Eight U.S. State Department Veterans Challenge the Official Account of 9/11

By Alan Miller

Official Account of 9/11: “Flawed”, “Absurd”, “Totally Inadequate”, “a Cover-up” January 5, 2008 – Eight U.S. State Department veterans have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and called for a new investigation. “There is no question in my mind, that there is enough evidence to justify a very comprehensive and hard hitting investigation of the kind we have not seen, with subpoenas, general questioning of people, releasing a lot of documents,” said Daniel Ellsberg, PhD, in a 2006 interview with Jack Blood. <1>

Dr. Ellsberg is one of many signers of a petition to reinvestigate 9/11. <2> Best known for leaking the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times in 1971, Dr. Ellsberg is a former U.S. State Department envoy to Viet Nam and Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense.

Another State Department critic of the official account of 9/11 is Col. Ann Wright, who said in a 2007 interview with Richard Greene on the Air America Radio Network, “It's incredible some of these things that still are unanswered. The 9/11 Report -- that was totally inadequate. I mean the questions that anybody has after reading that.” <3>

Col. Wright is one of three U.S. State Department officials to publicly resign in direct protest of the invasion of Iraq in March, 2003. She joined the Foreign Service in 1987 and served for 16 years as a U.S. Diplomat, including assignments as Deputy Chief of Mission of U.S. Embassies in Sierra Leone, Micronesia and Afghanistan. She helped reopen the U.S. Embassy in Kabul in December, 2001. She also served for 13 years on active duty and 16 additional years on reserve duty with the U.S. Army.

1. Heck, even the chairmen of the 9/11 Commission no longer support the official story

They recently said their investigation was obstructed. How can anyone still support the official conspiracy theory?

11. Maybe it depends on how one is supported.

Know what I mean?

2. Will they will be dismissed as "crazy conspiracy theorists?"

[HamdenRice]

3. Some people would dismiss Kean and Hamilton as crazy conspiracy theorists

After all, they now question the completeness of their own report! And anyone who doesn't believe the 9/11 Commission Report is the complete, total and honest to god truth is a crazy conspiracy theorist, right?

:sarcasm:
