Is the Reopen 9/11 Documentary Reputable?
I watched all the quick time segments and it had a real impact on me.

Question: Is this group reputable

Has there been any sort of comprehensive rebutting of the arguments made in their documentary.

2. Nay-sayers will say no, 9-11 CT's will say yes,
for the most part, regarding that documentary and this group being reputable.

Likewise regarding the comprehensiveness of the rebuttals.

I'd suggest you look at the arguments and make up your own mind.


One set of arguments that i find rather compelling is the 911eyewitness DVD on this site:
http://www.911eyewitness.com/
It deals almost exclusively with the collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7.

3. I've seen it.
Reopen911.org is the pet project of millionaire philanthropist, Jimmy Walters.

The Lone Star Iconoclast put him on the front cover of issue #49, which you can view here. It's a good interview.

Walters incorporates several different approaches to critiqueing the 'official story' of 9/11 which was presented to us by the Bush administration, and bolstered by the 'balanced partisanship' visible in the work of the 9/11 Commission.

He does not exclude theories that claim that an aircraft other than Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, and until I see a couple of the confiscated videotapes which obviously show the attack on the Pentagon, neither do I. (sorry, but 5 blurry pixilated frames just don't cut it).

The Iconoclast interviews Dave Von Kleist, who is the most notorious of the 'Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon' theorists, here. Von Klest is part of the Reopen911 crowd.

IMO, The Lone Star Iconoclast is a reputable journal. They have chosen to give Walters a fair shake.

Also part of Walters' club is Jenna Orkin, an activist who is concerned primarily with the environmental effects of 9/11. She makes a strong case... here is some firsthand testimony that backs up her argument.

The Canadian TV journalist, Barry Zwicker has thrown in with Walters, and his video is part of the tour Walters conducted that went across America and through Europe. You can order it and look at the transcript for his video here.

Zwicker is a respected journalist and media critic with a stellar pedigree, with a long history working directly for and around the Canadian mainstream press.

David Ray Griffin is part of the Reopen911 club, a respected Professor of Theology, with two books about 9/11 under his belt that have been well-received, here is one of his more recent articles.

6. Cooper Anderson Had Walters on CNN about a year ago and was fair to him.
FWIW, he presented a reasonable case although it seemed shocking at the time. Now, I think everything he said has been pretty much accepted. I've never heard him discredited as having an ulterior motive or spreading disinfo . I have never seen him connected to anti semitic groups or other biased groups either.
