DECONSTRUCTING THE MYTH OF 9/11 and the GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR

DOCUMENTARY SCREENING: "LOOSE CHANGE" (IT IS ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY ACCLAIMED 9/11 TRUTH DOCUMENTARIES).

VENUE: MATARTHI PATRAKAR, CST, MUMBAI / DATE: 14TH SEPTEMBER '10 / TIME: 3pm to 5pm.

Project for the New American Century(Sept 2000) states that theprocess of transforming the US into"tomorrow's dominant force" islikely to be a long one in the absence of "some catastrophic andcatalyzing event like a New Pearl Harbour".

George Bush writes in his diary on 9/11-"The New Pearl Harbour of the21st century took place today".

Tony Blair "to be truthful about it, there was no way we could have got the public consent to have suddenly launched a campaign in Afghanistan but for what happened on Sept. 11". (Times July 17th 2002)

Benjamin Netanyahu (Prime minister of Israel) asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between US and Israel, he replied "it's very good then he edited himself;" -  "well not very good but it will generate immediate sympathy". ( New York Times Sept 12 2001)

The BBC's George Arney reported (Sept. 18 2001) that US officials had told former Pakistan Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik in mid-July of plans for Military action against the Taliban Regime which could occur in October.

Retired US General Anthony Zinni and former chief of the US Centralcommand: "Neocons in the Defense Department long ago urged an invasion of Iraq as a step towards US control of the Middle East. Everyone in Washington knows "Oil and Israel" are the real reasons for the war".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Undoubtedly the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks have been a defining moment in modern history. It has forever changed the trajectory of global politics. 9/11 was not a bolt out of the blue, but occurred in a political and socio-economic global context that needs to be analyzed if we are to deconstruct the myth of 9/11 and the Global Wat on Terror (GWT). "9/11" is the showpiece of the GWT declared by the George Bush Junta and their doctrine of "preventive wars" that has pushed the world into a state of "perpetual warfare". After the lies of the Iraq war were exposed, Bush & now Obama continue to use 9/11 to justify their policies of wars & terror. It is 9/11 that has become the centrepiece of the Globalization of Islamophobia. Thus in order to combat the deception and hypocricy of the GWT, we have to expose the true reasons as well as the perpetrators who planned and executed the 9/11 terror attack.

This section is a collection of their public statements.  It should be made clear that none of these individuals are affiliated with this website. Listed below are statements by 110 professors that contradict or are critical of the 9/11 Commission Report.  Their collective voices give credibility to the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed. These individuals cannot be simply dismissed as irresponsible believers in some 9/11 conspiracy theory. Their sincere concern, backed by their dedication to researching and teaching the truth about a wide variety of subjects, demonstrates that criticism of the Commission Report is not inherently irresponsible or illogical, and that, in fact, it can be just the opposite. If you are a professor who has concerns about the 9/11 Commission Report and would like your comment added to this website, please contact me.  –  Alan Miller Demand a New 9/11 Investigation!

This point is implied by my critique's subtitle, 'Omissions and Distortions.' ... 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.

Hempel (2003), The Evolution of Intelligence (2004), Render Unto Darwin: Philosophical Aspects of the Christian Right's Crusade Against Science (2007). Essay 9/11: Rational Beliefs are not Paranoid 12/8/06: "The impact of the planes cannot have caused enough damage to bring the [World Trade Center] buildings down, since the buildings were designed to withstand them (as Frank De Martini, the project manager, has observed), the planes that hit were very similar to those they were designed to withstand, and they continued to stand after those impacts with negligible effects. ... WTC-7 [570 feet tall, 47 stories, and not hit by an airplane] came down in a classic controlled demolition at 5:20 PM/ET after Larry Silverstein suggested the best thing to do might be to "pull it", displaying all the characteristics of classic controlled demolitions: a complete, abrupt, and total collapse into its own footprint, where the floors are all falling at the same time, and so forth, an event so embarrassing to the official account that it is not even mentioned in THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT. The hit point at the Pentagon was too small to accommodate a 100-ton airliner with a 125-foot wingspan and a tail that stands 44 feet above the ground; the kind and quantity of debris was wrong for a Boeing 757: no wings, no fuselage, no seats, no bodies, no luggage, no tail! Which means that the building was not hit by a Boeing 757. ... There are more, especially about the alleged hijackers, including that they were not competent to fly the planes and their names were not on any passenger manifest. Several have turned up alive and well and living in the Middle East. The government has not even produced their tickets as evidence that they actually could have boarded the aircraft they are alleged to have hijacked. Did Osama call from a cave in Afghanistan and charge them to his MasterCard?" http://www.scholarsfor911truth Co-founder Scholars for 9/11 Truth: Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

Essay: "Until recently I dismissed the suggestions that the Bush administration might have been complicit in allowing 9/11 to happen as groundless "conspiracy theory." ... Thus it was with some skepticism that I agreed to read the new book written by David Ray Griffin ... that argues the case for just such complicity ... The New Pearl Harbor. ... Griffin writes in a precise and careful fashion, avoiding inflammatory rhetoric. He argues for a high probability for the Bush's administrations complicity with allowing and facilitating the attacks, based not on any one conclusive piece of evidence, but the sheer accumulation of all of the data. He concludes by calling for a genuinely independent investigative effort that would examine all this evidence. ... I personally found Griffin's book both convincing and chilling. If the complicity of the Bush Administration to which he points is true, then Americans have a far greater problem on their hands than even the more ardent anti-war critics have imagined. If the administration that would do this, what else would they do to maintain and expand their power?" http://www.thewitness.org Signatory: Petition requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11:     "We want truthful answers to question. …  As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things: An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings.

Contributor to 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out 8/23/06: "The documented details that expose 9/11 denial will not be repeated here, because this volume and others have already reported them.  They are impressively massive in confirming – and are not balanced by any facts disconfirming – the long open pathway to the attacks and the blocking of all independent inquiry since then." Signatory: Petition For An Independent International 9/11 Truth Commission. "[T]he Bush administration has never offered a detailed and documented account of its claims about the events of 9-11 which have allegedly revolutionized human affairs. Nor has it explained obvious and serious discrepancies in its own statements and actions. No systematic proof has ever been published or offered as to who the terrorists were, how they operated, where they came from, and why they were not stopped. ... The Kean-Hamilton panel's limited funding from Congress makes a mockery of the tragedy of 9-11, considering that it is only a small fraction of the huge sums spent to investigate Bill Clinton. We therefore call upon statesmen, thinkers, journalists, investigators, artists, scientists, jurists, academics, humanitarians, religious leaders, activists and other eminent personalities from around the world to form an Independent International Truth Commission dedicated to preventing unproven assertions about 9-11 from setting the stage for a new world conflagration." http://iitc.911review.org/ Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth  Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

But its exact significance is an exceedingly contentious question notwithstanding the seeming clarity of prevailing accounts. David Ray Griffin deconstructs those accounts with a host of unresolved puzzles strongly suggestive of some sort of culpable complicity by US officials in the event.

Endorsement Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action: "Are we brave enough to read this nerve-wracking book, one of the most important theological texts of our time? Rooted in the longstanding belief that Christians share responsibility for shaping a more justice-loving world, Griffin makes a strong case that the real "conspiracy theory" about 9/11 is the Bush Administration's silly notion that nineteen young Arab men could have pulled it off. Griffin helps us wrestle with questions that are almost too much to bear, yet which may empower us, if we dare, to build a more truthful and, over time, more deeply moral nation and world." http://www.miraesoft.com Bio: http://www.eds.edu/sec.asp?cat=78&page=74

Review of The New Pearl Harbor 4/12/04: "A new book written by David Ray Griffin, a professor of theology at Claremont School of Theology, raises significant and pungent questions about the involvement of the Bush administration in the tragedy now known as 9/11. This book reads like a fine detective novel. Nonetheless, its author has done his research very carefully and it is in the marshalling of the evidence that the suspense is created. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this book in bringing to our attention facts that challenge any attempt of the administration to explain away its responsibility, or even complicity, in the events of 9/11. Whatever you now think of the Bush administration and its handling of 9/11, this book is must, essential reading because it presents in careful, scholarly manner facts that have to be dealt with in any further analysis of the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath, the war on terrorism. ... In closing this review I want to make two comments. First is to commend Professor Griffin for an independent, careful and systematic examination of the evidence. He has set before us sufficient data on which to base an impartial opinion of the 9/11 event. Secondly, the conclusions of this book make it abundantly clear that we have the greatest problem in our history on our hands, far greater than the Nixon Watergate scandal. We seem to be being led like sheep into an imperialist stance in which America is to rule the world for the sake of American business and profit." http://www.amazon.com

Goggin, EdD – Professor Emerita of Religious Education, Knox College, University of Toronto.  Contributing author, Theologies of Religious Education (1995).  Author, Study Guide to A New 95 Theses (2004). Review of The New Pearl Harbor 4/3/04: "David Ray Griffin, a professor at the School of Theology at Claremont is a respected scholar and researcher in his field who has an interest in the workings of government. Though an academic, he has written a very accessible book on the most complex event in the recent history of the United States - The New Pearl Harbor, Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11.  The book makes no accusations but presents the accumulative questions and the events on which they are based in a manner that is compellingly persuasive of the need for a new fully independent investigative commission to be struck; this time to look at the time prior to, during the day itself and since that terrible day.  In total the questions and events ask - was the Bush administration complicit in the events of 9/11?  Yes, no one wants to believe such a possibility but the unanswered questions are startling. ... This is the most disturbing and chilling book I have ever read.  In an election year these questions need to be answered not only for the American people but also for your neighbours next door in Canada.  This is a must read !" http://www.amazon.com Review of The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions 5/5/05: "David Ray Griffin is a retired professor of theology and philosophy at the School of Theology in Claremont, California.  He is a respected scholar and researcher in the academic world.  However this book and his earlier one, The New Pearl Harbor, are essential reading for both Americans and Canadians. David raises many questions about the official account of 9/11 in his first book and now in this second one he goes through the findings of the 9/11 Commission which he believes both ignored and distorted the mounting evidence that the official story cannot be the correct one. ... Griffin spoke to an assembly at the University of Wisconsin recently and the address was shown on C-SPAN.  For him there is little doubt now that the Bush Administration was involved - why - probably the oil in Iraq. The responses to the address were shock and surprise but the evidence presented was overwhelming.  It is urgent for the people of both United States and Canada to at least become aware of the evidence presented in these two books.  People need to make up their own minds but the unanswered questions are deeply troubling." http://www.amazon.com

Review of The New Pearl Harbor 3/28/04: " 'Life is short, and the list of conspiracy theories is long,' says this author. So, why does he ask us to spend time on yet another supposedly far-out tale? A good initial reason is that he is David Ray Griffin, known from his other works to be an extremely meticulous and disciplined scholar and researcher. Carefully scrutinizing the evidence of the attacks of 9-11, the official explanations, and the work of critics, he presents the reader with numerous and disturbing questions. ... Griffin does not claim to have the final answers, only to have made a strong case that an independent, well-funded investigation is desperately needed. He makes his case a hundred times over." http://www.amazon.com Review of The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions 5/13/05: "Like its predecessor The New Pearl Harbor, David Ray Griffin's The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions challenges the received explanation of the 9/11 attacks--now given official sanction by the Commission--with an Everest of evidence showing the probable complicity of high-level members of the military and the present Administration. ... In the Introduction Griffin gives a key reason why the supposedly impartial Commission, staffed by five Republicans and five Democrats, carried out a highly partial investigation and produced a report that amounts to a coverup. A pivotal reason for this is that the commission's executive director, who "pick[ed] the areas of investigation, the briefing materials, the topics for hearings, the witnesses, and the lines of questioning . . ." was Philip Zelikow, who was deeply involved in the Bush administration. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that of the two main competing theories explaining 9/11--that Al Qaeda terrorists carried out the attacks alone, or that crucial US military and government figures were complicit--only the first is examined. The second theory is not considered, the evidence for it ignored or distorted." http://www.amazon.com Robert S.

Part I explores the question of how complicit members of the Bush administration were in the tragedy of 9/11. ...

Three towers (including WTC 7 [570 feet tall, 47 stories] now, which wasn't hit by a plane), the odds against this are astronomical." http://americanbuddhist.net/node/3390 Essay 8/21/06: Regarding the recorded oral accounts of 503 members of the Fire Department of New York taken by the Department shortly after 9/11.  "Claims that explosions contributed to the collapses were made on 9/11 and have persisted, but studies supportive of the U.S. government's account of events have ignored or denied these claims. ... We begin by facing the simple number of individual witnesses (118) and the even greater number of references, direct or indirect, in their accounts to explosions. We next have to deal with the rich, mutually supportive detail of these accounts. ... I cannot read this material without being struck by the ways in which the witnesses' testimony is not merely cumulative but complementary and multidimensional. ...

Griffin takes on the task of investigating the official account of the 9/11 attacks, asking questions that beg to be asked, ferreting out inconsistencies in White House, Pentagon, and State Department reports, analyzing possible scenarios, and asking what kinds of evidence would properly address unanswered questions. Griffin invites the reader to examine two possible explanations to account for the inconsistencies: the "incompetence" theory and the "complicity" theory. The former rests on the assumption that stupid mistakes were made both before and after the attack. The latter rests on the assumption that false official accounts were made about advance notice of the attacks and/or that after-the-fact obstruction of investigations took place. Griffin's conclusion is that it's reasonable to suppose that complicity rather than incompetence is the more likely explanation, and he painstakingly makes his case by examining five major challenges to the official version of what happened. On the second anniversary of 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld made the shocking public claim that the attacks were really blessings "in disguise" (from the book's forward by Richard Falk). Rumsfeld's point was that the US was motivated by the attacks to ramp up its military strength; this was the "blessing" he referred to. But if even part of Griffin's analysis is on the money, the "blessing," which has led to great subsequent loss of life and expenditures of monies in Afghanistan and Iraq, is built on a deception.  A frightening, but not implausible, possibility." http://www.amazon.com Bio: http://www.gettysburg.edu

Essay 5/16/06: "As to the precise causes of 9/11 I remain entirely agnostic. It certainly appears that while certain strange circumstances surrounding that event have been satisfactorily explained, certain others have not been accounted for in any unequivocally emphatic way (and in particular the tardiness of response to the planes' initial capture). Quite definitely we can say that on the part of someone a terroristic conspiracy was fomented and that who that someone really was is not as yet entirely apparent. I must stress however, that there is as yet absolutely no clear evidence for such a supposition and indeed that there is every reason for scepticism in the face of it. But on the other hand, there remains a case to answer and the refusal of nearly all public organs to press this point remains striking."

Everyone has been. The DVD captures news anchors and experts at the time commenting at how like a demolition job the destruction seemed. In the videos we see an official deciding whether to "pull it" meaning Building 7. From whatever source, I urge skeptics to watch building 7 just make a free fall. Compare the destruction of these buildings with that of the Madrid Hotel that raged with fires but still did not fall. It is up to citizens to investigate the smoke that points to the fire. As Franklin indicated, those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither." http://mujca.com/powell.htm

I implore my fellow physicists and engineers who may have the time, expertise, and (ideally) supercomputer access to get to work on the physics of the World Trade Center collapses and publish their findings in refereed journals like, say, the Journal of Applied Physics. The issue of knowing who was really behind the 9/11 attacks is of paramount importance to the future of our country, because the "official" assumption that it was the work of 19 Arab amateurs (1) does not match the available facts and (2) has led directly to the deplorable Patriot Act, the illegal Iraq war, NSA spying on ordinary Americans, repudiation of the Geneva Conventions, and the repeal of habeas corpus (a fundamental point of law that has been with us since the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215).

"To me it seems so transparent with a minimal amount of reflection that there's something catawampus," or cockeyed, with the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Review of The New Pearl Harbor 3/29/04: "Griffin's approach is utterly admirable: coherently, systematically and objectively, he scrupulously and minutely documents the flaws, contradictions, inconsistencies and discrepancies in the 'official version' of the events of that day. Ultimately he assembles and tabulates a list of thirty-eight apparent irregularities in the timeline of, and evidence remaining from, these attacks and asks how they might plausibly be reconciled: Why were the 'standard operating procedures' for the emergency scrambling of fighter jets in the event of a commercial airplane's highjacking not implemented until after the crash at the Pentagon? Why was there no evidence of a passenger jet debris at the Pentagon crash site? What happened on UA flight 93? Did the passengers regain control of the aircraft from the hijackers? If so, why and how did it crash in Pennsylvania? Griffin refuses to throw out possibilities simply because they are outrageous, outlandish or shocking; he lets the evidence speak for itself. As the book's subtitle declares, the results are deeply disturbing. ... For conspiracy theorists, this will ultimately be an unsatisfying book: with admirable academic objectivity, Griffin refuses to indict or endorse any specific hypothesis. Rather he presents a substantial body of very disturbing evidence and calls for a real, open, hardnosed investigation that does not begin with the proposition that only those scenarios in which the assumption that our government or its members play only a benign and benevolent role - seeking only the welfare and best interests of its citizenry - will be considered. The New Pearl Harbor - Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 is a book that ought to be thoughtfully read and considered by every thinking, voting member of the electorate." http://www.axisoflogic.com Bio:  http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/jcooper/

Kuttler, PhD – Professor of Mathematics, Brigham Young University.  Essay: "I provide a short computation, focused on World Trade Center building 7 [570 feet tall, 47 stories, and not hit by an airplane] . Based on very favorable assumptions for achieving a fast fall, including ignoring resistance due to intact steel columns, I could only get the building to fall in about 8.3 seconds, whereas the observed roof-fall time is approximately 6.5 seconds. The problem is the large number of floors and conservation of momentum in a collision. Some of the "official" explanations about progressive collapse are evocative but they do not explain the difficulty in the rapid fall of the building along with what is evidently taking place when the video of the falling building is observed." http://www.journalof911studies.com Bio: https://math.byu.edu/~klkuttle/ CV: http://www.math.byu.edu/%7Eklkuttle/vitaforweb.pdf
Michael Elliot, PhD No photo available	Michael Elliot, PhD – Teaching Fellow, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queens University, Belfast. Signatory: Petition For An Independent International Truth Commission On 9-11. "[T]he Bush administration has never offered a detailed and documented account of its claims about the events of 9-11 which have allegedly revolutionized human affairs. Nor has it explained obvious and serious discrepancies in its own statements and actions. No systematic proof has ever been published or offered as to who the terrorists were, how they operated, where they came from, and why they were not stopped. ... The Kean-Hamilton panel's limited funding from Congress makes a mockery of the tragedy of 9-11, considering that it is only a small fraction of the huge sums spent to investigate Bill Clinton. We therefore call upon statesmen, thinkers, journalists, investigators, artists, scientists, jurists, academics, humanitarians, religious leaders, activists and other eminent personalities from around the world to form an Independent International Truth Commission dedicated to preventing unproven assertions about 9-11 from setting the stage for a new world conflagration.

Essay: "So, for the building to be collapsed in about 10 seconds, the lower floors would have to start moving before the upper floors could reach them by gravity alone. Did we see this? I believe it's pretty clear in some of the videos. The "wave" of collapse, progressing down the building, is moving faster than free-fall speed. This would require something like a detonation sequence. ... In conclusion, the explanations of the collapse that have been given by the 9/11 Commission Report and NIST are not physically possible.  A new investigation is needed to determine the true cause of what happened to these buildings on September 11, 2001.  The destruction of all seven WTC buildings and especially WTC1 and WTC2 may be considered the greatest engineering disaster in the history of the world and deserves a thorough investigation." http://janedoe0911.tripod.com Bio: http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/Wood_Bio.html
Joshua Mitteldorf, PhD	Joshua Mitteldorf, PhD – Researcher, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona.  Former instructor of physics, math, astronomy, and evolution at Harvard, University of California at Berkeley, Temple University, University of Pennsylvania, LaSalle University and Bryn Mawr. Statement to this website 1/15/07: "Three prominent and readily observable features of the collapse of the Twin Towers on the morning of 9/11 are inconsistent with the official explanation involving fires and "pancaking". ... First, the towers collapsed quickly ... Second, the collapse was symmetrical.  Natural events (including fires) will always be governed by a certain amount of randomness.  Some situations are stable and inherently restore symmetry; but the collapse of a tall building is not one of them. ... Third, each collapse began with an explosion in the upper storIes that carried impressive energy.  Jet fuel will burn, but not explode.   ... The explosions that are readily observable in videos of the towers' collapse could only have been produced by commercial explosives. ... Finally, I mention only for extra emphasis that a third tower (WTC 7 [570 feet tall, 47 stories] ) collapsed 6 hours after the first two.  It was never struck by a plane, and fires in WTC 7 were far smaller than the other two towers, and confined to one side of the building.  Yet WTC 7 also collapsed suddenly and symmetrically, almost as fast as a free fall – hallmarks of controlled demolition.  The 9/11 Report of the Kean Commission omits any mention of Building 7, and no government agency has even proposed an explanation of how it fell. Conclusion: We may differ over the political plausibility of conspiracies that have been proposed in connection with the destruction of 9/11.  But the physical implausibility of the official scenario concerning the towers' collapse should be beyond dispute.  This is an area where physicists' calculations and our commonsense notions of how tall objects fall down both point to the conclusion that sophisticated engineering and carefully-timed explosive charges would be required for the towers to fall in the manner that they did."

Foreward to The New Pearl Harbor 6/16/04: "There are so many gaping holes in the official accounts of 9/11 that no plausible coherent narrative remains, and we must go forward as if the truth about these traumatic events no longer matters. Griffin shows, with insight and a firm grasp of the many dimensions of global security policy of the Bush Administration, that getting 9/11 right, even belatedly, matters desperately. The layer upon layer of unexplained facts, the multiple efforts by those in power to foreclose independent inquiry, and the evidence of a pre-9/11 blueprint by Bush insiders to do what they are doing on the basis of a 9/11 mandate is why the Griffin assessment does not even require a reader with a normally open mind.  As suggested, 30% receptivity will do, which means that all but the most dogmatically blinded adherents of the Bush presidency will be convinced by the basic argument of The New Pearl Harbor." http://www.transnational Signatory: Petition requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11:     "We want truthful answers to question. …  As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things: An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings.

Boyle goes on to inquire, "Could the real culprits behind the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, and the immediately following terrorist anthrax attacks upon Congress ultimately prove to be the same people?  Could it truly be coincidental that two of the primary intended victims of the terrorist anthrax attacks - Senators Daschle and Leahy - were holding up the speedy passage of the pre-planned USA Patriot Act ... an act which provided the federal government with unprecedented powers in relation to US citizens and institutions?" http://infowars.net Bio: http://www.law.uiuc.edu/faculty

Essay 12/15/06: "On December 8, The Nation ... published an essay by Christopher Hayes ... titled "9/11: The Roots of Paranoia," in which the author ... disparages the "so-called" 9/11 Truth Movement, which he calls "a rabbit hole of delusion." ... Two of the scholars he identifies by name: theologian David Ray Griffin and physicist Steven Jones. ...   Regarding investigative thoroughness, the two scholars cited, Griffin and Jones, are scrupulous in their investigative methodology. Moreover, James Fetzer, a leading 9/11 skeptic and retired professor of philosophy, has written numerous well-received books on research technique and cognitive inquiry. Hayes' suggestion that the Truth Movement is based on half-baked ideas and lies is simply untrue. Nor are 9/11 skeptics of note only in academe. Go to  www.patriotsquestion911.com (really, go to it)  and find an astonishing list of figures who flatly reject the official version of the 9/11 Commission. They include individuals from the U.S. Senate (e.g., Mark Dayton, D-MN), the House (e.g., Curt Weldon, R-PA), the FBI (e.g., Louis Freeh, former director), the CIA (e.g., Raymond McGovern and Bill Christison), the Departments of Defense (e.g., Morton Goulder, under Nixon, Ford and Carter), Treasury (e.g., Paul Craig Roberts, under Reagan), Labor (e.g., Morgan Reynolds under Bush II), Justice (e.g., John Loftus, under Carter and Reagan), State (e.g., George Kenny, under Bush I), and the U.S. Military (e.g., Major General Albert Stubblebine). Given that such open expressions are dangerous for one's professional life, it is safe to assume that for each one who comes forward, there are many remaining silent. ... Yes, the Truth Movement "raises questions", and the questions are of vastly greater importance than any theories that might arise from them. It is not necessary -- perhaps not even desirable -- to resort to scenarios that can then be dashed by the belittling label of "conspiracy" which, like the word "paranoia", can be applied to neutralize valid concerns. The questions themselves are so numerous and significant that demands for honest answers are implicit within them." http://www.dissidentvoice.org

Review of The New Pearl Harbor 4/27/04: "I found Griffin's book a profoundly disturbing compendium of all the arguments for why there has been a conspiracy around 9/11. He begins with a table of eight levels of complicity, from little to overwhelming and lets the reader decide where along the scale reality may lie. Two reminders of my Yale training jumped to mind: one was Leslie Weatherhead's distinction between the permissive and ordaining wills of God; some things God allows to happen; other things God directs to happen. (Application. Since it is overwhelmingly clear the the Bushies knew such an attack was coming, did they--so overwhelmed with a passion to get into a war with Iraq--simply allow the events of 9/11 or actually conspire and were involved in various ways in their happening?) The other "ancient artifact" is Griffin's style of presentation. It reminded me deeply of St. Thomas' Summas, more Contra Gentiles than Theologica. Griffin methodically lays out the argument, gives you counter arguments and leads you to the profoundly disturbing conclusion that not only was there complicity, there was conspiracy."  http://www.amazon.com Bio: http://www.race-democracy.org/ABOUT_BIOS.htm

Congressional briefing testimony 7/22/05 (p.36): "It falls to me this morning to bring to your attention the story of Saeed Sheikh, whose full name is Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and his astonishing rise to power in Al Qaeda, his crucial role in 9/11, which is completely, utterly, missing from the 9/11 Commission report… The 9/11 Commission which studied US intelligence and law enforcement community performance in great detail, (maybe not so much great detail, but they did), neglected to cover the community's performance during the weeks following the attacks to determine who was responsible for them, not a word about that in the Report. The Report does discuss the immediate US responses but the immediate investigation is never addressed, and anyone who has closely studied the post-9/11 investigation knows that the first breakthrough came two weeks into the investigation when the money transfers from the United Arab Emirates to the hijackers were uncovered. Furthermore, if you have studied that investigation, you know there is no disputing that while investigators may have struggled with the identity of the paymaster, they were clear about one thing, he was Al Qaeda's finance chief. For this reason alone you have to ask why the 9/11 Commission Report never mentions the finance chief's role as the 9/11 paymaster." http://www.vt911.org

Review of 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out 1/18/07: "Professors David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott have edited a masterpiece of critical thinking and scholarly analysis in this collection of articles by intellectuals who have broken silence on the atrocities of September 11, 2001. ... As a member of academia myself, I am buoyed by the caliber of scholars included in the Griffin-Scott volume, particularly in the light of what I consider higher education's abject paranoia regarding skepticism of the official story of 9/11. ... In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of critical thinking is asking questions which is due, in part, to my preference for questions rather than answers written in stone. This is the paramount reason for my enthusiastic support for the 9/11 truth movement. As long as a community of thinkers, and indeed, the citizenry at large, continue to question the events of September 11, there is at least a spark of hope that at some point, with the proper conditions and at the right time, that spark might be fanned into a flame of revolution."  Link to the review Article originally published in From the Wilderness 9/06 : "On this fifth anniversary of the horror that gripped America on September 11, 2001, one thing feels extraordinarily appropriate to me: Acknowledging not only our grief for the innocent victims of that day's butchery, but our grief for all of the valiant men and women who have sacrificed everything but their lives to illumine the reality of the coup d'etat that took place on that day as the United States government orchestrated the attacks then immediately implemented its pathetic, shabby coverup which non-questioning Americans have accepted ever since." http://www.intellectual Bio: http://carolynbaker.org/administrative/about-me

Personal blog 9/11/06 : "Five years after 9/11, the official narrative is riddled with inconsistencies that every official investigative process has been at great pains to ignore. For those familiar with the oddities and absurdities of the 7/7 official narrative here in the UK, this should not come as a great surprise. But it does indicate that the Western government narrative of international terrorism is profoundly flawed. Among those sceptical of the government's account of the 9/11 attacks, for instance, are the bereaved families of the 9/11 victims. "We hoped that our thousands of unanswered questions would be addressed and answered" said Lauri van Auken, whose husband Kenneth died in the attacks ... So what about 9/11 specifically? Five years on, even core elements of the official narrative taken for granted by the 9/11 Commission Report, remain absurdly unresolved. ... Five years on, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that we still don't know what really happened on 9/11. And this dismal, pathetic state of affairs should not continue. The 9/11 families, and with them the wider public, have an elementary right to full answers to these basic questions." http://nafeez.blogspot.com Bio: http://www.blogger.com/profile/13774331
Daniele Ganser, PhD	Daniele Ganser, PhD – Lecturer in the History Department at the University of Basel.  Former Senior Researcher at the Center for Security Studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.  Former Researcher at the Military Academy (MILAK) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Interview 4/8/05: "Academics who study secret warfare find themselves between these three theories—LIHOP [The US government knew the attack was coming, but Let It Happen On Purpose.], SURPRISE [The US government was not expecting the attack.], and INSIDE JOB [The U.S. government planned and executed the attack.]. They all are "conspiracy theories," by the way.  Researchers try to find out which theory is best able to account for all the known facts. … But unfortunately, the 600-page [9/11 Commission] report, published in July 2004 and accepted by Bush as the "official story" of what happened in respect to 9/11, does not even mention the LIHOP and INSIDE JOB theories! It presents SURPRISE as the only possible explanation. Now, Philip Zelikow is a respected professor of history; as a fellow historian I was therefore very surprised to find that his report is totally unbalanced. Of course, Zelikow is aware of the LIHOP and INSIDE JOB theories, no doubt. How can he author a book on 9/11, which claims to search for the truth, but which totally ignores these theories? ... [I]n the utterly unbalanced way this book has been written, it could not be accepted as a Ph.D. thesis or maybe not even as a Masters thesis at a university. Because it not only fails to mention LIHOP and INSIDE JOB as competing theories, but leaves out all data which support the latter two theories: The collapse of WTC7 (World Trade Center building 7, [570 feet tall, 47 stories, and not hit by an airplane] ) is not mentioned; the controversial Pentagon picture is not mentioned let alone debated; the BBC report, that six alleged hijackers are still alive, is not mentioned nor debated; the alleged funding Mohamed Atta by the Pakistani ISI intelligence service is not mentioned; nor the protests of FBI agent Coleen Rowley that there were lies and coverups. … So we are back to square one, with three competing theories, while the official U.S. investigation looks very much like a coverup.  … Academics in the U.S. and across the globe must make a real effort to break through such a web of lies, but that will be difficult, above all because many have simply settled for SURPRISE without knowing the debate at all." http://www.danieleganser.ch Bio: http://www.danieleganser.ch/e/biographie/index.htm

Al Queda as an effective international terrorist organization never existed - nor has it even come into existence under conditions of maximum Western terrorist assault on a Muslim population. The idea of an 'international terrorist conspiracy' was completely fabricated by Washington and embellished by the empty bellicose rhetoric of Bin Laden, a leader without a following, a leader created by the mass media, a leader incapable of directing a single operative terrorist attack. If there is no evidence of the operative existence of Al Queda, and if Bin Laden has no effective following, it is clear there never was any terrorist conspiracy. The idea was fabricated by Washington to justify previous plans designed by Wolfowitz and Perle (1992, 1998) to conquer the Middle East. The fact that the 'worldwide terrorist conspiracy' is a clear fabrication, raises fundamental questions about the event which triggered the US drive for military conquest - 9/11. It is now a well known fact that there was no connection between Iraq and Bin Laden/Al Queda, despite forceful efforts by Colin Powell to present the UN with bogus evidence. But what is equally important, the US, the UN, Tony Blair, the Afghan narco-warlords and other US allies have never found a single piece of evidence linking Bin Laden/Al Queda with the terrorist incidents of 9/11. ... The logical conclusion is that Bin Laden/Al Queda had at best a marginal role, if any. What we do know is that several of the terrorists easily obtained multiple entry visas in Saudi Arabia from the US embassy. That at least two of the hijackers were trained at US military bases. That the FBI and CIA had prior notice of a hijacking and let the operatives proceed. That Condaleeza Rice admitted to prior knowledge of a "traditional hijacking" a short time before it occurred. That US airforce planes were not commanded to action until after the hijackers succeeded. ... At the least we can say that those who fabricated stories of weapons of mass destruction, of Iraqis welcoming US invaders, of all powerful international terrorist organizations are at the least capable of fabricating the story of 9/11." http://www.rebelion.org Bio: http://en.wikigadugi.org/wiki/James_Petras

Peter Phillips, PhD	Peter Phillips, PhD – Professor of Sociology, Sonoma State University. Director, Project Censored. Essay 3/6/05: "A threshold concept facing Americans is the possibility that the 9/11 Commission Report was on many levels a cover-up for the failure of the US government to prevent the tragedy. Deeper past the threshold is the idea that the report failed to address sources of external assistance to the terrorists. Investigations into this area might have lead to a conclusion that elements of various governments - including our own - not only knew about the attacks in advance, but also may have helped facilitate their implementation. The idea that someone in the Government of the United States contributed support to such a horrific attack is inconceivable to many. It is a threshold concept that is so frightening that it brings up a state of mind akin to complete unbelievability. ... Overall concerns with the official version of 9/11 have been published and discussed by scholars and politicians around the world including: Jim Marrs, Nafeez Ahmed, Michael Ruppert, Cynthia McKinney, Barrie Zwicker, Webster Tarpley, Michel Chossudovsky, Paul Thompson, Eric Hufschmid and many others.  The response to most has been to label these discussions as "conspiracy theories" unworthy of media coverage or further review. Pursuit of a critical analysis of these questions is undermined by the psychological barrier about 9/11 issues as threshold concepts — too awful to even consider. We may be on the borders of discovery regarding the possibility of a great evil within our own government, and perhaps others outside as well. We must step past the threshold and have the courage to ask the questions, demand answers, and support research into all aspects of this American tragedy. Perhaps the closet isn't as dark and as fearful as we envision.

He is author of Drugs, Oil and War (2003), and seven other books including Deep Politics and the Death of JFK (1993, 1996) and The Iran-Contra Connection (in collaboration, 1987). Co-editor of 9/11 and American Empire (Vol I) – Intellectuals Speak Out (2006).   His writings deal among other matters with U.S. covert operations and their impact on democracy at home and abroad.  Prior to having taught for thirty-four years at UC Berkeley, Scott was a Canadian diplomat and served at the United Nations and the Canadian Embassy in Warsaw, Poland. Congressional briefing testimony 7/22/05 (p.52): "The American people have been seriously misled about the origins of the al Qaeda movement blamed for the 9/11 attacks, just as they have been seriously misled about the reasons for America's invasion of Iraq. ... The 9/11 Commission Report assures Americans that "Bin Ladin and his comrades had their own sources of support and training, and they received little or no assistance from the United States.  This misleading statement fails to consider that:    –  Al Qaeda elements received considerable indirect U.S. Government assistance, first in Afghanistan until 1992, and thereafter in other countries such as Azerbaijan (1992-95) ...   –  Key members of the network which became al Qaeda, such as Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, Ali Mohamed, Mohamed Jamal Khalifa, and lead hijacker Mohammed Atta, were granted visas to enter the United States, despite being suspected of terrorism.  Al Qaeda foot soldiers were also admitted to the United States for training under a special visa program. ... [Editor's note: See also J. Michael Springman.]   –  Repeatedly al Qaeda terrorists were protected by FBI officials from investigation and prosecution."

Essay in Harpers Magazine, 10/04 Whitewash as Public Service: "The plain, sad reality—I report this following four full days studying the work—is that The 9/11 Commission Report, despite the vast quantity of labor behind it, is a cheat and a fraud. It stands as a series of evasive maneuvers that infantilize the audience, transform candor into iniquity, and conceal realities that demand immediate inspection and confrontation. ... At the core of all these failures lies a deep wariness of earnest, well-informed public debate. ... There's little mystery about why the Commission is tongue-tied. It can't call a liar a liar. ... The Commission, in sum, offers peace through exculpation, evasion, and entertainment—and in doing so dangerously reenergizes a national relish for fantasy." http://www.harpers.org Bio: http://www.boston.com

Endorsement of The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions: "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions ...... Exactly what it says. If you read the actual commission report and then read Griffin's point by point perusal and rebuttal of it, you'll be overwhelmed. Even if you don't read the actual report first, Griffin's effect is very nearly the same, since the care he takes to synopsize wherever necessary or useful, the ease of his pace, and the measured, calm, never sensational quality of his method and his voice all fill you in not only about what is in the report but what isn't. The result overall: Anyone who reads Griffin's book with an open mind and with an empirically based acceptance of commonsense logic—no such person will leave Omissions and Distortions without have been convinced that the "Kean Commission Report" is an enormous, partisan coverup, or, as Griffin himself has says, "a 571-page lie." http://www.ericlarsen.net Essay "The Great Crime of 9/11" 11/5/06: "Book after book (see the bibliography at the end of Part Four), article after article, scholar after scholar—all of them provide overwhelmingly numerous examples of the absolute absurdity not only of the "official theory" itself of 9/11 but also of the "Kean Commission" report—and at the same time they show the absolute obviousness of 9/11 having been in fact a "black flag operation," a self-inflicted wound and self-generated "attack," whether one that was planned and perpetrated by the Bushiscti themselves (probably not), or by what Webster Tarpley calls the "oligarchy" or the "invisible" or the "rogue" government that's actually in control of the nation—these questions are matters for scholarship, and they've been and are still being ever more deeply and accurately explored through scholarship." http://www.ericlarsen.net Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

Marcus Ford, PhD No photo available	Marcus Ford, PhD – Professor, Humanities Department, and Past President, Faculty Senate, Northern Arizona University. Review of Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11  8/18/06: "This is an important book, not simply because of the evidence it marshals in support of the claim that US officials planned and carried out the savage attacks on 9/11, but also because it places this argument within the wider context of how governments, including our own, have sometimes resorted to deadly and deceptive measures in order to advance their own causes. Even if there were no evidence to support the claim that the attacks of 9/11 were carried out by the US--and there is overwhelming evidence that it was--this book would be valuable in terms of its understanding of the nature of empires, recent American foreign policy, Jesus' teachings, and the role that religion (in this case Christianity) should play in modern life. ... Like all of Griffin's books this book is extremely well-documented, but unlike some of his books, it is also very readable. This is a book that must be read and discussed. Buy a copy, and buy additional copies for friends and libraries" Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth  Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

Michael Keefer, PhD	Michael Keefer, PhD – Professor, College of Arts, University of Guelph.  Former President of the Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English.  Graduate of the Royal Military College of Canada. Essay, a rebuttal to Alexander Cockburn 12/16/06: "As anyone who presumes to hold forth on this aspect of the 9/11 evidence should know, what is really incriminating about the failure to intercept the aircraft which were flown on that day into the Twin Towers and (by the official account) into the Pentagon is not the simple absence of fighter-interceptors over New York and Washington, but rather the fact that that absence was ensured by a series of concurrent military exercises which had transferred most of the available interceptors out of the northeastern region, and which for a crucial period that morning left the military air traffic controllers responsible for vectoring the remaining fighters into position unable to determine which of the many blips appearing on their radar screens represented actual as opposed to simulated threats. We can add to this what seems the no less incriminating testimony of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta to the 9/11 Commission, which suggests very strongly that Vice President Cheney had ordered a stand-down of missile defenses protecting Washington DC. ... But like the 9/11 Commission, he [Cockburn] manages quietly to forget about the collapse of WTC 7 late in the afternoon of 9/11: this 47-story steel-framed tower, which was damaged by debris from the North Tower but not struck by any aircraft, collapsed at free-fall speed into its own footprint in what half a dozen different videos show to have been a classic implosion demolition. Significantly, FEMA and NIST have failed to offer any plausible alternative explanation of this collapse. As to the questions of how, when, or by whom demolition charges may have been planted: there is evidence, though Cockburn may not be interested in exploring it, of activity on unoccupied floors of the Twin Towers just prior to 9/11 that is consistent with the placing of such charges." http://www.911truth.org Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth  Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

Clare Brandabur, PhD	Clare Brandabur, PhD – Assistant Professor, English Literature, Dogus University. Statement to this website 1/12/07: "When I first watched the mesmerizing pictures of the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building  Number 7, my reaction was a kind of numb disbelief which later gave way to a perception of the whole event as an elaborately staged piece of theatre. ... But it had to be made to look like an attack by Arab/Islamic terrorists. Many researchers have now shown how the so-called hijackers were set up as a cover for the real  professional state-terrorists who actually coordinated the attacks. ... Although I have spoken to people who fear what will happen if the public at large finds out the truth, I believe that dismantling the 9/11 hoax and exposing to public view the real perpetrators is essential for salvaging American democracy.  Link to full statement Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth  Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C.

Bryan Sacks	Bryan Sacks – Adjunct Professor, Department of English and Philosophy, Drexel University.  Contributing author to Elsevier's The Hidden History of 9/11 ("The Compromised 9-11 Commission"). Essay 6/26/04: "... several FBI "street-level" investigations into the activities of the 9/11 terrorists were stymied by higher-ups in the weeks prior to 9/11, each under strange circumstances, and well before the street-level agents felt like they had reached their "logical end". ... 1) Ken Williams of the Phoenix FBI office sent a now-famous July 10, 2001 memo to the counterterrorism division of the FBI suggesting that the organization institute a national program to keep tabs on suspicious flight-school students. ... Williams ... also warned of a possible "effort by Osama bin Laden to send students to the US to attend civil aviation universities and colleges" ... His suggestion for a national program was ignored before 9/11; 2) FBI agent Robert Wright of the Chicago field office, who had been investigating a suspected terrorist cell for three years, was informed in January 2001 that the case was being closed. This despite Wright's contention that his case was growing stronger. ... Three months before September 11, Wright wrote a stinging internal memo charging that the FBI was not interested in thwarting a terrorist attack, but rather "was merely gathering intelligence so they would know who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred." ... 3) Legal officer Colleen Rowley worked in the FBI's Minneapolis field office when agents arrested Zacarias Moussaoui in August of 2001. ... The Minneapolis [office] felt so strongly about the need to detain him that a request was sent to FBI headquarters to search Moussaoui's laptop computer under the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act. Approximately 10,000 requests under FISA over the past 20 years had been made without a single request being turned down, but the Minneapolis agency's request never got out of the FBI. ... the request was never forwarded for FISA consideration, spurring Rowley to charge that the FBI was "sabotaging" the case, and another agent to charge that headquarters was "setting this up for failure." ... 4) On Aug 28, 2001 the New York FBI office requested opening a criminal investigation in soon-to-be hijacker Khalid Almihdhar based on evidence he had been involved in the USS Cole bombing. The request was turned down, on the basis that, as Griffin puts it, "Almihdhar could not be tied to the Cole investigation without the inclusion of sensitive intelligence information." This led one frustrated FBI agent to write in an email that "someday someone will die--and. . . the public will not understand why we were not more effective."... There are several other aspects about the FBI's behavior pre- and post-9/11 that scream out for further investigation." http://www.count

Essay 12/3/06: "The controversies rage on yet today about the events of September 11, 2001. No steel building has ever collapsed from fire alone. Buildings falling precisely into their footprints are the marks of deliberate (and expert) demolition. The faulty construction/foreshortened lifespan/insurance angle. The collapse of a third building that was not hit at all. The short-selling of airline stock in previous days. The Pentagon hit by a missile, not a civilian airliner. ... The smokescreen includes the coverup of the 9/11 attacks on the Trade Towers and the Pentagon. Initially and fiercely resisting any inquiry at all, President Bush finally appoints a 10-person "9/11 Commission." Its report places the blame on "faulty intelligence." President Bush and Vice President Cheney are accorded breathtaking courtesies in the inquiry: they are not required to testify under oath, and they need not even testify separately. At the insistence of the White House, they are "interviewed" together in the Oval Office, with no transcription permitted. The apparent manipulation of pre-war intelligence is not addressed by the 9/11 Commission, the veracity President Bush's many statements is assumed without question, and the troubling incongruities of 9/11 are ignored. ... We need to know the truth and all the truth. The time has come, as well as the opportunity, for formal, Congressional investigations, based on subpoenas, sworn testimony, and direct evidence about 9/11 and about the created reality of the "war on terror." The new Congress has no greater Constitutional duty than to find this truth and display it, if our nightmarish politics is to end. If such inquiries clearly exonerate the Bush Administration, the nation can breathe deeply and go on. If they do not, then but only then should impeachment be undertaken." http://www.commondreams.org/views06/1203-21.htm Bio: http://www.rockisland.com/~rwbehan/author.html
