Chain of Deceit: From the Pentagon to the 9/11 Commission to the Public


How many warnings were there in the summer of 2001?

Why all the obstacles and subterfuge?

Why did Junior need Vice to testify with him and not be underoath?

Would you have interviewed Bonnie and Clyde togather?

Chain of Deceit: From the Pentagon to the 9/11 Commission to the Public:

Astonishing as it sounds, a conference featuring the 9/11 Scholars for Truth was aired on C-SPAN.

-- In his Washington Post article, '9/11 Panel Suspected Deception by Pentagon,' Dan Eggen reported, 'Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public. . .'

'We to this day don't know why NORAD told us what they told us,' Commission Chair Thomas H. Kean said. 'It was just so far from the truth.'

-- According to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll, 'More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East.'

Still more surprising, 16 percent think the collapse of the World Trade Towers was expedited by controlled demolition while 12 percent suspect the Pentagon was struck by a missile, not Flight 77.

Eye-opening as these results are, they're not unprecedented. According to Scripps/Howard, 'The level of suspicion of U.S. official involvement in a 9/11 conspiracy was only slightly behind the 40 percent who suspect 'officials in the federal government were directly responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy.''

Kean's colleague, 9/11 Commisssion vice chair Lee Hamilton, conceded the results of the poll. 'A lot of people I've encountered believe the U.S. government was involved.' But he remains unmoved. 'Of course, we don't think the evidence leads that way at all.'"
