U.N. Official Calls for Study Of Neocons' Role in 9/11.
http://www2.nysun.com/article/74465

WASHINGTON — A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

On March 26, Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, was named by unanimous vote to a newly created position to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. While Mr. Falk's specialty is human rights and international law, since the attacks in 2001, he has devoted some of his time to challenging what he calls the "9-11 official version."

1. Also study what neocons invested in 'put' options that airline stocks
would crash on 9/11. Nobody has answered that question yet.

2. Also study what happened with the 20+ warnings we got before 9/11
The 20+ warnings from 14+ countries that we were about to be hit, but that we didn't pay attention to.

this thread will be deleted so it doesn't matter

4. I'm surprised the NY Sun would print this
That rag is neocon to the core. It makes the NY Post look rational by comparison.

5. Actually you are right, they are ultimately slamming the UN choice of Falk
as the human rights liaison between Israel and Palestine, saying in effect that he is kooky. Near the end of page two they comment heavily on his anti-Israeli comments and his pro-Palestinian stance and so on. Basically the whole article is a set up calling him a misguided, conspiracy nut. Apparently Israel is planning on barring his entry to their country.

6. Meta narrative - and DIGG THIS!
Eli Lake is trying to get Falk kicked off his UN post watchdogging Israel.

Falk has NOT asked for or recommended a Commission to study 9/11 in his capacity at the UN. Lake is just using this as a 'peg' to bash Falk.

However, he does say "false flag" which is pretty cool.
