9/11, Has America Been Told The Truth? Asia Digest

[scubadiver]

September 11th, a day that will always be remembered for the way two monumental Manhattan buildings collapsed in the most inconceivable manner marginable. Undoubtedly, that carnage will occupy an indelible leaf in the history of the world, leaving an omnipresent emotional scar on the thousands of families that lost a loved one on that day.

Of course when it comes to disturbing questions which need answering, it's a question of diferent strokes for different folks.

Besides using the expression "9/11 Wars" constantly, because it keeps reminding people of why we are at war, I, like Tony, have found the technique of asking disturbing questions much more effective than telling people about factual evidence of false flag involvement. Recently I seem by this method to have converted an old professor of history friend who for the past five years has been telling me I have been barking up the wrong tree with my suspicions of government involvement in the attacks.

To do this I used the following questions:

DISTURBING QUESTIONS

Here for information are just a few of the hundreds of unanswered questions which disturb me:

1 Why has there been no investigation into who planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks? Why was such inquiry ruled outside the remit of the 9/11 Commission? http://www.vegsource.com/talk/flame/messages/6024.html

2 Why does the FBI claim there is insufficient evidence to indict Osama bin Laden for the 9/11 attacks, when the US, UK, other governments and even the UN claim there was enough evidence against him and Al Qaeda to start the war in Afghanistan? http://911review.org/Media/Bin-Laden-Not-Wanted-for_9_11.html

3 Why has the international and US law requirement to investigate murder been breached? (In the event of homicide the Inter-American Court for the Protection of Human Rights has through its jurisprudence given substance to the concept of the right to truth stating: *The State has a duty to commence ex officio and without delay a serious fair and effective investigation which is not undertaken as a mere formality condemned in advance to be fruitless*)

4 Why, when immediately following the 9/11 attacks the US government rushed the Patriot Bill through Congress, were anthrax spores sent to those particular senators who were opposing its passage on civil libertarian grounds, after which they caved in to government demands? Why, if the anthrax had come from Al Qaeda, was it later found to be weapons grade and probably to have originated in a US military laboratory? http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/MAR201A.html

5 Why did World Trade Center building 7 (aka Saloman Brothers 47 story skyscraper), which had not been hit by an aircraft on 9/11, at 5.20pm collapse symmetrically at free-fall speed into its own footprint in the manner of a highly sophisticated controlled demolition? http://www.vic911truth.org/smokingguns.html

6 Why did an alleged hijacker’s passport survive the impact, to be found intact on the street? http://911research.wtc7.net/disinfo/deceptions/passport.html

7 Why have 9/11 Commissioners, including chair and vice chair Kean and Hamilton, now said the Commission was *set up to fail* while accusing government agencies, including the Pentagon, of lying to them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Commission

8 Why does philosophy professor and world federalist David Ray Griffin list over 100 lies he has discovered in the 9/11 Commission report? Why did world federalist Richard Falk write the foreword of one of Griffin's books about it? http://www.septembereleventh.org/newsarchive/2005-05-22-571pglie.php

9 Why did Bush, Cheney and Rice not testify to the Commission under oath as the other witnesses did? http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/29/bush.911.commission/

10 Why have the results of the promised investigation into who made massive $millions by purchasing *put options* (bets that the share values would slump) on United Airlines and American Airlines not been released, despite the fact that investment in these options implies that the investors had foreknowledge of these two airlines’ planes being involved in the attacks?

11 Since the US Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended Operation Northwoods to the Kennedy government, which rejected it, is it beyond the bounds of possibility that the G W Bush government could have accepted a similar proposal to justify invasion in the Middle East? The Northwoods scheme was to create a series of attacks on US targets, including a passenger airliner over Cuba, in order to justify a US invasion of that country. The JCS wrote: *It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner en route from the United States...* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I added to the questions the following list of "distinguished doubters" of the official conspiracy theory. We should not overlook the power of drawing people's attention to the calibre of those who doubt the OCT:

DISTINGUISHED DOUBTERS OF OFFICIAL CONSPIRACY THEORY

Additionally there are hundreds of professionals in relevant fields of knowledge: architects, engineers, pilots, military officers, professors, fire-fighters, government officials, first responders and sundry whistle-blowers, who question the official account. Many of them can be found here: ref "ref "http://patriotsquestion911.com/"" Can they all be dismissed as *conspiracy theorists*?

Very good article; looks like the CFR forgot to pull Asia Digest directors into it's orbit!
