Many respected senior members of the U.S.
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
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 give credibility to
the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed.
These dedicated individuals from both political parties cannot be simply
dismissed as 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.

U.S. House of

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

Speaker, because ... there is something
desperately wrong here. I have met with at

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."

An even bigger question is
why isn't our media asking these questions?
Why isn't our military spending many

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 and
who’s responsible. Who gained from 9/11? Who
covered up crucial information? And who put
out the patently false stories about 9/11 in

clear that it’s highly placed individuals in

kindest thing that we can say about George

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."

"'The government story they handed us about

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."

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."

"The US military, not al Qaeda, had
the sustained access weeks before 9/11 to
also plant controlled demolition charges
throughout the superstructures of WTC1 and
WTC2, and in WTC7, which brought down all
three buildings on 9/11. A US military
plane, not one piloted by al Qaeda,
performed the highly skilled, high−speed
270−degree dive towards the Pentagon. Air
Traffic Controllers on 9/11 were sure [it]
was a military plane as they watched it on
their screens. Only a military aircraft, not
a civilian plane flown by al Qaeda, would
have given off the 'friendly' signal needed
to disable the Pentagon’s anti−aircraft
missile batteries as it approached the
building. Only the US military, not al
Qaeda, had the ability to break all of its
Standard Operating Procedures to paralyze
its own emergency response system."

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

making a war of aggression on a country that

two towers in New York actually collapsed

controlled explosions rather than just being

that they almost had to have been controlled
explosions."

Omission is one of the major flaws in the

issues and cases that were duly reported to the
commission by those of us with direct knowledge,
but somehow escaped attention.
The omission of such serious and

Regarding 9/11 Commission inquiry: "The
official story is so inadequate and
far-fetched that there must be another one."

Article/Interview: "The planning of
the attacks was technically and
organizationally a master achievement. To
hijack four huge airplanes within a few
minutes, and within one hour to drive them
into their targets with complicated flight
maneuvers! This is unthinkable without
years-long support from secret apparatuses
of the state and industry."

Regarding the 9/11 Commission Report: "It
was a 580-page avoidance of any serious
explanation. The official investigative
report says the US has never been able to
find the sources of financing for 9/11. And
then they say, 'That after all is a matter
of no great importance.' I find that
astonishing. It is a matter of absolutely
central importance. It seems to me
extraordinary that the United States with
its stupendous military capabilities and the
most technologically advanced country in the
world completely and totally failed to
follow up on these leads."

Regarding 9/11: "Only secret services and
their current chiefs – or those retired but
still having influence inside the state
organizations – have the ability to plan,
organize and conduct an operation of such
magnitude."

Article in
one of U.K.'s leading newspapers The
Guardian: Regarding 9/11: "Bin
Laden does not have the capabilities for an
operation of this magnitude. When I hear
Bush talking about al-Qaida as if it was
Nazi Germany or the communist party of the
Soviet Union, I laugh because I know what is
there. Bin Laden has been under surveillance
for years: every telephone call was
monitored and al-Qaida has been penetrated
by American intelligence, Pakistani
intelligence, Saudi intelligence, Egyptian
intelligence. They could not have kept
secret an operation that required such a
degree of organisation and sophistication."
David Shayler
– Former Counter-terrorism Officer, MI5 (UK)
Video:"The
available evidence indicates that people in
key positions in the FBI, the State
Department, the CIA and so on were not loyal
to the Constitution; that they saw an
opportunity in plans laid down by genuine
Islamic terrorists to carry out an operation
that would shock the world and would
therefore justify U.S. adventurism in the
middle East, particularly in Afghanistan and
Iraq."

9/11 is unquestionably the most important
event in American history since December 7,
1941, when Japanese forces attacked Pearl
Harbor. The magnitude of its impact on America
and the world cannot be overstated. The terrible
acts of 9/11 and the events leading up to them
deserve a thorough and unimpeachable
investigation to learn the facts. And if some
rogue elements within the U.S. government were
complicit in the terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11, as
several of these individuals allege, it is
critical that these elements be exposed and
removed from power.
