Former
employee of Underwriters Laboratories (the company that certified the steel in
the WTC towers).
"We
know that the steel components were certified to ASTM E119. The time temperature
curves for this standard require the samples to be exposed to temperatures
around 2000F for several hours. And as we all agree, the steel applied met those
specifications. Additionally, I think we can all agree that even un-fireproofed
steel will not melt until reaching red-hot temperatures of nearly 3000F (2). Why
Dr. Brown would imply that 2000F would melt the high-grade steel used in those
buildings makes no sense at all." [read more]

"There
are some who maintain that the mythical 9/11 hijackers, although proven to be
too incompetent to fly a little Cessna 172, had acquired the impressive skills
that enabled them to fly airliners by training in flight simulators...
According to FAA radar controllers, "Flight 77" then suddenly pops up over
Washington DC and executes an incredibly precise diving turn at a rate of 360
degrees/minute while descending at 3,500 ft/min, at the end of which "Hanjour"
allegedly levels out at ground level. Oh, I almost forgot to mention: He
also had the presence of mind to turn off the transponder in the middle of this
incredibly difficult maneuver ... The maneuver was in fact so
precisely executed that the air traffic controllers at Dulles refused to believe
the blip on their screen was a commercial airliner. Danielle O'Brian, one
of the air traffic controllers at Dulles who reported seeing the aircraft at
9:25 said, "The speed, the maneuverability, the

chain reaction theory would have to accommodate the fact that each of the towers
unraveled completely in less than 15 seconds, which is close to the time of free
fall from the top of the buildings if there had been no intervening solid

speed?" [read more]

"Why
weren't the hijacked airliners intercepted by jet fighters and shot down before
they could fly into the WTC and Pentagon? Standard procedures call for any
airliner that loses radio contact or goes off course to be intercepted.
Four airliners were hijacked almost simultaneously, and it was obvious to air
traffic controllers immediately. The transponders on the airliners were
turned off. The hijackers were heard on the radio. And the four
deviated drastically from their assigned courses. Was NORAD told? If
not, why not? 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? The independent commission? Who is hiding what,
and why? If it was just a matter of incompetence or somebody not doing
their job, why hasn't anyone been fired or reprimanded? If someone ordered
the standdown, who? and why? and why haven't they been charged with
treason?" [read more]

A letter
to the 9/11 Commission signed by FBI, military, and intelligence
veterans.
"Omission
is one of the major flaws in the Commission's report. We are aware of
significant issues and cases that were duly reported to the commission by those
of us with direct knowledge, but somehow escaped attention. Serious problems and
shortcomings within government agencies likewise were reported to the Commission
but were not included in the report. The report simply does not get at key
problems within the intelligence, aviation security, and law enforcement
communities. The omission of such serious and applicable issues and information
by itself renders the report flawed, and casts doubt on the validity of many of
its recommendations." [read entire

George
Nelson
Colonel,
USAF (ret.)
"In
all my years of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even
heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented
investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make,
model, and specific registration number of the aircraft -- and in most cases the
precise cause of the accident. This is because every military and civilian
passenger-carrying aircraft have many parts that are identified for safety of
flight. That is, if any of the parts were to fail at any time during a flight,
the failure would likely result in the catastrophic loss of aircraft and
passengers. Consequently, these parts are individually controlled by a
distinctive serial number and tracked by a records section of the maintenance
operation and by another section called plans and scheduling ... 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 from public view. The
hard evidence would have included hundreds of critical time-change aircraft
items, plus security videotapes that were confiscated by the FBI immediately
following each tragic episode." [read more]

Dr.
S. Shyam Sunder, (head of NIST)
A quote
from a Mark Jacobson New York Magazine article (March 21, 2006) entitled "The
Ground Zero Grassy Knoll"
"I
asked Dr. Sunder about 7 WTC. Why was the fate of the building barely mentioned
in the final report? This was a matter of staffing and budget, Sunder
said. He hoped to release something on 7 WTC by the end of the year. NIST did
have some "preliminary hypotheses" on 7 WTC, Dr. Sunder said. "We are studying
the horizontal movement east to west, internal to the structure, on the fifth to
seventh floors." Then Dr. Sunder paused. "But truthfully, I don't really
know. We've had trouble getting a handle on building No.

"After spending the better
part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I
have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have
also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have

therefore significant parts of the 'official story' put out by the
"For the next hour and 40
minutes [after the first 9/11 hijacking] no aircraft was put into the air, even
though there was the Andrews Air Force base 10 minutes from Washington DC, a
flight of F16s, a whole squadron, of top level fighters. No planes were flown in
from other air force bases even though at top speed they were certainly within
range. How did that happen? We know that when an aircraft goes off course, it is
legal requirement that aircraft are put into the air to check on the position
and purpose of commercial aircraft. Why on this single day did that not happen?
In the previous 9 months, it had happened 67 times. It was a routine procedure.
Why did it not happen on this very important day? That question has never been
answered." ~ Michael Meacher, former environment minister, Secretary of Commerce
and Secretary of Health in the Blair cabinet. Actually the question has been
answered, but not officially, in Mike Ruppert's book Crossing The Rubicon. Cheney ordered the
interceptors to stand down.

Military, Intelligence, and Government Critics of 9/11 Commission Report.
GARY HART –
Former Senator "In terms of accountability, I think this is one of the
great mysteries of the last three or four years. Three thousand Americans died
three years ago, and no one lost his or her job over it. A president who says
that he is a strong president, and those around him say he is, did not fire
anyone. Either he was misled, in which case, somebody should have been fired. Or
he misled us, in which case he should be fired."
ED ASNER - Actor and
Activist "I fear that if the underlying issues of 9-11 truth are not demanded,
that Iraq may be but a flame on an ocean of gasoline that may be used to ignite
war after war after war. We cannot, as a peace & justice movement only
address the flames. We must look at the fuel being used to justify the flames of
war and repression at home and abroad.
We must look deeply at the events
leading up to, on and since 9-11. We must demand full 9-11 truth." HOWARD ZINN –
Author and Historian
"Whether one views the 9/11 'terrorist' attacks as
blowback, a wake-up call, or an unjustified outrage, they have deeply affected
the American psyche and our attitudes toward war, the future, and the world. . .
.. After 9/11, this administration systematically nurtured the fear of further
homeland attacks to justify its own assaults on constitutional rights as well as
social and environmental programs that protected "the people" but fettered
corporate power and control. . . . Democracy requires citizen vigilance,
informed debate and official accountability." GORE VIDAL - Author
"We still
don't know by whom we were struck that infamous Tuesday, or for what true
purpose. But it is fairly plain to many civil libertarians that 9/11 put paid
not only to much of our fragile Bill of Rights but also to our once-envied
system of government which had taken a mortal blow the previous year when the
Supreme Court did a little dance in 5/4 time and replaced a popularly elected
President with the oil and gas Bush-Cheney junta." 'astonished military
experts cannot fathom why the government's "automatic standard order of
procedure in the event of a hijacking" was not followed' "It is
interesting how often in our history, when disaster strikes, incompetence is
considered a better alibi than .... Well, yes, there are worse things."
KURT VONNEGUT - Author
I myself feel that our country, for whose
Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians
and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is
that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone
Cops-style coup d'etat imaginable" RICHARD CLARKE - Top White House
Terrorism Advisor during 9/11
"Frankly, I find it outrageous that the
president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great
things about terrorism," says Clarke in Sunday's interview. "He ignored it. He
ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop
9/11. Maybe. We'll never know." Rumsfeld was saying we needed to bomb
Internal FBI memo June 2001 'the FBI, rather than

something other than incompetence was involved, saying that there "were powers
bigger than I was in the Justice Department and within the FBI that simply were
