These prominent leaders and others now claim that there are serious
problems with the official government story of 9/11. Some of these
highly respected individuals believe that 9/11 may have been an inside
job. It can be very unsettling to even consider the possibility that
certain individuals within our government facilitated the attacks in
order to advance their hidden agendas. Yet the facts increasingly
point in that direction.

A former Bush team member during his first administration is now
voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on
9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during
President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that
the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that
it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin
Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.

"If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade
Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a government
attack on America would be compelling," said Morgan Reynolds, Ph.D, a
former member of the Bush team. Reynolds, now a professor emeritus at
Texas A&M University, also believes it's "next to impossible" that 19
Arab terrorists alone outfoxed the mighty U.S. military, adding the
scientific conclusions about the WTC collapse may hold the key to the
entire mysterious plot behind 9/11. Reynolds...claims explosives and
structural experts have been intimidated in their analyses of the
collapses of 9/11. In a detailed analysis just released supporting the
controlled demolition theory, Reynolds presents a compelling case.
Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Sect. of Treasury under Pres. Reagan
http://www-hoover.stanford.edu/bios/roberts.html - Website of
Stanford's Hoover Institute describes Roberts
The Honorable Paul Craig Roberts is a senior fellow at the Hoover
Institution. During 1981-82, he served as assistant secretary of the
Treasury for economic policy. He was awarded the Treasury Department's
Meritorious Service Award for "his outstanding contributions to the
formulation of United States economic policy." A former editor and
columnist for the Wall Street Journal and columnist for Business
Week...the Forbes Media Guide ranked him as one of its top seven
journalists. He has testified before committees of Congress on 30
occasions.

Tribune's July 29, 2005 article on Roberts
Roberts said he hasn't changed his political ideology or jumped from
the Republican-conservative ship but "just can't respect a party
leadership who doesn't respect the truth." "I guess the real story
about 9/11 is about what the people are actually saying. I've gotten
hundreds of emails in response to my columns and many of them talk
about not getting the truth from the government or the media about
what really happened at the World Trade Center. I know many qualified
engineers and scientists have said the WTC collapsed from explosives.
In fact, if you look at the manner in which it fell, you have to give
their conclusions credibility."
U.S. Senator Mark Dayton

Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., charged...that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command
(NORAD) have covered up "catastrophic failures" that left the nation
vulnerable during the Sept. 11 hijackings. "For almost three years
now, NORAD officials and FAA officials have been able to hide their
critical failures that left this country defenseless during two of the
worst hours in our history," Dayton declared during a Senate
Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. Dayton said NORAD officials
"lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to
your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence,
communication and protection of the American people."
U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney

Rep. Cynthia McKinney led a Capitol Hill hearing Friday [July 22,
2005] on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "What we are doing is asking the unanswered
questions of the 9/11 families," McKinney...said during the
proceedings. The eight-hour hearing, timed to mark the first
anniversary of the release of the Sept. 11 commission's report on the
attacks, drew dozens of contrarians and conspiracy theorists who
suggest President Bush purposely ignored warnings or may even have had
a hand in the attack - claims participants said the commission
ignored. "Congresswoman McKinney is viewed as a contrarian," panelist
Melvin Goodman, a former CIA official, said. "And I hope someday her
views will be considered conventional wisdom."
Note: Though the mainstream press largely failed to report on this
important hearing, C-SPAN did air all eight hours of testimony given
on August 31st and Sept. 2nd (because of Hurricane Katrina, part two
was aired on C-SPAN 2), both at 8 PM.

A professor emeritus at the Claremont School of Theology, 66-year-old
David Ray Griffin...compiled a summary of material arguing against the
accepted story that 19 hijackers sent by Osama bin Laden took the
aviation system and the U.S. military by surprise that awful day in
his 2004 book "The New Pearl Harbor." He recently followed up with the
book "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions," a
critique of the Kean commission document. "For the first year and a
half I just accepted the conventional view. When a colleague suggested
to me about a year after 9/11 that he was convinced our own government
or forces within our own government had arranged it, I didn't accept
that. Then several months later another colleague sent me [a link to]
a website that had a timeline. Once I started reading that and saw all
those stories drawn from mainstream sources that contradicted the
official account, I decided I needed to look into it more carefully,
and the more I looked, the worse it got. The fact that Building 7 [a
47-story skyscraper in the WTC complex] collapsed when it had not been
hit by an airplane, and collapsed in seven or eight seconds, that's a
smoking gun. The fact that standard operating procedures were not
followed that morning, and we've gotten three different stories now by
the U.S. military as to why they did not intercept the planes, that's
a smoking gun. There was a Zogby poll in New York. The question asked
was, do you believe the government had advance knowledge of the
attacks and consciously let them happen? Forty-nine percent in New
York City said yes.
Note: On May 7, 2005, Dr. Griffin, who has authored or edited over two
dozen scholarly books, was featured on C-SPAN 2 giving an excellent
lecture on the 9/11 cover-up at the University of Wisconsin. To view

National Press Club also hosted him for an excellent talk on July 22,
2005.
Robert M. Bowman, Head of Advanced Space Programs for DOD

Illinois Times on Bowman
In 1977, Dr. Robert M. Bowman, head of advanced space programs for the
Department of Defense [DOD], authored a report describing a new
missile-defense shield system called the "Star Wars Defense." Lt. Col.
Robert Bowman (Ret.), a combat pilot who flew 101 missions in the
Vietnam War...ran for president in 2000.
http://www.rmbowman.com/ssn/Secrecy.htm - Article on Dr. Bowman's
website discussing 9/11
Many people are convinced that George W. Bush knew what was going to
happen and purposely allowed it to happen so he and his
neo-conservative buddies could have the "new Pearl Harbor" they needed
to justify their wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. Others go further.
They are absolutely sure Cheney and company actually planned and
carried out the attack. What is so disturbing is that their arguments
are quite convincing. If an enormous cloud of suspicion is not to be
permanently over the head of our government, the Bush Administration
must "come clean," releasing information thus far withheld from the
American people. Why did John Ashcroft and top Pentagon officials
cancel plans to fly commercial airlines the morning of 9/11? If they
knew what was about to happen, why wasn't it stopped? Who made all the
millions of dollars selling short United and American Airlines [stock]
just before 9/11? Why weren't the hijacked airliners intercepted by
jet fighters and shot down before they could fly into the WTC and
Pentagon? What did the air traffic controllers say, and to whom? Why
did the FBI impound the tapes of those conversations? Why has the
public never been told what was on them? Why weren't the congressional
investigators told? If it was just a matter of incompetence or
somebody not doing their job, why hasn't anyone been fired or reprimanded?
Michael Meacher, UK Minister of Environment (1997 - 2003)
September 6, 2003, The Guardian (one of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1036571,00.html
A blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana was drawn up
for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence
secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George
Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The
document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was written in
September 2000 by the neoconservative think tank, Project for the New
American Century (PNAC). 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 defence of
incompetence. Fifteen of the 9/11 hijackers obtained their visas in
Saudi Arabia. Michael Springman, the former head of the American visa
bureau in Jeddah, has stated that since 1987 the CIA had been
illicitly issuing visas to unqualified applicants from the Middle East
and bringing them to the US for training in terrorism for the Afghan
war in collaboration with Bin Laden (BBC, November 6 2001). It seems
this operation continued after the Afghan war for other purposes. It
is also reported that five of the hijackers received training at
secure US military installations in the 1990s (Newsweek, September 15
2001) The conclusion of all this analysis must surely be that the
"global war on terrorism" has the hallmarks of a political myth
propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal
of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil
supplies required to drive the whole project.

Article jointly written by Catherine Austin Fitts and Congresswoman
McKinney on excellent 9/11 website
>From the first, the Bush Administration resisted investigation and
disclosure. Families of September 11 victims were forced to lobby the
administration and Congress for a full and independent inquiry. They
fought for 14 months, blocked every step of the way by the White
House. The families demanded a full investigation, posing nearly 400
questions to the Kean Commission. The commissioners said they welcomed
these queries. But their final report ignored most of the unanswered
questions. Still posted on the website of the September 11 Family
Steering Committee, these questions are a stark reminder of the Kean
Commission's failures. Until the unanswered questions about 9/11 are
laid to rest, by a truly independent investigation that does not
declare legitimate avenues of inquiry off-limits, they will continue
to haunt our country.
