Are
These 9/11 Whistleblowers Credible?
9/11 Blogger
Friday December 7, 2007
The following people question the
government’s version of 9/11.
(Are they credible or not?):
MILITARY LEADERS
Col. Ronald D. Ray
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan said
that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn’t hunt."
Col. Robert Bowman
Director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican
and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who
flew 101 combat missions stated that 9/11 was an inside job. He also said:
"If our government had merely [done]
nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot - I know the drill,
I know what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the
procedures are, I know what they were, and I know what they’ve changed
them to - if our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal
procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers would
still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive.
That is treason!"
Capt. Daniel
Davis U.S. Army Air
Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director, decorated with the Purple Heart,
the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal stated:
‘there is no way than an aircraft…
would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn
off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control…
Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a ‘conspiracy theory’ does
not change the truth. It seems, 'Something is rotten in the State.'"
Lt. Col. Jeff
Latas President of the
U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board, who also served as Pentagon
Weapons Requirement Officer and as a member of the Pentagon’s Quadrennial
Defense Review, and who was awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for
Heroism, four Air Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial
Achievement Medals is a member of a group which doubts the government’s
version of 9/11
General Wesley
Clark U.S. General,
Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander
Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart
said:
"We’ve never finished the investigation
of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence
information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I’ve seen
that for a long time."
Lt. Colonel
Karen Kwiatkowski Air
Force Colonel and key Pentagon official finds various aspects of 9/11
suspicious.
Lt. Colonel Steve
Butler
Lieutenant colonel, 24-year Air Force
career, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at the Defense Language
Institute said "Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on
America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed
this war on terrorism."
Major General Albert
Stubbelbine Two-Star
general questions the attack on the Pentagon.
Lt. Colonel Guy S.
Razer U.S. Air Force
fighter pilot, former instructor at the USAF Fighter Weapons School and
NATO’S Tactical Leadership Program, with a 20-year Air Force Career said
the following:
"I am 100% convinced that the attacks
of September 11, 2001 were planned; organized, and committed by
treasonous perpetrators that have infiltrated the highest levels of our
government.
Those of us in the military took an
oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Just because we have
retired does not make that oath invalid, so it is not just our
responsibility, it is our duty to expose the real perpetrators of 9/11
and bring them to justice, no matter how hard it is, how long it takes,
or how much we have to suffer to do it.
We owe it to those who have gone before
us who executed that same oath, and who are doing the same thing in Iraq
and Afghanistan right now. Those of us who joined the military and
faithfully executed orders that were given us had to trust our leaders.
The violation and abuse of that trust is not only heinous, but
ultimately the most accurate definition of treason!"
Lt. Colonel Shelton
F. Lankford U.S. Marine
Corps lieutenant colonel, a fighter pilot with over 300 combat missions
flown and a 21-year Marine Corps career believes that 9/11 was an inside
job, and said:
"This isn’t about party, it isn’t about
Bush bashing. It’s about our country, our constitution, and our
future.
Your countrymen have been murdered and
the more you delve into it the more it looks as though they were
murdered by our government, who used it as an excuse to murder other
people thousands of miles away.
If you ridicule others who have sincere
doubts and who know factual information that directly contradicts the
official report and who want explanations from those who hold the keys
to our government, and have motive, means, and opportunity to pull off a
9/11, but you are too lazy or fearful, or to check into the facts
yourself, what does that make you?
Are you afraid that you will learn the
truth and you can’t handle it?"
Commander Ralph
Kolstad U.S. Navy ‘Top
Gun’ pilot who questions the official account of 9/11 and is calling for a
new investigation, says:
"When one starts using his own mind,
and not what one was told, there is very little to believe in the
official story".
The Group Director on
matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office
said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the
9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting
responsibility.
Additionally, numerous
military leaders from allied governments have questioned 9/11, such as:
Paul Hellyer
Canadian Minister of Defense, the top military leader of Canada
Andreas Von Bulow
Assistant German Defense Minister
Anatoli Kornukov
Commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy
General Leonid Ivashov
Chief of staff of the Russian armed forces
INTELLIGENCE PROFESSIONALS
Daniel Ellsberg
Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg recently
said that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive
than the Pentagon Papers". He also said that the government is ordering
the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11. And he said that
some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible,
that "very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S.
government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might
have been," that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically
beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there’s enough
evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with
subpoenas and testimony taken under oath.
Raymond McGovern
A 27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and
personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan
and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials said:
"I think at simplest terms, there’s a
cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke,"
and is open to the
possibility that 9/11was an inside job.
William Bill
Christison A 29-year CIA
veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former Director of
the CIA’s Office of Regional and Political Analysis said:
"I now think there is persuasive
evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush
administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. ... All
three [buildings that were destroyed in the World Trade Center] were
most probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed
in the buildings before 9/11."
David Steele
20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking
civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine
services case officer stated that:
"9/11 was at a minimum allowed to
happen as a pretext for war,"
and it was probably an
inside job.
Robert Baer
A decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative
reporter Seymour Hersh called "perhaps the best on-the-ground field
officer in the Middle East", and whose astounding career formed the script
for the Academy Award winning motion picture Syriana said that:
"the evidence points at" 9/11 having
had aspects of being an inside job.
Melvin Goodman
The Division Chief of the CIA’s Office of Soviet Affairs, who served as
Senior Analyst from 1966-1990, also served as Professor of International
Security at the National War College from 1986-2004 said:
"The final [9/11 Commission] report is
ultimately a cover up."
Major John M. Newman,
PhD, U.S. Army Professor
of History and International Relations, University of Maryland. Former
Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Security Agency,
former military attaché in China, 21-year career in U.S. Army Intelligence
questions the government’s version of the events of 9/11.
Mike McConnel
The head of all U.S. intelligence, the Director of National Intelligence
said:
"9/11 should have and could have been
prevented."
9/11 COMMISSIONERS
The 9/11 Commissioners knew that military
officials lied to the Commission, and considered recommending criminal
charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American
people.
Thomas Keane and Lee
Hamilton Indeed, the
co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated
based upon political considerations.
9/11 Commission
co-chair Lee Hamilton
says:
"I don’t believe for a minute we got
everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people
should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should
continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only "the first draft"
of history.
9/11 Commissioner Bob
Kerrey said:
"There are ample reasons to suspect
that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version…
We didn’t have access…
9/11 Commissioner
Timothy Roemer said:
"We were extremely frustrated with the
false statements we were getting."
Former 9/11
Commissioner Max Cleland
resigned from the Commission, stating:
"It is a national scandal." "This
investigation is now compromised." One of these days we will have to
get the full story because the 9/11 issue is so important to America.
But this White House wants to cover it up.
The Senior Counsel
to the 9/11 Commission John Farmer
who led the 9/11staff's inquiry said:
"I was shocked at how different the
truth was from the way it was described... The tapes told a radically
different story from what had been told to us and the public for two
years... This is not spin. This is not true."
SCIENTISTS
Dr. David L. Griscom
A prominent physicist with 33 years of service for the Naval Research
Laboratory in Washington, DC said that the official theory for why the
Twin Towers and World Trade Center Building 7 collapsed:
"does not match the available facts"
and supports the theory
that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition.
Dr. Lynn Margulis
A world-renowned scientist, recipient of the National Medal of Science,
America’s highest honor for scientific achievement said:
"I suggest that those of us aware and
concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11
be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough, and impartial investigation
be undertaken."
Dr. James Quintiere
The former head of the Fire Science Division of the government agency
which claims that the World Trade Centers collapsed due to fire (the
National Institute of Standards and Technology), who is one of the world’s
leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, a Ph.D. in
mechanical engineering, called for an independent review of the World
Trade Center Twin Tower collapse investigation.
"I wish that there would be a peer
review of this," he said, referring to the NIST investigation. "I think
all the records that NIST has assembled should be archived. I would
really like to see someone else take a look at what they’ve done; both
structurally and from a fire point of view. ... I think the official
conclusion that NIST arrived at is questionable."
Dwain A. Deets
Former Director for Research, Director for Aeronautical Projects, and
Flight Research Program Manager for NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center,
who holds masters degrees in both physics and engineering says:
"The many visual images (massive
structural members being hurled horizontally, huge pyroclastic clouds,
etc.) leave no doubt in my mind explosives were involved [in the
destruction of the World Trade Centers on 9/11]."
Dr. Steven E. Jones
A prominent physicist, former U.S. professor of physics at a top
university, and a former principal investigator the U.S. Department of
Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects stated that the World Trade
Centers were brought down by controlled demolition.
Dr. Crockett Grabbe
U.S. physics professor who teaches at several universities believes that
the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition.
Bent Lund
An expert on demolition said that the Trade centers were brought down with
explosives (translated from Danish)
Danny Jowenko
A Dutch demolition expert stated that WTC 7 was imploded.
Dr. Heikki KurttiIa
A safety engineer and accident analyst for the Finnish National Safety
Technology Authority stated regarding WTC 7 that:
"The great speed of the collapse and
the low value of the resistance factor strongly suggest controlled
demolition."
Dr. Joel Hirschhorn
A13-year professor of metallurgical engineering at a U.S. University,
with a PhD in materials engineering, a former Congressional Office of
Technology Assessment Senior Staff Member, is calling for a new
investigation of 9/11.
Dr. Niels Harrit
A Danish professor of chemistry said, in a mainstream Danish newspaper:
"WTC7 collapsed exactly like a house of
cards. If the fires or damage in one corner had played a decisive role,
the building would have fallen in that direction. You don't have to be
a woodcutter to grasp this" (translated)
Dr. Bruce R. Henry
A former guidance systems engineer for Polaris and Trident missiles and
professor emeritus, mathematics and computer science at a university
concluded that the Twin Towers:
"were brought down by planted
explosives."
Gary Welz
A professor of mathematics said:
"The official explanation that I’ve
heard doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t explain why I heard and felt
an explosion before the South Tower fell and why the concrete was
pulverized"
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS AND
ARCHITECTS
Marx Ayres
A prominent engineer with 55 years experience, in charge of the
design of hundreds of major building projects including high rise offices,
former member of the California Seismic Safety Commission and former
member of the National Institute of Sciences Building Safety Council
believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled
demolition.
Dr. Joerg Schneider and Dr. Hugo Bachmann
Two professors of structural engineering at a prestigious Swiss
university said that, on 9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by
controlled demolition.
Richard Gage
An architect, member of the American Institute of Architects, who has been
a practicing architect for 20 years and has been responsible for the
production of construction documents for numerous steel-framed and
fire-protected buildings for uses in many different areas, including
education, civic, rapid transit and industrial use disputes the claim that
fire and airplane damage brought down the World Trade Centers and believes
there is strong evidence of controlled demolition.

Gerry Spence
Famed trial attorney questions the government’s version of 9/11.
William Veale
Former Instructor of Criminal Trial Practice, Boalt Hall School of Law,
University of California at Berkeley 11-year teaching career, retired
Chief Assistant Public Defender, Contra Costa County, California, 31-year
career said:
"When you grow up in the United States,
there are some bedrock principles that require concerted effort to
discard. One is the simplest: that our leaders are good and decent
people whose efforts may occasionally warrant criticism but never
because of malice or venality... But one grows up.
…And with the lawyer’s training comes
the reliance on evidence and the facts that persuade... After a lot of
reading, thought, study, and commiseration, I have come to the
conclusion that the attacks of 9/11 were, in their essence, an inside
job perpetrated at the highest levels of the U S government."
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Patrick Leahy
Current U.S. Senator states:
"The two questions that the congress will
not ask is.. Why did 9/11 happen on George Bush’s watch when he had clear
warnings that it was going to happen? And, why did they allow it to
happen?"
Ron Paul
Current Republican Congressman states:
"we see the [9/11] investigations that
have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of
what went on"
Dennis Kucinich
Current Democratic Congressman hints that we aren't being told the truth
about 9/11.
Mike Gravel
Former Democratic senator states that he supports a new 9/11
investigation and that we don’t know the truth about 9/11.
Curt Weldon
Former U.S. Republican congressman and senior member of the House Armed
Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the
Military Research and Development Subcommittee has shown that the U.S.
tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about
explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11
was an inside job.
FAMILY MEMBERS AND HEROIC FIRST RESPONDERS
A common criticism of those
who question 9/11 is that they are being "disrespectful to the victims and
their families". However, half of the victim’s families believe that 9/11
was an inside job (according to the head of the largest 9/11 family group,
Bill Doyle). Many family and friends of victims not only support the
search for 9/11 truth, but they demand it.
Indeed, it has now become
so clear that the 9/11 Commission was a whitewash that the same 9/11
widows who called for the creation of the 9/11 Commission are now
demanding a NEW investigation.
And dying heroes,
soon-to-be victims themselves, the first responders who worked tirelessly
to save lives on and after 9/11, say that controlled demolition
brought down the Twin Towers and that a real investigation is
necessary.
PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS
Finally, those who attack
people who question the government’s version of 9/11 as "crazy" may wish
to review the list of mental health professionals who have concluded that
the official version of 9/11 is false:
Carol S. Wolman, MD
Psychiatrist
E. Martin Schotz
Psychiatrist
D. Lawrence Burk, Jr., MD
Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke
University Medical Center, as well as Radiology, at Duke University
Medical Center,

Graham Harris
Retired Professor of Psychology at Oxford University,
Ronald Feintech Ph.D.
Clinical Psychology from the University of Nebraska and licensed
Psychologist,
Richard Welser Ph.D.
Clinical Neuropsychologist,
THOUSANDS OF OTHERS
Here are a few "others":
Louis Freeh
The former director of the FBI says there was a cover up by the 9/11
Commission
Robin Hordon
Former air traffic controller, who knows the flight corridor which the
two planes which hit the Twin Towers flew "like the back of my hand" and
who handled two actual hijackings says
that 9/11 could not have occurred as
the government says, and that planes can be tracked on radar even when
their transponders are turned off.
Perhaps "the premiere
collapse expert in the country", who 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer
referred to as a "very, very respected expert on building collapse," the
head of the New York Fire Department’s Special Operations Command and the
most highly decorated firefighter in its NYFD history, who had previously
commanded rescue operations at many difficult and complex disasters,
including the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing,
and the many natural disasters worldwide" thought that the collapse of the
South Tower was caused by bombs, because the collapse of the building was
too fast to have been caused by anything else.
Morton Goulder
Former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford,
and Carter,
Edward L. Peck
former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism, and
J. Michael Springmann
former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer, as well as a who’s
Who of liberals and independents) who jointly call for a new investigation
into 9/11.
Robert Wright
Former FBI agent says:
"The FBI, rather than trying to prevent
a terrorist attack, was merely gathering intelligence so they would know
who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred."
Sibel Edmonds
Former FBI translator, who the Department of Justice’s Inspector General
and several senators have called extremely credible, said:
"If they were to do real
investigations, we would see several significant high level criminal
prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not
going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover
this up".
She also is leaning towards the
conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job.
