest terms,
there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 report is a joke. The question is:
What’s being covered up? Is it gross malfeasance, gross
negligence? Now there are a whole bunch of unanswered questions.
And the reason they’re unanswered is because this administration
will not answer the questions. This is the bottom line for me;
just as Hitler in 1933 cynically exploited the burning of the
parliament building, the Reichstag, this is exactly what our
President did in exploiting 9/11. The cynical way in which he
played on our trauma, used it to justify attacking, making a war
of aggression on a country that he knew had nothing to do with
9/11. That suffices for me. That’s certainly an impeachable
offense." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwu0bNaUcOU

Air Force fighter pilot, over 100 combat missions. Commercial pilot
for Pan Am and United Airlines for 35 years. Had previously flown the
actual two United airplanes that were hijacked on 9/11.
 | Article: "'The government story they
handed us about 9/11 is total B.S.' Wittenberg convincingly argued
there was absolutely no possibility that Flight 77 could have
'descended 7,000 feet in two minutes, all the while performing a
steep 270 degree banked turn before crashing into the Pentagon's
first floor wall.'
'For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an
ace is impossible,' said Wittenberg, recalling that when he made
the jump from Boeing 727s to the highly sophisticated computerized
characteristics of the 737s through 767s, it took him considerable
time to feel comfortable flying." http://www.arcticbeacon.com....
 | Audio Interview 9/16/04: "[Flight 77]
could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did
without going into what they call a high speed stall. The airplane
won’t go that fast if you start pulling those high G maneuvers
at those bank angles. To expect this alleged airplane to run these
maneuvers with a total amateur at the controls is simply
ludicrous." http://911underground.com/... |

Mr. Cossiga commenting on a purported new video from Osama bin
Laden: "The non-authenticity of the video is supported by the
fact that Osama bin Laden in it 'confessed' that Al Qaeda was
responsible for the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York.
However, all of the democratic areas of America and of Europe,
with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know full well
that the disastrous attack was planned and executed by the
American CIA and Mossad ... to falsely incriminate Arabic
countries and to persuade the Western Powers to intervene in Iraq
and Afghanistan." Original article in Italian: http://www.corriere.it/politica/07_novembre...

Col. George Nelson
|
Col. George Nelson, U.S. Air Force (ret) –
Former U.S. Air Force aircraft accident investigator and airplane
parts authority. 34-year Air Force career.
 | Essay: "The government alleges that four
wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September 11 2001,
resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not
one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an
attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On the
contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was
deliberately kept hidden.
With all the evidence readily available at the Pentagon
crash site, any unbiased rational investigator could only conclude
that a Boeing 757 did not fly into the Pentagon. Similarly, with
all the evidence available at the Pennsylvania crash site, it was
most doubtful that a passenger airliner caused the obvious hole in
the ground and certainly not the Boeing 757 as alleged.
As painful and heartbreaking as was the loss of innocent
lives and the lingering health problems of thousands more, a most
troublesome and nightmarish probability remains that so many
Americans appear to be involved in the most heinous conspiracy in
our country's history." http://www.physics911.net/georgenelson.... |

American Battle Monuments Commission. From 1990 to 1994, served as
Military Historian and Deputy Director of Field Operations for U.S.
Marine Corps Historical Center, Washington, D.C.
 | Article: "The former Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense under the Reagan Administration and a highly
decorated Vietnam veteran and Colonel has gone on the record to
voice his doubts about the official story of 9/11 - calling it
‘the dog that doesn't hunt.' Ray questioned the feasibility of
having a budget of half a trillion dollars a year, yet not even
being able to defend the Pentagon. 'Half a trillion dollars a year
and a bunch of guys over in a cave in Afghanistan were able to
penetrate that half a trillion dollar network that's supposed to
provide Americans with national security.'" http://www.prisonplanet.com/...

"Intelligence officers ... identified [lead 9/11
hijacker] Mohammed Atta and three terrorists a year before 9/11,
tried to transfer that information to the FBI, were denied, and
the FBI Director has now said ... the FBI could have used it to
perhaps prevent the hijackings. The 9/11 Commission totally
ignored this entire story.
I am a strong supporter of our military. I am a strong
supporter of President Bush. I say all of that, Mr. Speaker,
because ... there is something desperately wrong here. I have met
with at least 10 people who fully corroborate what [intelligence
officer] Tony
Shaffer says. This is not [about] Republicans or Democrats. It
is about what is fundamental to this country."

investigation of these claims – to not simply dismiss them based
on what many now believe was a “preconceived” conclusion to
the 9/11 story they wished to tell. … I consider this a failure

The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-Page Lie
9/11 Commission
by Dr. David Ray Griffin
Sunday, May 22, 2005
www.911truth.org
In discussing my second 9/11 book, The 9/11 Commission Report:
Omissions and Distortions, I have often said, only half in jest, that a
better title might have been "a 571-page lie." (Actually, I was saying
"a 567-page lie," because I was forgetting to count the four pages of
the Preface.) In making this statement, one of my points has been that
the entire Report is constructed in support of one big lie: that the
official story about 9/11 is true.
Another point, however, is that in the process of telling this overall
lie, The 9/11 Commission Report tells many lies about particular
issues. This point is implied by my critique's subtitle, "Omissions and
Distortions." It might be thought, to be sure, that of the two types of
problems signaled by those two terms, only those designated
"distortions" can be considered lies.
It is better, however, to understand the two terms as referring to two
types of lies: implicit and explicit. We have an explicit lie when the
Report claims that the core of each of the Twin Towers consisted of a
hollow steel shaft or when it claims that Vice President Cheney did not
give the shoot-down order until after 10:10 that morning. But we have
an implicit lie when the Commission, in its discussion of the 19
alleged suicide hijackers, omits the fact that at least six of them
have credibly been reported to be still alive, or when it fails to
mention the fact that Building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed.
Such omissions are implicit lies partly because they show that the
Commission did not honor its stated intention "to provide the fullest
possible account of the events surrounding 9/11." They are also lies
insofar as the Commission could avoid telling an explicit lie about the
issue in question only by not mentioning it, which, I believe, was the
case in at least most instances.
Given these two types of lies, it might be wondered how many lies are
contained in The 9/11 Commission Report. I do not know. But, deciding
to see how many lies I had discussed in my book, I found that I had
identified over 100 of them. Once I had made the list, it occurred to
me that others might find this summary helpful. Hence this article.
One caveat: Although in some of the cases it is obvious that the
Commission has lied, in other cases I would say, as I make clear in the
book, that it appears that the Commission has lied. However, in the
interests of simply giving a brief listing of claims that I consider to
be lies, I will ignore this distinction between obvious and probable
lies, leaving it to readers, if they wish, to look up the discussion in
The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions. For ease in
doing this, I have parenthetically indicated the pages of the book on
which the various issues are discussed.
Given this clarification, I now list the omissions and claims of The
9/11 Commission Report that I, in my critique of that report, portrayed
as lies:
