Scholars Question Cheney's Role in 9/11
Scholars Question Cheney's Role in 9/11

Duluth, MN (PRWEB) March 13, 2006 -- A society of experts and scholars contends that the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui -- for willfully concealing advance knowledge of the events of 9/11 -- has the status of a Soviet-style "show trial" and functions as a diversion from the real culprits. The nonpartisan group, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, asserts that the evidence implicating Vice President Dick Cheney of that very offense is more obvious and compelling. If they are even remotely correct, then the alleged terrorists appear to have been cast in the role of "patsies."

1. The Mineta Testimony.
Now that's a square peg in the Commission's round hole, right there.

2. And Newsweek's statement in the article about Cheney
that he got to the WH bunker around 9:35 may be the MSM's dam beginning to break.

"Around 9:35 on the morning of 9/11, Cheney was lifted off his feet by the Secret Service and hustled into the White House bunker. Cheney testified to the 9/11 Commission that he spoke with President Bush before giving an order to shoot down a hijacked civilian airliner that appeared headed toward Washington. (The plane was United Flight 93, which crashed in a Pennsylvania field after a brave revolt by the passengers.) But a source close to the commission, who declined to be identified revealing sensitive information, says that none of the staffers who worked on this aspect of the investigation believed Cheney's version of events.

"A draft of the report conveyed their skepticism. But when top White House officials, including chief of staff Andy Card and the then White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, reviewed the draft, they became extremely agitated. After a prolonged battle, the report was toned down. The factual narrative, closely read, offers no evidence that Cheney sought initial authorization from the president. The point is not a small one. Legally, Cheney was required to get permission from his commander in chief, who was traveling (but reachable) at the time. If the public ever found out that Cheney gave the order on his own, it would have strongly fed the view that he was the real power behind the throne."

March 13, 2006 - A society of experts and scholars contends that the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui -- for willfully concealing advance knowledge of the events of 9/11 -- has the status of a Soviet-style "show trial" and functions as a diversion from the real culprits. The nonpartisan group, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, asserts that the evidence implicating Vice President Dick Cheney of that very offense is more obvious and compelling. If they are even remotely correct, then the alleged terrorists appear to have been cast in the role of "patsies." The experts base their conclusion on testimony presented to the 9/11 Commission by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta on May 23, 2003, which was omitted from its final report, and on related events at the Pentagon. Members of the society will present their findings during a press conference to be held at 1 PM on Tuesday at the United States Courthouse in Alexandria, VA, the location of a trial to determine whether Moussaoui should receive the death sentence.

6. You should find a better source of information

I don't know the provenance of RBNLive but when they are associated with Neo-Nazis (see http://tinyurl.com/s5j5v) and have articles like this one (http://www.rbnlive.com/judaism.html -- notice the cutesy graphic of the Jewish octopus encircling and embracing the world) it's a pretty fair bet that any progressive should cringe at the thought of getting their information there.

8. Michael Collins Piper is a neo-nazi who believes Mossad assassinated JFK
(& wrote a book about it - "The Final Judgement") and touts his theories in the far-right media.

11. It's a better fit
than Oswald.

Not that his speaking about the 911 lies has anything to do with it.

9. Being more open minded to neo-nazis?
Like you? No, I'm pretty sure the neo-nazi agenda is as deplorable as the historical Nazi agenda.
