9/11 Commission Report Is A Lie

Writing
about a speech by one of the members of the 9/11
Commission, P-I columnist Joel Connelly claimed: "Each of us needs
to understand why we are doing what we are doing." ("Sept.
11 show the flaws with protocol," May 8)
Indeed! The problem is that the "why" we have
been told appears to be a complete fiction.
Connelly seems to assume that because the 9/11
Commission was bipartisan that we should accept its conclusions and
recommendations. But is that true? Is the commission's story
credible?
The commission's conclusions and recommendations
should be totally rejected. Its story is full of lies, distortions
and omissions of fact. Following are two of the more than 40 reasons
why the official story about what happened on 9/11 is untrue.
First, who were the hijackers? We do not know.
None of those named appear on any of the passenger lists released by
the airlines. Most important, six of the men named by the government
are still alive and have never even been to the United States. We
know that because European media (as reported by The Associated
Press, the London Telegraph and the BBC) have interviewed them. It
is not a matter of mistaken identity not being noticed or someone
using a false passport. The commission insists that the people they
named were the hijackers but that claim is demonstrably false.
If that most basic claim is false, and the
information was available to the commission (which it was), and the
commission still claims that it has given us "a full account" of
what happened that day based on "exacting research," it's clear that
the members are lying. In his book, "The 9/11 Commission Report:
Omissions and Distortions," Dr. David Ray Griffin documents all that
and concludes the whole report is one long lie.
Second, in the months after 9/11 all of the
surviving New York City Fire Department personnel who were on the
scene were interviewed. Those oral histories were recorded and
withheld from the public until Aug. 15, 2005. Only after losing in
court three times did the city of New York finally release them. All
503 are now posted on The New York Times Web site. Why did the city
fight so hard to keep them from the public?
It turns out those oral histories reveal details
about what was happening in the World Trade Center buildings that
are completely inconsistent with the tale told by the commission.
Dozens of firefighters and medics reported hearing, seeing and
feeling explosives going off in the buildings that collapsed. Why
were there explosives, very powerful explosives by all accounts,
going off in the buildings? More disturbing, why was the pattern of
those explosives identical in some important ways with the pattern
used in a planned implosion (or controlled demolition of a
building)?
In spite of Connelly's faith in what commission
members say, the report seems to be an obvious cover-up. The
question that we all need to ask is: What is the commission covering
up? Was 9/11, in fact, an inside job?
