Mr. Joseph Daniels, President,
National September 11 Memorial & Museum,
One Liberty Plaza,
New York

Dear Mr. Daniels,

I read a Reuters press release of Septembe 11, 2009, according to which your Establishment, dedicated to the Sept. 11 attacks, would display photographs of the "19 hijackers" of 9/11, and present "facts" focusing on "what happened" on 9/11, "why it happened and what does it mean to live a in 9/11 world."

I am aware that among the Board Members of your Museum are prominent businesspeople and politicians that may have a vested interest to represent the US government view on the events of 9/11.

I respectfully wish to point out to you, Mr. Daniels, that your plans might in the future cause you nightmares and render your establishment extremely controversial.

The reason for my concern is that you and your colleagues appear to rely entirely on the official account on 9/11, as presented by the US government, its agencies and the 9/11 Commission.

Such reliance is unwarranted because there is no evidence - whatsoever - that the official account on 9/11 bears any resemblance to reality. First, there exists no evidence that 19 Muslim fanatics boarded aircraft that they later hijacked and flew into the known landmarks. Thus, posting the photographs of the alleged "hijackers" at your Museum would constitute an act of defamation of innocent individuals, whose guilt was never proved, and more generally a form of racial incitement against Muslims, none of whom were proved to participate in the mass murder. Secondly, the official explanation regarding the disintegration of World Trade towers is being disputed by a growing constituency of architects and engineers, whose expertise is beyond doubt. To disregard the voices of this constituency would jeopardize your noble project.

I wholeheartedly share the wish of 9/11 families to create a memorial for the victims that would present the truth on the events, as well as the motives of the perpetrators and their identities. This purpose cannot be accomplished, however, in a partial manner, and by disregarding findings by thousands of independent scholars and concerned citizens that undermine the official account of the events. This growing constituency, going by the name of the 9/11 truth movement, will certainly not remain silent if your establishment's role is to be the promotion of untruths, as it appears to be from public declarations.

I urge you and your colleagues to seek the cooperation of the 9/11 truth movement, in order to secure that your establishment retain a wide consensus within the United States and world-wide and serve faithfully the families of the victims and society in general. In this regard, you might wish to contact leading members of this movement, such as Prof. David Ray Griffin (California), Prof. Niels Harrit of the University of Copenhagen, Producer Barrie Zwicker (Canada) and Architect Richard Gage (California). The website Patriots for 9/11 Truth may also provide names of individuals from all walks of life, who might be sought to help establish a credible memorial project about 9/11.

I would be thankful for your reaction to my appeal.

Sincerely yours,
