Seven CIA Veterans Challenge 9/11 Commission Report

quote:
Earlier this year, in an endorsement of David Ray Griffin's book, Debunking 9/11 Debunking, Christison wrote[5], "[There's] a strong body of evidence showing the official U.S. Government story of what happened on September 11, 2001 to be almost certainly a monstrous series of lies." And in an online essay[6] in late 2006, he wrote, "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. An airliner almost certainly did not hit The Pentagon. The North and South Towers of the World Trade Center almost certainly did not collapse and fall to earth because hijacked aircraft hit them."

From the article, the seven CIa officers disagree about WHY the 9-11 Commission Report was inadequate.

For example, one of them thinks Saudi Arabia and Iran (!) helped Al-Quaeda do it:

quote:
Robert Baer is another well known CIA veteran who has questioned the official account of 9/11. A 21-year CIA veteran and specialist in the Middle East, Baer was awarded the Career Intelligence Medal upon his retirement in 1997. ....
Baer has repeatedly questioned whether al-Qaida could have accomplished 9/11 alone. ...

In a 2002 essay[10] for The Guardian, Baer wrote, "Did bin Laden act alone, through his own al-Qaida network, in launching the attacks? About that I'm far more certain and emphatic: no." In subsequent interviews, Baer has suggested that support for the attacks could have come from Saudi Arabia and Iran.


That's a lot different than believing it was a nefarious plot by Bush and Co.

So the shadow guv' trumped up charges against the wrong oil-rich country ? The USSA needs democratizing. Miscommunication between the unaccountables in the Pentagon, NSA/CIA and cosmetic government in Warshington could be avoided so easily if they just stepped outside of their little world for five minutes and gave it some attention. They want democratization and ruthless efficiency at all levels not just the McWage earning Americans doing security at airports.

Such silliness becomes a threat to democracy if too many people believe it. Hundreds of people saw the planes, and what happened to the people who disappeared ?

The Republicans themselves created the environment that allows these ridiculous rumours to continue, by undermining public faith in government.

Six years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, there are plenty of unanswered questions about why the Bush administration didn't prevent them. But the most popular 9/11 conspiracy theories are full of holes, too. Part six of a seven-part series on the lessons of 9/11....

I believe the counterconspiracy nuts. I think the cosmetic government turned a blind eye to CIA reports dropped in their laps warning them of al Qaeda and possible use of passenger jets as missiles. It's the new-old laissez-faire taken to extremes. Any old crisis will do, and I think they must have outsourced the investigation into who was responsible.

I think there was a conspiracy to do nothing on purpose. The cosmetic guv of Bush-Cheney were provided instructions by the PNAC cabal to just sit back and let it happen. There may have been secret communications between al Qaeda - the hundreds of al Qaeda and Taliban who were airlifted to safety in the middle of a firefight in Afghanistan and on Musharraf's order and with Rumsfeld's nod - and all the conditions for a Reichstag fire on 9-11 were in place. It was the ultimate in laissez-faire made new again as shock doctrinaire do-nothing Pentagon capitalists just let it happen. And they already had the guilty parties pegged well beforehand. The warfiteering cabal would blame the CIA for dragging them into an expensive war with Iraq. The U.S. military would beckon Iraqi women and children to banquets of death and destruction in the middle of the night after a premediated "softening up" of that country with a ten year-long medieval siege.
