Selected summary of Alan Miller's work:

Terrell E. Arnold, MA Former Deputy Director of Counter-Terrorism and Emergency Planning, U.S. State Department. "Washington leadership keeps the American people fixated on the events of 9/11. They have brought us no closer than we were on September 12, 2001, to resolving how it was executed and by what enemy... As an alleged post 9/11 defense, the War on Terrorism is a gigantic fraud." He also stated, "There is a lot of work in getting sixteen people ready to commit voluntary and simultaneous suicide. The case has not been made..."

Angelo Codevilla, PhD Former U.S. State Department Foreign Service officer specializing in U.S. intelligence operations in Western Europe. "Seven years after Osama bin Laden's last verifiable appearance among the living, there is more evidence for Elvis's presence among us than for his."

Edward Peck Former Deputy Coordinator, Covert Intelligence Programs, U.S. State Department.In October 2004, soon after the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, Mr. Peck and over 100 prominent Americans signed a petition urging Congress to immediately reinvestigate 9/11.

A Pentagon eye-witness and a former member of the staff of the Director of the National Security Agency, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret) wrote, "...as a scientist ... I have the most trouble with the official government conspiracy theory, mainly because it does not satisfy the rules of probability or physics. The collapses of the World Trade Center buildings clearly violate the laws of probability and physics."

Maj. John M. Newman, PhD, U.S. Army (ret) Former Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Security Agency. "The 9/11 Commission ... neglected to cover the (intelligence) communitys performance during the weeks following the attacks to determine who was responsible... The 9/11 plotters eventually spent somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 to plan and conduct their attack. The origin of the funds remains unknown ."

Maj. John M. Newman CIA, "I think at simplest terms, theres a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke,"

Raymond McGovern, CIA "There are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason theyre unanswered is because this [Bush] administration will not answer the questions." McGovern returned his CIAs Intelligence Commendation Medallion in 2006 in protest of the George W. Bush Administrations advocacy and use of torture.

William Christison, former Director of Regional and Political Analysis at the CIA, also called the 9/11 Commission report "a joke".

Melvin Goodman, former Division Chief of the CIAs Office of Soviet Affairs, called also called the 9/11 Commission report "cover-up."

Robert Baer is another well-known CIA veteran. Baer has repeatedly questioned whether al-Qaida could have accomplished 9/11 alone. "Until we get a complete, honest, transparent investigation--not one based on 'confession' extracted by torture--we will never know what happened on 9/11."

Robert David Steele, CIA, wrote regarding the alternative explantion of 9/11 "I have to tell anyone who cares to read this: I believe it. I believe it enough to want a full investigation that passes the smell test of the 9/11 families as well as objective outside observers." And states "I'm absolutely certain that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition and that, as far as I'm concerned, means that this case has not been properly investigated.

Lynne Larkin, CIA, wrote an open letter that read: "We the undersigned wish to bring to the attention of the Congress and the people of the United States what we believe are serious shortcomings in the (9/11 Commission) report and its recommendations. The omission of such serious and applicable issues and information by itself renders the report flawed, and casts doubt on the validity of many of its recommendations. ... incomplete report of "facts and circumstances", intentional avoidance of assigning accountability, and disregard for the knowledge, expertise and experience of those who actually do the job"

Sibel D. Edmonds Former Language Translation Specialist, FBI wrote in letter to the Commission, "... as a witness to the commission, I made you aware of (omissions). Thus, I must assume that other serious issues that I am not aware of were in the same manner omitted from your report. These omissions cast doubt on the validity of your report..."

Coleen Rowle, Former Special Agent and Minneapolis Division, revealed FBIs efforts to "throw up roadblocks and undermine" FBI field investigations of al-Qaida operatives in the weeks prior to 9/11 and directly contradicts Condilissa Rices assertions about "no-one could have forseen 9/11"

Robert G. Wright, Jr. Special Agent, International Terrorism Unit, FBI. The only FBI agent to seize terrorist funds (over $1.4 million) prior to 9/11 filed a lawsuit against the FBI seeking approval for publication of his 500-page manuscript, stated, "The FBI's conscious failure to undertake criminal investigations of suspected terrorists in the United States ..." linking this failure to Washington.

Bogdan Dzakovic, FAA Counter-terrorism stated (9/11 Report, Best is incompetent) "...At worst, I think the 9/11 Commission Report is treasonous."

Steve Elson Former Special Agent with the U.S. Navy, DEA and FAA. Mr. Elson was interviewed for an article in Salon.com in August 2004, which reported, "A former Navy SEAL and Drug Enforcement Administration rep in South America, Elson is not a timid man. I'd give the commission a 'D' for investigating the FAA, he declares. ... The commissioners knew a lot more than they included in the 9/11 report, he says. They sold out."

Major General Albert Stubblebine, U.S. Army (ret), former Commanding General of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), said, "One of my experiences in the Army was being in charge of the Armys Imagery Interpretation for Scientific and Technical Intelligence during the Cold War. I measured pieces of Soviet equipment from photographs. It was my job. I look at the hole in the Pentagon and I look at the size of an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon. And I said, The plane does not fit in that hole. So what did hit the Pentagon?

Senator Mike Gravel Former U.S. Army officer, serving as the Adjutant in the Communications Intelligence Service in Germany and as a Special Agent in the Counter Intelligence Corps in France. Entered over 4,000 pages of the Pentagon Papers into the U.S. Senate record, making public the secret official study that revealed the lies and manipulations of successive U.S. administrations that misled the country into the Vietnam War. In a November 2006 speech, he said, "After five years of talking to many individuals in the intelligence community, in the military, foreign intelligence agencies, and a whole host of other people, people from the air traffic control community, the FAA, I came to the conclusion that after five years what we saw happen on that morning of September 11, 2001, was the result of a highly-compartmentalized covert operation to bring about a fascist coup in this country. ..."

Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, former Chief of the Armys Controlled HUMINT (Human Intelligence) Program "...basic law enforcement investigative techniques, with 21st Century data mining and analytical tools ... resulted in the establishment of a new form of intelligence collection and the identification of Mohammed Atta and several other of the 9-11 terrorists as having links to Al Qaeda leadership a full year in advance of the attacks. ...

Capt. Eric H. May Former U.S. Army Intelligence officer stated "As a former Army officer, my tendency immediately after 9/11 was to rally round the colors and defend the country against what I then thought was an insidious, malicious all-Arab entity called Al-Qaida.... Now I view the 9/11 event as Professor David Griffin... views it: as a matter that implies either passive participation by the Bush White House through a deliberate stand-down of proper defense or worse ... active execution of a plot by rogue elements of government..."

Capt. Gregory M. Zeigler, PhD Former U.S. Army Intelligence officer wrote, "I knew from September 18, 2001, that the official story about 9/11 was false... the hijackers' names appearing in none of the published flight passenger lists, BBC reports of stolen identities of the alleged hijackers or the alleged hijackers being found alive, the obvious demolitions of WTC 1 and 2 and WTC 7, the lack of identifiable Boeing 757 wreckage at the Pentagon, the impossibility of ordinary cell phone (as opposed to Airfone) calls being made consistently from passenger aircraft at cruising altitude, etc., etc., etc."

William G. Weaver, JD, PhD Former U.S. Army Signals Intelligence officer. "The Commission was created and put in place due to the relentless pressure and outcry by the 9/11 family members and their public supporters who had three objectives in mind: 1) Getting all the facts; 2) Establishing Accountability for those who failed us due to their intentional or unintentional acts; 3) Provide recommendation for real fixes and meaningful remedies. The Commission fulfilled none of those three objectives. "
