FOR NEW
9-11 INVESTIGATION

On October 26, 2004, over 100 respected
individuals and family members launched a massive drive calling for
an immediate inquiry into evidence that suggest high level government
officials may have deliberately allowed the attacks on September 11,
2001 to occur. An August 31, 2004 Zogby poll indicated that almost
50% of New Yorkers believe the government had prior knowledge and
failed to act with 66% wanting a new 9-11 investigation.
Organizers of this effort call
the recent 9-11 Kean Commission the "9-11 Omission Commission." They
are focusing on twelve questions highlighting areas of "incriminating
evidence that were either inadequately explored or ignored by the
Kean Commission." These areas in question span from insider trading,
funding of the hijackers to intense warnings from foreign governments
that were ignored and inactive defenses around the Pentagon. This
group is asking for four immediate things to happen: (1) an immediate
investigation by Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General for the State of
New York, (2) Congressional hearings, (3) media analysis and (4) formation
of a "truly independent citizens-based inquiry."
According to their press release,
below is a list of requests and questions.
1. Why were standard operating
procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day?
2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly
deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?
3. Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary
school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the
schoolchildren?
4. Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded
for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?
5. Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published
the results of multiple investigations into trading that strongly
suggested foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting
in tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains?
6. Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims
to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with
a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by
a Bush-appointed judge?
7. How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon,
have flown back towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being
detected by the FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by
the US military?
8. How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos
of the alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses,
restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent?
9. What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our
government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?
10. Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that
the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the
week of 9/11 and reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered
the ringleader of the hijackers?
11. Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the
39 questions posed by the families of the victims, in addition to
almost all of the questions posed here?
12. Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director
of the ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored
a book with Condoleezza Rice? Those who are demanding deeper inquiry
now number in the hundreds of thousands, including a former member
of the first Bush administration, a retired Air Force colonel, a European
parliamentarian, families of the victims, highly respected authors,
investigative journalists, peace and justice leaders, former Pentagon
staff, and the National Green Party.
As Americans of conscience,
we ask for four things:
1. An immediate investigation
by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer
2. Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings.
3. Media attention to scrutinize and investigate the evidence.
4. The formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry.
The organization has also announced
a press conference at Eliot Spitzer's Manhattan office at 2:00PM on
Thursday, Oct. 28th where 9/11 family members and victim group representatives
will file a formal complaint demanding the first criminal investigation
of 9/11 events by the New York Attorney General.
