- Extract: ...it would be a remarkable irony,
and quite possibly a unique circumstance in the annals of American jurisprudence,
if the assumptions used as reasons for launching wars against two sovereign
nations, as well as the more generalised 'War on Terror' would not stand
up as evidence in either a criminal prosecution or a civil damages suit
in an American court of law.
-
- It is not a theory but a fact-one that is well known
within the 9/11 truth movement-that the 9/11 Commission failed to ensure
that at least one of the appropriate government agencies: the NTSB, the
FBI or the FAA was commissioned to positively identify the aircraft which
were allegedly involved in the murders of nearly 3,000 people, on September
11, 2001.
-
- One does not need to be a Harvard Law School graduate
to know that the first and most important requirement in any murder investigation
is to determine the cause of death, which often leads to a requirement
to identify, and trace to its origins, a murder weapon, or, in the case
of 9/11: weapons. And there can be no doubt that each of the
four planes which were allegedly hijacked on the morning 9/11 was posited
as being a murder weapon, by the U.S. administration and the 9/11 Commission,
yet there is absolutely nothing which firmly connects the four allegedly-hijacked
planes to any of the 9/11 crash sites.
-
- In fact it is not fanciful to suggest that if a lawyer,
even of a far lower calibre than that of an Alan Dershowitz, were engaged
to defend the airport security companies that allegedly allowed 19 box-cutter-carrying
Arabs to get onto those planes, he would immediately call for the dismissal
of such an action on the grounds that the planes which allegedly hit the
Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the one which
crashed near Shanksville had never been forensically identified as the
planes which, allegedly, had been hijacked that morning.
-
- And such a motion could not possibly be denied, as I
will explain.
-
- The planes in question were alleged to have been: American
Airlines flight 11 (Tail Number: N334AA), North Tower; United
Airlines flight 175 (N612UA), South Tower; American Airlines
flight 77 (N644AA), the Pentagon, and United Airlines flight 93 (N591UA),
which supposedly crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. But
the truth is that they could well have been different planes that had arrived
on the scenes from quite different locations, because the crash debris
recovered from those four crash sites has never been forensically linked
to the planes that allegedly took off from Logan International, Boston;
Dulles International, Washington and Newark International, New Jersey,
and which were, allegedly, hijacked shortly thereafter. Therefore
they cannot possibly be linked, without a reasonable doubt, to breaches
of security at those airports.
-
- So, it would be a remarkable irony, and quite possibly
a unique circumstance in the annals of American jurisprudence, if the assumptions
used as reasons for launching wars against two sovereign nations, as well
as the more generalised 'War on Terror' would not stand up as evidence
in either a criminal prosecution or a civil damages suit in an American
court of law.
-
- Air-crash investigations in the United States are normally
carried out by the NTSB's air accident investigation division, and there
are several documentary television series featuring this government agency's
painstaking approach when investigating the causes of air crashes. During
many such investigations, serial numbers from recovered parts are cross
checked with the airline-in-question's purchase and maintenance records,
to try and identify the reason for an accident, when it is suspected that
mechanical failure may have been the cause.
-
- However the NTSB has confirmed that-apparently for the
first time from its inception, in 1967, since when it has investigated
more than 124,000 other aviation accidents-it took no part in investigating any of
the air crashes which occurred on September 11, 2001. So the
world has been asked to take it on faith and hearsay that the four planes
involved were normal scheduled flights which were hijacked by Arab terrorists,
some of whom, are, allegedly, still alive.
-
- Even more disturbing is the fact that documentation exists,
and is available on the Internet, which indicates that the FBI, backed
up by a separate letter from the Justice Department has refused to release
any information, under the Freedom of Information Act, about any debris
recovered from the crash sites, including the serial number of the "Black
Box" Cockpit Flight Data Recorder allegedly found near the alleged
crash site of United Airlines Flight 93. It may be recalled
that a transcript taken from this recorder formed the basis for several
TV dramas and one Academy-Award winning feature film.
-
- By no means finally, but just as disturbing, the core
of a jet engine, which can been seen in several 9/11 videos falling out
of the northern face of the WTC's South Tower, and which hit a building
on its way down, and was photographed and videoed-in the presence of FBI
personnel and at least one FBI vehicle-where it came to rest at the junction
of Church and Murray streets, was later photographed, prior to its burial
in a land fill on Staten Island. So much for what murder investigators
are usually so concerned about: The chain of custody and preservation
of important evidence, pending its identification.
-
- The events of 9/11 had consequences far beyond the destruction
of life and property in the United States; they were the reasons for the
launching of three wars. Yet it is obvious that a leader writer
of an influential newspaper, the Washington Post, could not spare
the time to look into such a serious matter-one that people with far fewer
resources than he or she has access to have managed to do-before launching
a scathing attack on a member of the Japanese parliament and the world-wide
9/11 truth movement, in general.
-
- Just because the 9/11 Commission did not do its job properly
is no excuse for newspaper writers not to do theirs. Unless,
of course, newspapers such as the New York Times, theWall Street Journal,
the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times are playing
a conscious role in a conspiracy to prevent the truth about these events
from surfacing. In which case their editors and owners would
almost certainly be guilty of misprision of felony.
-
- I would like to stress that the identity of the planes
is not the only reason why the 9/11 Commission's findings should be regarded
as invalid, and its members found guilty, at the very least, of gross oversights
in the collection of the evidence which was used in the writing of its
Final Report. Even a cursory look at the visual evidence of
the collapsing World Trade Center's Twin Towers and WTC 7 should have instilled
grave doubts about the findings of some of the experts from the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST.
-
- But, for my money, the real smoking guns were, and still
are, the four aircraft that were used as weapons on that terrible day,
and for them not to have been identified breaks every rule in any book
which seeks to teach the art of solving crimes.
