Proof that 9/11 Truthers Are Dangerous

By Washington's Blog

March 08, 2010 "Washington's Blog" --  Most Americans don't know what kind of
people 9/11 truthers really are. So they can't figure out whether or not they are
dangerous.

Below is a list of people who question what our Government has said about 9/11.

The list proves - once and for all - that people who question 9/11 are dangerous.

Email this list to everyone you know, to prove to them that 9/11 truthers are all
dangerous nut cases.

Senior intelligence officers:

    * Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that the
case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon
Papers". He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her
allegations about 9/11. And he said that some of the claims concerning government
involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about
what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement
there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or
psychologically beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there's
enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with
subpoenas and testimony taken under oath.

    * A 27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and
personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George
H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
many other senior government officials (Raymond McGovern) said “I think at simplest
terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke”, and is open to the possibility
that 9/11 was an inside job.

    * A 29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former
Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis (William Bill Christison)
said “I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not
unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. ...
All three [buildings that were destroyed in the World Trade Center] were most
probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed in the buildings before
9/11." (and see this: http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Aug06/Christison14.htm).

    * A number of intelligence officials, including a CIA Operations Officer who co-
chaired a CIA multi-agency task force coordinating intelligence efforts among many
intelligence and law enforcement agencies (Lynne Larkin) sent a joint letter to
Congress expressing their concerns about “serious shortcomings,” “omissions,” and
“major flaws” in the 9/11 Commission Report and offering their services for a new
investigation (they were ignored)

    * 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian
in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer
(David Steele) stated that "9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for
war", and it was probably an inside job (scroll down to Customer Review dated
October 7, 2006).

    * A decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative
reporter Seymour Hersh called "perhaps the best on-the-ground field officer in the
Middle East”, and whose astounding career formed the script for the Academy Award
winning motion picture Syriana (Robert Baer) said that "the evidence points at" 9/11
having had aspects of being an inside job


    * The Division Chief of the CIA’s Office of Soviet Affairs, who served as Senior
Analyst from 1966 - 1990. He also served as Professor of International Security at the
National War College from 1986 - 2004 (Melvin Goodman) said "The final [9/11
Commission] report is ultimately a coverup."

    * Professor of History and International Relations, University of Maryland. Former
Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Security Agency, former military
attaché in China, with a 21-year career in U.S. Army Intelligence (Major John M.
Newman, PhD, U.S. Army) questions the government's version of the events of 9/11.

Congressmen:

    * According to the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former
Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, an FBI informant had
hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry
sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an
unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers
were undertaken under orders from the White House (confirmed here)

    * Current Democratic U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy said "The two questions that the
congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush's watch when he
had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"

    * Current Republican Congressman Ron Paul calls for a new 9/11 investigation and
states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or
less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"

    * Current Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich hints that we aren't being told
the truth about 9/11

    * Current Republican Congressman Jason Chafetz says that we need to be vigilant
and continue to investigate 9/11

    * Former Democratic Senator Mike Gravel states that he supports a new 9/11
investigation and that we don't know the truth about 9/11

    * Former Republican Senator Lincoln Chaffee endorses a new 9/11 investigation

    * Former U.S. Democratic Congressman Dan Hamburg says that the U.S.
government "assisted" in the 9/11 attacks, stating that "I think there was a lot of help
from the inside"

    * Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed
Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military
Research and Development Subcommittee Curt Weldon has shown that the U.S.
tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the
Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job

9/11 Commissioners:


    * The Commission's co-chairs said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military
officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered
recommending criminal charges for such false statements (free subscription required)

    * 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says "I don't believe for a minute we got
everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep
asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue

    * 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said "We were extremely frustrated with the
false statements we were getting"

    * 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a
national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days
we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America.
But this White House wants to cover it up"

    * 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect
that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't
have access . . . ."

    * And the Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) - who led the
9/11 staff's inquiry - recently said "At some level of the government, at some point in
time...there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also
said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described ....
The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the
public for two years.... This is not spin. This is not true."

Other government officials:

    * U.S. General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme
Allied Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple
Heart (General Wesley Clark) said "We've never finished the investigation of 9/11 and
whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The
evidence seems pretty clear to me. I've seen that for a long time."

    * Former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and
Carter (Morton Goulder), former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on
Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State Foreign Service
Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who's who of liberals and independents)
jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11

    * Former Federal Prosecutor, Office of Special Investigations, U.S. Department of
Justice under Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan; former U.S. Army
Intelligence officer, and currently a widely-sought media commentator on terrorism
and intelligence services (John Loftus) says "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 defense of incompetence."

    * The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government
Accountability Office said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented
warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting
responsibility

    * President of the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board, who also served as
Pentagon Weapons Requirement Officer and as a member of the Pentagon's
Quadrennial Defense Review, and who was awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for
Heroism, four Air Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial
Achievement Medals (Lt. Col. Jeff Latas) is a member of a group which doubts the
government's version of 9/11

    * Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan (Col.
Ronald D. Ray) said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt"

    * The former director of the FBI (Louis Freeh) says there was a cover up by the
9/11 Commission

    * Director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and
Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat
missions (Col. Robert Bowman) stated: "If our government had merely [done]
nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot—I know the drill, I know what it
takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures are, I know what they
were, and I know what they’ve changed them to—if our government had merely
done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11,
the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still
be alive. [T]hat is treason!"

Numerous other politicians, judges, legal scholars, and attorneys also question at
least some aspects of the government's version of 9/11.
