Washington Post: Government Lied about 9/11

Submitted by GeorgeWashington on Wed, 08/02/2006 - 9:47am.

The Washington Post has a story today about how the Government lied about the military response to 9/11 (free subscription required). The story is also covered by Raw Story

Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.

Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources.

***

"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."

* * *

"I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described," John Farmer, a former New Jersey attorney general who led the staff inquiry into events on Sept. 11, said in a recent interview. "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."

* * *

John F. Lehman, a Republican commission member and former Navy secretary, said in a recent interview that he believed the panel may have been lied to but that he did not believe the evidence was sufficient to support a criminal referral.

"My view of that was that whether it was willful or just the fog of stupid bureaucracy, I don't know," Lehman said. "But in the order of magnitude of things, going after bureaucrats because they misled the commission didn't seem to make sense to me."

Maybe the call by

Maybe the call by neocon-whore Ann Coulter to "execute" the New York Times staff for "treason" because they published the latest Bush bank-spying scandal, maybe these things are finally getting the MSM papers to understand how important 9/11 truth is.

"In an article scheduled to

"In an article scheduled to be on newsstands today, Vanity Fair magazine reports aspects of the commission debate -- though it does not mention the possible criminal referrals -- and publishes lengthy excerpts from military audiotapes recorded on Sept. 11. ABC News aired excerpts last night."

All I can say is my, what a coincidence, huh? That you publish what we've known for years TODAY, just in advance of that magazine- what was it's name again? Oh yeah, Vanity Fair, where have I heard that name recently?

Another great line-

"A separate report, delivered secretly to Congress in May 2005, blamed inaccuracies in part on problems with the way the Defense Department kept its records..."

Really, do tell. Like in little scissored pieces of audiotape in trash cans around the airports?

F'n DUH.

Limited hang-out operation #1 in full swing-- BLAME IT ALL ON NORAD-- but what about the "terror drills"?

LTTE's are in order for WAPO, ABC and Vanity Fair.

"My hope is that they will

"My hope is that they will all stand trial someday for treason."

the truth is that many people have served as accomplices after the fact;

these include Hannity, O'Reilly and North, for starters;

The key is KNOWING their treason.

they have been presented with the facts but have steadfastly refused to entertain them; moreoever, they have tried to supress the truth; this is the very definition of treason.

O'Reilly can talk about bodies in the harbor; it's all bluff, the trumpetting of a coward.

We all know what happened to Goebells.

Somebody's starting to feel the fire under their feet.
Before the truth about 9/11 can sink its teeth into anyone within the administration, they will divert attention away from the executive office by pinning it on the military. Possibly even going all the way up the chain of command into the pentagon. Still, there are far too many other questions that remain. Military operations don't account for everything that day.
But by making it a military issue, they are attempting to keep it quarantined.

Before I forget... a letter

Before I forget...

a letter to the editor in a newspaper suggested something interesting:

The israelis want an ARMED and READY-to-kill UNITED NATIONS force in south lebanon buffer zone.

The UN soldiers are there to protect Israeli people, civilian and military infrastructure from the Hizbollah rockets.

Then the same UN soldiers should be also equipped with Surface-to-air missiles capable of shooting down israeli jets... in order to protect the Lebanese people and their infrastructure from Israeli bombs.

FAIR COMMENT, I thought!!

Just like to share an idea,

Go to any e-commerce sites (Amazon, Buy.com, Circuit city, any other music or movie review site & so on....) that you could leave reviews on. Go there everyday and leave some sort of 9/11 truth infos there. Especially on site like Amazon where you could give a reviews on almost anythings. Go find the most recent TOP ten CD or DVD or upcoming releases or most popular or most sold and flood those pages with 9/11 truth comments (make sure you give them link to 9/11 truth pages). Post some on other popular items too, like TVs, bags, clothes.... we need to reach all ages.

There is an interesting

There is an interesting juxtaposition between tonight's ABC-TV Nightline broadcast and this Washington Post article, especially in the context of near-simultaneous CSpan coverage and the release of the Moussaoui trial evidence.

Seems to me there's an internal war going on inside the Administration.

It brings to mind the comment made by David Ray Griffin in the Q&A session after his presentation in Wisconsin about how the Bush administration policies will eventually be seen to be bad for mainstream American business and that they would move to bring down the Bush administration, and that 9/11 would be the means for doing it.

9/11 truth will be worse for business than Bush's policies. The whole monetary system will crash.

The truth about 9/11 is

The truth about 9/11 is coming out...

And it's far past time...

Just this week, the insane Bush/Cheney administration is linking the Middle East fiasco to their self-inflicted 9/11 event...

Bush is connecting IsraelÂ’s fight against Hizbollah to the Sept. 11 attacks.

President Bush:

"The current crisis is part of a larger struggle between the forces of freedom and the forces of terror in the Middle East. For decades the status quo in the Middle East permitted tyranny and terror to thrive and as we saw on September the 11th, the status quo in the Middle East led to death and destruction in the United States."

Bush and his gang are freaks. And, yes, it does appear that people "on the inside" are starting to cover their asses - as well they should. It's a matter of time before the real criminals behind 9/11 will be punished.

Rachel Maddow was actually

Rachel Maddow was actually covering this, but I caught it late and thought she was talking about Vanity Fair, not the Washington Post. Anyway, what's so interesting about this development is that FAA was the one scapegoated for getting everything wrong. Remember how some timelines on intercepts shifted a lot? Look at Flight 93...they changed the intercept notification time 51 minutes, so FAA was hung out to dry.

I don't know what is going on behind the scenes, but it seems like the rats are jumping ship.
