Official Account of 9/11:
“Impossible”, “A Bunch of Hogwash”, “Total B.S.”,
“Ludicrous”, “A Well-Organized Cover-up”, “A White-Washed
Farce”
January 14, 2008 – Twenty-five former U.S. military officers
have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and
called for a new investigation. They include former
commander of U.S. Army Intelligence, Major General Albert
Stubblebine, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense,
Col. Ronald D. Ray, two former staff members of the Director
of the National Security Agency; Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski,
PhD, and Major John M. Newman, PhD, and many others. They
are among the rapidly growing number of military and
intelligence service veterans, scientists, engineers, and
architects challenging the government’s story. The
officers’ statements appear below, listed alphabetically. |
Lt. Col. Robert Bowman, PhD |
“A lot of these pieces of information,
taken together, prove that the official story, the official
conspiracy theory of 9/11 is a bunch of hogwash. It’s
impossible,” said Lt. Col. Robert Bowman, PhD, U.S.
Air Force (ret).
[1]
With doctoral degrees in Aeronautics and Nuclear
Engineering, Col. Bowman served as Director of Advanced
Space Programs Development under Presidents Gerald Ford and
Jimmy Carter.
“There’s a second group of facts having to do with the cover
up,” continued Col. Bowman. “Taken together these things
prove that high levels of our government don’t want us to
know what happened and who’s responsible. Who gained from
9/11? Who covered up crucial information about 9/11? And
who put out the patently false stories about 9/11 in the
first place? When you take those three things together, I
think the case is pretty clear that it’s highly placed
individuals in the administration with all roads passing
through Dick Cheney.” |
Regarding the failure of NORAD to
intercept the four hijacked planes on 9/11, Col. Bowman
said, “I'm an old interceptor pilot. I know the drill.
I've done it. I know how long it takes. I know the rules.
… Critics of the government story on 9/11 have said: ‘Well,
they knew about this, and they did nothing’. That's not
true. If our government had done nothing that day and let
normal procedure be followed, those planes, wherever they
were, would have been intercepted, the Twin Towers would
still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would
still be alive.”
[2]
During his 22-year Air Force career, Col. Bowman also served
as the Head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering
and Assistant Dean at the U.S. Air Force Institute of
Technology. He also flew over 100 combat missions in Viet
Nam as a fighter pilot. |
Lt. Jeff Dahlstrom |
Former U.S. Air Force pilot
Lt. Jeff Dahlstrom wrote
in a 2007 statement to this author, “When 9/11 occurred I
bought the entire government and mainstream media story
line. I was a lifelong conservative Republican that voted
for Bush/Cheney, twice. Curiosity about JFK’s death, after
a late night TV re-run of Oliver Stone’s movie, got me
started researching and digging for the truth about his
assassins.
“My research led me to a much more important and timely
question: the mystery of what really did happen on 9/11.
Everything that seemed real, turned out to be false. The US
government and the news media, once again, were lying to the
world about the real terrorists and the public murder of
2,972 innocents on 9/11. |
“The ‘Patriot Act’ was
actually written prior to 9/11 with the intention of
destroying the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. It was
passed by Congress, based upon the government's myth of
9/11, which was in reality a staged hoax. 9/11 was scripted
and executed by rogue elements of the military, FAA,
intelligence, and private contractors working for the US
government.
“In addition to severely curtailing fundamental rights of
Americans, the 9/11 crime was then used by this
administration, the one I originally voted for and
supported, to justify waging two preemptive wars (and most
likely a third war), killing over 4,500 American soldiers,
and killing over one million innocent Afghan and Iraqi
people.
“It was all premeditated. Treason, a false flag military
operation, and betrayal of the trust of the American people
were committed on 9/11 by the highest levels of the US
government and not one person responsible for the crimes, or
the cover-up, has been held accountable for the last six
years.
“After reading fifteen well-researched books, studying eight
or nine DVD documentaries, and devoting months of personal
research and investigation, I have arrived at one ultimate
conclusion: The American government and the US Constitution
have been hijacked and subverted by a group of criminals
that today are the real terrorists. They are in control of
the US government and they have all violated their oaths of
office and committed treason against their own citizens.” |
Capt. Daniel Davis |
Capt. Daniel
Davis is a former U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and
NORAD Tac Director. After his military service, Capt. Davis
served for 15 years as a Senior Manager at General Electric
Turbine (jet) Engine Division and then devoted an additional
15 years as founder and CEO of Turbine Technology Services
Corp., a turbine (jet engine) services and maintenance
company.
In a statement to this author, Capt. Davis wrote, “As a
former General Electric Turbine engineering specialist and
manager and then CEO of a turbine engineering company, I can
guarantee that none of the high tech, high temperature alloy
engines on any of the four planes that crashed on 9/11 would
be completely destroyed, burned, shattered or melted in any
crash or fire. Wrecked, yes, but not destroyed. Where are
all of those engines, particularly at the Pentagon? If jet
powered aircraft crashed on 9/11, those engines, plus wings
and tail assembly, would be there.” |
Decorated with the Bronze Star and the
Soldiers Medal for bravery under fire and the Purple Heart
for injuries sustained in Viet Nam, Capt. Davis also served
in the Army Air Defense Command as Nike Missile Battery
Control Officer for the Chicago-Milwaukee Defense Area.
Capt. Davis continued, “Additionally, in my experience as an
officer in NORAD as a Tactical Director for the
Chicago-Milwaukee Air Defense and as a current private
pilot, there is no way that an aircraft on instrument flight
plans (all commercial flights are IFR) would not be
intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn
off their transponders, or stop communication with Air
Traffic Control. No way! With very bad luck, perhaps one
could slip by, but no there's no way all four of them could!
“Finally, going over the hill and highway and crashing into
the Pentagon right at the wall/ground interface is difficult
for even a small slow single engine airplane and no way for
a 757. Maybe the best pilot in the world could accomplish
that but not these unskilled ‘terrorists’. Attempts to
obscure facts by calling them a ‘Conspiracy Theory’ does not
change the truth. It seems, ‘Something is rotten in the
State’.”
Major Jon I. Fox is a former U.S. Marine
Corps fighter pilot and a retired commercial airline pilot
for Continental Airlines with a 35-year commercial aviation
career. In 2007, in support of the Architects and Engineers[3]
petition to reinvestigate 9/11, he wrote, “On hearing the
military (NORAD/NEAD) excuses for no intercepts on
9/11/2001, I knew from personal experience that they were
lying. I then began re-checking other evidence and found
mostly more lies from the ‘official spokesmen’. Jet fuel
fires at atmospheric pressure do not get hot enough to
weaken steel. Structures do not collapse through themselves
in free fall time with only gravity as the powering force.”

Commander Ralph Kolstad |
Retired U.S. Navy
‘Top Gun’ pilot Commander Ralph Kolstad
started questioning the official account of 9/11 within days
of the event. In a statement to this author, he wrote, “It
just didn’t make any sense to me,” he said. And now six
years after 9/11 he says, “When one starts using his own
mind, and not what one was told, there is very little to
believe in the official story.”
[5]
Commander Kolstad was a top-rated fighter pilot during his
20-year Navy career. Early in his career, he was accorded
the honor of being selected to participate in the Navy’s
‘Top Gun’ air combat school, officially known as the U.S.
Navy Fighter Weapons School. The Tom Cruise movie “Top
Gun” reflects the experience of the young Navy pilots
at the school. Eleven years later, Commander Kolstad was
further honored by being selected to become a ‘Top Gun’
adversary instructor. |
Commander Kolstad had a second career
after his 20 years of Navy active and reserve service and
served as a commercial airline pilot for 27 years, flying
for American Airlines and other domestic and international
careers. He flew Boeing 727, 757 and 767, McDonnell Douglas
MD-80, and Fokker F-100 airliners. He has flown a total of
over 23,000 hours in his career.
Commander Kolstad is especially critical of the account of
American Airlines Flight 77 that allegedly crashed into the
Pentagon. He says, “At the Pentagon, the pilot of the
Boeing 757 did quite a feat of flying. I have 6,000 hours
of flight time in Boeing 757’s and 767’s and I could not
have flown it the way the flight path was described.”
Commander Kolstad adds, “I was also a Navy fighter pilot and
Air Combat Instructor and have experience flying low
altitude, high speed aircraft. I could not have done what
these beginners did. Something stinks to high heaven!”
He points to the physical evidence at the Pentagon impact
site and asks in exasperation, “Where is the damage to the
wall of the Pentagon from the wings? Where are the big
pieces that always break away in an accident? Where is all
the luggage? Where are the miles and miles of wire, cable,
and lines that are part and parcel of any large aircraft?
Where are the steel engine parts? Where is the steel
landing gear? Where is the tail section that would have
broken into large pieces?”
But no major element of the official account of 9/11 is
spared from Commander Kolstad’s criticism. Regarding the
alleged impact site of United Airlines Flight 93 near
Shanksville, PA, he asks, “Where is any of the wreckage? Of
all the pictures I have seen, there is only a hole! Where
is any piece of a crashed airplane? Why was the area
cordoned off, and no inspection allowed by the normal
accident personnel? Where is any evidence at all?”
Commander Kolstad also questions many aspects of the attack
on the World Trade Center. “How could a steel and concrete
building collapse after being hit by a Boeing 767? Didn’t
the engineers design it to withstand a direct hit from a
Boeing 707, approximately the same size and weight of the
767? The evidence just doesn’t add up.”
“Why did the second building collapse before the first one,
which had been burning for 20 minutes longer after a direct
hit, especially when the second one hit was just a glancing
blow? If the fire was so hot, then why were people looking
out the windows
[6]
and in the destroyed areas? Why have so many members of the
New York Fire Department reported seeing or hearing many
‘explosions’ before the buildings collapsed?”
Commander Kolstad summarized his frustration with the
investigation and disbelief of the official account of 9/11,
“If one were to act as an accident investigator, one would
look at the evidence, and then construct a plausible
scenario as to what led to the accident. In this case, we
were told the story and then the evidence was built to
support the story. What happened to any intelligent
investigation? Every question leads to another question
that has not been answered by anyone in authority. This is
just the beginning as to why I don’t believe the official
‘story’ and why I want the truth to be told.” |
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski |
A Pentagon eye-witness
and a former member of the staff of the Director of the
National Security Agency, Lt. Col. Karen
Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret), is a severe
critic of the official account of 9/11. A contributing
author to the 2006 book 9/11 and American Empire:
Intellectuals Speak Out, she wrote, “I believe the
[9/11] Commission failed to deeply examine the topic at
hand, failed to apply scientific rigor to its assessment of
events leading up to and including 9/11, failed to produce a
believable and unbiased summary of what happened, failed to
fully examine why it happened, and even failed to include a
set of unanswered questions for future research.”
She continued, “It is as a scientist that I have the most
trouble with the official government conspiracy theory,
mainly because it does not satisfy the rules of probability
or physics. The collapses of the World Trade Center
buildings clearly violate the laws of probability and
physics.” |
Col. Kwiatkowski was working in the
Pentagon on 9/11 in her capacity as Political-Military
Affairs Officer in the Office of the Secretary of Defense
when Flight 77 allegedly hit the Pentagon. She wrote,
“There was a dearth of visible debris on the relatively
unmarked lawn, where I stood only minutes after the impact.
Beyond this strange absence of airliner debris, there was no
sign of the kind of damage to the Pentagon structure one
would expect from the impact of a large airliner. This
visible evidence or lack thereof may also have been apparent
to the Secretary of Defense [Donald Rumsfeld], who in an
unfortunate slip of the tongue referred to the aircraft that
slammed into the Pentagon as a ‘missile.’
[7]
[Secretary Rumsfeld also publicly referred to Flight 93 as
the plane that was "shot down" over Pennsylvania.[8]
]
“I saw nothing of significance at the point of impact - no
airplane metal or cargo debris was blowing on the lawn in
front of the damaged building as smoke billowed from within
the Pentagon. ... [A]ll of us staring at the Pentagon that
morning were indeed looking for such debris, but what we
expected to see was not evident.
“The same is true with regard to the kind of damage we
expected. ... But I did not see this kind of damage. Rather,
the facade had a rather small hole, no larger than 20 feet
in diameter. Although this facade later collapsed, it
remained standing for 30 or 40 minutes, with the roof line
remaining relatively straight.
“The scene, in short, was not what I would have expected
from a strike by a large jetliner. It was, however, exactly
what one would expect if a missile had struck the Pentagon.
... More information is certainly needed regarding the
events of 9/11 and the events leading up to that terrible
day.”
The improbability of the collapse of World Trade Center
Building 7 is a major concern of these officers and a
growing number of scientists, engineers and architects. The
building was 610 feet tall, 47 stories, and would have been
the tallest building in 33 states. Although it was not hit
by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of
rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11. In the
6 years since 9/11, the Federal government has failed to
provide any explanation for the collapse. In addition to
the failure to provide an explanation, absolutely no mention
of Building 7’s collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's
“full and complete account of the circumstances
surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.”
[Video of the collapse can be seen at

] |
Lt. Col. Shelton Lankford |
Lt. Col.
Shelton Lankford, U.S. Marine Corps (ret), an
attack pilot with over 300 combat missions, wrote in 2007 to
the Michigan Daily,[9]
“Our government has been hijacked by means of a ‘new Pearl
Harbor’ and a lot of otherwise good and decent people who
are gullible enough to think that the first three
steel-framed buildings in history fall down because they
have some fires that the fire fighter on the scene said
could be knocked down with a couple of hoses and through
which people walked before they were photographed looking
out the holes
[10]
where the plane hit. One of these, Building 7, was never
hit by a plane and even NIST is ashamed to advance a reason
for its collapse. And, miracle of miracles, these three
buildings just happened to be leased and insured by the same
guy who is on tape
[11]
saying they decided to ‘PULL’ the last one to fall.”
|
During his 20 year military
career, Col. Lankford's decorations include the
Distinguished Flying Cross, and 32 awards of the Air Medal.
In a statement to this author, Col. Lankford wrote,
“September 11, 2001 seems destined to be the watershed event
of our lives and the greatest test for our democracy in our
lifetimes. The evidence of government complicity in the
lead-up to the events, the failure to respond during the
event, and the astounding lack of any meaningful
investigation afterwards, as well as the ignoring of
evidence turned up by others that renders the official
explanation impossible, may signal the end of the American
experiment. It has been used to justify all manners of
measures to legalize repression at home and as a pretext for
behaving as an aggressive empire abroad. Until we demand an
independent, honest, and thorough investigation and
accountability for those whose action and inaction led to
those events and the cover-up, our republic and our
Constitution remain in the gravest danger.” |
Lt. Col. Jeff Latas |
Another harsh
critic of the official account of 9/11 is Lt. Col.
Jeff Latas, U.S. Air Force (ret). A former combat
fighter pilot, Col. Latas is currently a commercial airline
pilot.
Col. Latas is a member of Pilots for 9/11 Truth. In 2007 he
was interviewed by the group’s founder, commercial airline
pilot, Rob Balsamo,[12]
regarding the group’s documentary video, Pandora's Black
Box, Chapter 2, Flight of American 77,
[13]
which focuses on the 9/11 Commission's account of the impact
of Flight 77 at the Pentagon and discrepancies with the data
from the Flight Data Recorder alleged by the NTSB to be from
Flight 77. |
In the interview, Col. Latas
said, “After I did my own analysis of it, it's
obvious that there's discrepancies between the two
stories; between the 9/11 Commission and the flight data
recorder information. And I think that's where we really
need to focus a lot of our attention to get the help that we
need in order to put pressure on government agencies to
actually do a real investigation of 9/11. And not just from
a security standpoint, but from even an aviation standpoint,
like any accident investigation would actually help the
aviators out by finding reasons for things happening.”
A highly decorated fighter pilot, Col. Latas was awarded the
Distinguish Flying Cross for Heroism, four Air Medals, four
Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial Achievement
Medals. His combat experience includes Desert Storm and
four tours of duty in Northern and Southern Watch. During
his 20-year Air Force career, he also served as Pentagon
Weapons Requirement Officer, as a member of the Pentagon's
Quadrennial Defense Review, and as President, U.S. Air Force
Accident Investigation Board.
Col. Latas concluded, “And I think that we Americans need to
demand further investigation just to clarify the
discrepancies that you've [Pilots for 9/11 Truth] found.
And I think that we need to be getting on the phone with our
Congressmen and women and letting them know that we don't
accept the excuses that we're hearing now, that we want true
investigators to do a true investigation.” |
Capt. Eric H. May
Commander Ted Muga |
Capt.
Eric H. May, U.S. Army (ret), is a former Army
Intelligence Officer who also served as an inspector and
interpreter for the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty
team. He is one of many signers of a petition
[14]
requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11. In 2005, he wrote:
“As a former Army officer, my tendency immediately after 911
was to rally 'round the colors and defend the country
against what I then thought was an insidious, malicious
all-Arab entity called Al-Qaida. In fact, in April of 2002,
I attempted to reactivate my then-retired commission to
return to serve my country in its time of peril. ...
Now I view the 911 event as Professor David Griffin, author
of The New Pearl Harbor, views it: as a matter that
implies either
A) passive participation by the Bush White
House through a deliberate stand-down of proper defense
procedures that (if followed) would have led US air assets
to a quick identification and confrontation of the passenger
aircraft that impacted WTC 1 and WTC 2, or worse ...
B) active execution of a plot by rogue elements of
government, starting with the White House itself, in
creating a spectacle of destruction that would lead the
United States into an invasion of the Middle East ...”
[15]
Commander Ted Muga, U.S. Navy (ret), is a
Navy aviator, who, after retirement, had a second career as
a commercial airline pilot for Pan-Am.
In a 2007 interview on the Alex Jones Show,
[16]
Commander Muga stated, “The maneuver at the Pentagon was
just a tight spiral coming down out of 7,000 feet. And a
commercial aircraft, while they can in fact structurally
somewhat handle that maneuver, they are very, very, very
difficult. And it would take considerable training. In
other words, commercial aircraft are designed for a
particular purpose and that is for comfort and for
passengers and it's not for military maneuvers. And while
they are structurally capable of doing them, it takes some
very, very talented pilots to do that. ... I just can't
imagine an amateur even being able to come close to
performing a maneuver of that nature. |
“And as far as hijacking the
airplanes, once again getting back to the nature of pilots
and airplanes, there is no way that a pilot would give up an
airplane to hijackers. ... I mean, hell, a guy doesn't give
up a TV remote control much less a complicated 757. And so
to think that pilots would allow a plane to be taken over by
a couple of 5 foot 7, 150 pound guys with a one-inch blade
boxcutter is ridiculous.
“And also in all four planes, if you remember, none of the
planes ever switched on their transponder to the hijack
code. There's a very, very simple code that you put in if
you suspect that your plane is being hijacked. It takes
literally just a split-second for you to put your hand down
on the center console and flip it over. And not one of the
four planes ever transponded a hijack code, which is most,
most unusual. ...
“Commercial airplanes are very, very complex pieces of
machines. And they're designed for two pilots up there, not
just two amateur pilots, but two qualified commercial pilots
up there. And to think that you're going to get an amateur
up into the cockpit and fly, much less navigate, it to a
designated target, the probability is so low, that it's
bordering on impossible.” |
Col. George Nelson |
“In all my years
of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor
even heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was
accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough
hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and
specific registration number of the aircraft -- and in most
cases the precise cause of the accident,” wrote Col.
George Nelson, MBA, U.S. Air Force (ret), a former
U.S. Air Force aircraft accident investigator and airplane
parts authority.
[17]
“The government alleges that four wide-body airliners
crashed on the morning of September 11 2001, resulting in
the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not one
piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an
attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On
the contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was
deliberately kept hidden from public view,” continued Col.
Nelson, a graduate of the U.S. Air Force War College and a
34-year Air Force veteran. |
“With all the evidence readily
available at the Pentagon crash site, any unbiased rational
investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757 did not
fly into the Pentagon as alleged. Similarly, with all the
evidence available at the Pennsylvania crash site, it was
most doubtful that a passenger airliner caused the obvious
hole in the ground and certainly not the Boeing 757 as
alleged. …
“As painful and heartbreaking as was the loss of innocent
lives and the lingering health problems of thousands more, a
most troublesome and nightmarish probability remains that so
many Americans appear to be involved in the most heinous
conspiracy in our country's history.” |
Maj. John M. Newman, PhD
Capt. Omar Pradhan
Col. Ronald D. Ray |
Maj. John
M. Newman, PhD, U.S. Army (ret), is the former
Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Security
Agency. In testimony before a 2005 Congressional briefing,
he said, “It falls to me this morning to bring to your
attention the story of Saeed Sheikh, whose full name is
Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and his astonishing rise to power
in Al Qaeda, his crucial role in 9/11, which is completely,
utterly, missing from the 9/11 Commission report…
“The 9/11 Commission which studied US intelligence and law
enforcement community performance in great detail, (maybe
not so much great detail, but they did), neglected to cover
the community’s performance during the weeks following the
attacks to determine who was responsible for them, not a
word about that in the Report.
“The Report does discuss the immediate US responses but the
immediate investigation is never addressed, and anyone who
has closely studied the post-9/11 investigation knows that
the first breakthrough came two weeks into the investigation
when the money transfers from the United Arab Emirates to
the hijackers were uncovered.
“Furthermore, if you have studied that investigation, you
know there is no disputing that while investigators may have
struggled with the identity of the paymaster, they were
clear about one thing, he was Al Qaeda’s finance chief. For
this reason alone you have to ask why the 9/11 Commission
Report never mentions the finance chief’s role as the 9/11
paymaster.”
[18]
Capt. Omar Pradhan, U.S. Air Force, is a
former AWACS command pilot and Flight Instructor at the U.S.
Air Force Academy. In a 2007 statement to this author,
Capt. Pradhan wrote, “As a proud American, as a
distinguished USAF E-3 AWACS Aircraft Commander (with 350+
hours of combat time logged over Afghanistan and Iraq), and
as a former U.S. Air Force Academy Flight Instructor, I
warmly endorse the professional inquiry and pursuit of
comprehensive truth sought by the Pilots for 911 Truth
organization and the PatriotsQuestion911 website.”
Another senior officer questioning the official account of
9/11 is Col. Ronald D. Ray, U.S. Marine Corps (ret),
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald
Reagan. A highly decorated Vietnam veteran (two Silver
Stars, a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart), he was appointed
by President George H. W. Bush to serve on the American
Battle Monuments Commission (1990 – 1994), and the 1992
Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the
Armed Forces. He was Military Historian and Deputy Director
of Field Operations for the U.S. Marine Corps Historical
Center, Washington, D.C. (1990 – 1994).
In an interview on Alex Jones’ radio show on June 30, 2006
[19],
Col. Ray described the official account of 9/11 as “the dog
that doesn’t hunt”, meaning it doesn’t stand up to
scrutiny. In response to Alex Jones’ question, “Is
it safe to say or is the statement accurate that you smell
something rotten in the state of Denmark when it comes to
9/11?” Col. Ray replied,“I'm astounded that the
conspiracy theory advanced by the administration could in
fact be true and the evidence does not seem to suggest that
that's accurate. That's true.” |
“After 4+ years of research since
retirement in 2002, 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. It is now time to take our
country back,” wrote Lt. Col. Guy S. Razer, MS, U.S.
Air Force (ret), in a statement to this author.
A retired fighter pilot, Col. Razer served as an instructor
at the U.S. Air Force Fighter Weapons School and NATO’s
Tactical Leadership Program and flew combat missions over
Iraq. He continued, “The ‘collapse’ of WTC Building 7 shows
beyond any doubt that the demolitions were pre-planned.
There is simply no way to demolish a 47-story building (on
fire) over a coffee break. It is also impossible to report
the building’s collapse before it happened, as BBC News did,[20]
unless it was pre-planned. Further damning evidence is
Larry Silverstein's video taped confession in which he
states ‘they made that decision to pull [WTC 7] and we
watched the building collapse.’[21]
“We cannot let the pursuit of justice fail. 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,” he concluded. |
Maj. Scott Ritter
Maj. Douglas Rokke, PhD
Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer |
Maj.
Scott Ritter, U.S. Marine Corps, is a former Marine
Corps Intelligence Officer who also served as Chief Weapons
Inspector for the United Nations Special Commission in Iraq
1991 - 1998. In 2005, he said: “I, like the others, are
frustrated by the 9/11 Commission Report, by the lack of
transparency on the part of the United States government,
both in terms of the executive branch and the legislative
branch when it comes to putting out on the table all facts
known to the 9/11 case.”
[22]
Maj. Douglas Rokke, PhD, U.S. Army (ret),
former Director of the U.S. Army Depleted Uranium Project
and 30-year veteran, had this to say about the explosion at
the Pentagon on 9/11, “When you look at the whole thing,
especially the crash site void of airplane parts, the size
of the hole left in the building and the fact the
projectile's impact penetrated numerous concrete walls, it
looks like the work of a missile. And when you look at the
damage, it was obviously a missile.”

The 9/11 Commission Report asserts that only three of the
alleged hijackers were known to U.S. intelligence agencies
prior to 9/11: Nawaf al-Hazmi, Salem al-Hazmi, and Khalid
al-Mihdar. There is no mention in the Report that the names
and photographs of alleged hijacker Marwan al-Shehhi and
alleged ring-leader Mohamed Atta had been identified by the
Department of Defense anti-terrorist program known as Able
Danger more than a year prior to 9/11 and that they were
known to be affiliates of al-Qaida. Able Danger also
identified Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdar.
In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee in
2006
[24],
Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, U.S. Army Reserve,
former Chief of the Army’s Controlled HUMINT (Human
Intelligence) Program, overseeing Army Intelligence and
Security Command’s global controlled HUMINT efforts, stated:
“[B]asic law enforcement investigative techniques, with 21st
Century data mining and analytical tools ... resulted in the
establishment of a new form of intelligence collection – and
the identification of Mohammed Atta and several other of the
9-11 terrorists as having links to Al Qaeda leadership a
full year in advance of the attacks. ...
“After contact by two separate members of the ABLE DANGER
team, … the 9-11 [Commission] staff refused to perform any
in-depth review or investigation of the issues that were
identified to them. … It was their job to do a thorough
investigation of these claims – to not simply dismiss them
based on what many now believe was a ‘preconceived’
conclusion to the 9-11 story they wished to tell. … I
consider this a failure of the 9-11 staff – a failure that
the 9-11 Commissioners themselves were victimized by – and
continue to have perpetrated on them by the staff as is
evidenced by their recent, groundless conclusion that ABLE
DANGER’s findings were ‘urban legend’.” |
A 23-year military intelligence
veteran, Col. Shaffer was recently awarded the Bronze Star
for bravery in Afghanistan. In a 2005 interview on Fox
News, Col Shaffer asked, “Why did this operation, which was
created in '99 to target Al Qaeda globally, offensively, why
was that turned off in the Spring of 2001, four months
before we were attacked? I can't answer that, either. I
can tell you I was ordered out of the operation directly by
a two-star general.”
[25]
Supporting Col. Shaffer’s statement, Capt. Scott J.
Phillpott, U.S. Navy, currently Commanding Officer
of the guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf and former
head of the Able Danger data mining program, stated in 2005:
“I will not discuss this outside of my chain of command. I
have briefed the Department of the Army, the Special
Operations Command and the office of (Undersecretary of
Defense for Intelligence) Dr. Cambone as well as the 9/11
Commission. My story has remained consistent. Atta was
identified by Able Danger in January/February 2000.”
[26]
Capt. Phillpott is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, who during
his 23 years of Navy service has been awarded the Legion of
Merit, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, three Meritorious
Service Medals, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, two
Navy Commendation Medals, and the Navy Achievement Medal.

Joel Skousen
Gen. Albert Stubblebine |
Former U.S.
Marine Corps fighter pilot Joel M. Skousen
also questions the official account of 9/11. After his
military service, Mr. Skousen served as Chairman of the
Conservative National Committee in Washington DC and
Executive Editor of Conservative Digest.
“In the March 2005 issue, PM [Popular Mechanics]
magazine singled out 16 issues or claims of the 9/11
skeptics that point to government collusion and
systematically attempted to debunk each one. Of the 16,
most missed the mark and almost half were straw men
arguments - either ridiculous arguments that few
conspiracists believed or restatements of the arguments that
were highly distorted so as to make them look weaker than
they really were. ...
“I am one of those who claim there are factual arguments
pointing to conspiracy, and that truth is not served by
taking cheap shots at those who see gaping flaws in the
government story ... There is significant evidence that the
aircraft impacts did not cause the collapse [of the Twin
Towers] ...
The issues of the penetration hole [at the Pentagon] and the
lack of large pieces of debris simply do not jive with the
official story, but they are explainable if you include the
parking lot video evidence that shows a huge white explosion
at impact. This cannot happen with an aircraft laden only
with fuel. It can only happen in the presence of high
explosives.”
[27]
Major General Albert Stubblebine, U.S. Army (ret),
former Commanding General of U.S. Army Intelligence and
Security Command (INSCOM), is a strong critic of the
official account of 9/11. In a 2006 video documentary he
said, “One of my experiences in the Army was being in charge
of the Army’s Imagery Interpretation for Scientific and
Technical Intelligence during the Cold War. I measured
pieces of Soviet equipment from photographs. It was my job.
I look at the hole in the Pentagon and I look at the size
of an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon.
And I said, ‘The plane does not fit in that hole’. So what
did hit the Pentagon? What hit it? Where is it? What's
going on?”
[28]
During his 32-year Army career, Gen. Stubblebine also
commanded the U.S. Army’s Electronic Research and
Development Command and the U.S. Army’s Intelligence School
and Center. Gen. Stubblebine is one of the inductees into
the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame.
[29]
|
“There is a well-organized
cover-up of the events of 11 Sep 2001. The 9/11 Commission
was a white-washed farce. There is evidence that US
Government officials had advance knowledge of and are
probably implicated in the events of 9/11,” wrote retired
military physician, Col. James R. Uhl, MD, U.S. Army
(ret), in a statement to this author.
“A huge body of physical evidence has been ignored,
suppressed, and ridiculed by the media and by our
Government. Why did WTC 7 collapse? It was never hit by an
airplane and was apparently brought down by explosives. How
could Al-Qaida terrorists have had access and time to plant
bombs in a top secret installation? Why did the 9/11
Commission fail to seek the reason for the WTC 7 collapse?”
continued Col. Uhl, a 38-year Army veteran, who served in
several theaters of operations, from Viet Nam through Iraq. |
Capt. Russ Wittenberg |
Capt.
Russ Wittenberg, U.S. Air Force, is a former U.S.
Air Force fighter pilot with over 100 combat missions and a
retired commercial pilot, who flew for Pan Am and United
Airlines for 35 years.
According to Capt. Wittenberg, “The government story they
handed us about 9/11 is total B.S., plain and simple.”[30]
In the 2007 documentary video, 9/11 Ripple Effect,[31]
he said “I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved
in 9/11; the Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that
allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the
aircraft that's alleged to have hit the South Tower.
|
“I don't believe it's possible for,
like I said, for a terrorist, a so-called terrorist, to
train on a [Cessna] 172, then jump in a cockpit of a 757-767
class cockpit, and vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral
navigate the aircraft, and fly the airplane at speeds
exceeding its design limit speed by well over 100 knots,
make high-speed high-banked turns, exceeding -- pulling
probably 5, 6, 7 G's. And the aircraft would literally fall
out of the sky. I couldn't do it and I'm absolutely
positive they couldn't do it.” [32]
Regarding Flight 77, which allegedly hit the Pentagon, Capt.
Wittenberg said, ”The airplane could not have flown at those
speeds which they said it did without going into what they
call a high speed stall. The airplane won’t go that fast if
you start pulling those high G maneuvers at those bank
angles. … To expect this alleged airplane to run these
maneuvers with a total amateur at the controls is simply
ludicrous ... It’s roughly a 100 ton airplane. And an
airplane that weighs 100 tons all assembled is still going
to have 100 tons of disassembled trash and parts after it
hits a building. There was no wreckage from a 757 at the
Pentagon. … The vehicle that hit the Pentagon was not Flight
77. We think, as you may have heard before, it was a cruise
missile.”[33] |
Col. Ann Wright
Capt. Gregory Zeigler |
Another senior
officer questioning the official account of 9/11 is
Col. Ann Wright, U.S. Army (ret), who said in a
2007 interview with Richard Greene on the Air America Radio
Network, “It's incredible some of these things that still
are unanswered. The 9/11 Report -- that was totally
inadequate. I mean the questions that anybody has after
reading that.” [34]
Col. Wright is one of three U.S. State Department officials
to publicly resign in direct protest of the invasion of Iraq
in March, 2003. She served for 13 years on active duty and
16 additional years on reserve duty in the U.S. Army. She
joined the Foreign Service in 1987 and served for 16 years
as a U.S. Diplomat. She served as Deputy Chief of Mission
of U.S. Embassies in Sierra Leone, Micronesia and
Afghanistan and she helped reopen the U.S. Embassy in Kabul
in December, 2001.
She continued in her interview: “How could our national
intelligence and defense operations be so inept that they
could not communicate; that they could not scramble jets;
that they could not take defensive action? And I totally
agree. I always thought the Pentagon had all sorts of air
defense sort of equipment around it; that they could take
out anything that was coming at it. And for a plane to be
able to just fly low right over Washington and slam into
that thing is just -- I mean, you still just shake your
head. How in the world could that happen?”
Capt. Gregory M. Zeigler, PhD, is a former
U.S. Army Intelligence Officer. In a 2006 statement to this
author, Capt. Zeigler wrote, “I knew from September 18,
2001, that the official story about 9/11 was false. That
was when I realized that the perpetrators had made a
colossal blunder in collapsing the South Tower first, rather
than the North Tower, which had been hit more directly and
earlier.
“Other anomalies poured in rapidly: the hijackers' names
appearing in none of the published flight passenger lists,
BBC reports of stolen identities of the alleged hijackers or
the alleged hijackers being found alive, the obvious
demolitions of WTC 1 and 2 and WTC 7, the lack of
identifiable Boeing 757 wreckage at the Pentagon, the
impossibility of ordinary cell phone (as opposed to Airfone)
calls being made consistently from passenger aircraft at
cruising altitude, etc., etc., etc.” |
Shortly after the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, a
group of over 100 prominent Americans signed a petition [35]
urging Congress to immediately reinvestigate 9/11. In
addition to two former senior CIA officials [36]
and several U.S. State Department veterans,
[37]
the signers included Lt. Col. Robert Bowman and Capt. Eric
H. May, both mentioned above.
The petition stated, in part, “We want truthful answers to
questions such as:
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?”
These questions and many others still remain unanswered
three years after the petition was submitted and six years
after the terrible events of 9/11. As the statements of
these twenty-five former U.S. military officers demonstrate,
the need for a new thorough, and independent investigation
of 9/11 is not a matter of partisan politics, nor the demand
of irresponsible, deranged, or disloyal Americans. It is
instead a matter of the utmost importance for America’s
security and the future of the entire world.
