A society of experts and scholars has now joined with Judicial Watch
in calling for release of videos that are being held by the Department of Defense,
which are essential to understanding events at the Pentagon that transpired
on September 9, 2001. Scholars for 9/11 Truth, which is dedicated to exposing
falsehoods and establishing truths about the events of 9/11, has gone beyond
Judicial Watch by calling for the release of other films and evidence that,
its officers maintain, are essential to understanding 9/11. Scholars for 9/11 Truth supports Judicial Watch A society of experts and scholars has now joined with Judicial Watch in calling
for release of videos that are being held by the Department of Defense, which
are essential to understanding events at the Pentagon that transpired on September
9, 2001. Scholars for 9/11 Truth, which is dedicated to exposing falsehoods
and establishing truths about the events of 9/11, has gone beyond Judicial Watch
by calling for the release of other films and evidence that, its officers maintain,
are essential to understanding 9/11. "It is outrageous that the government is withholding this vital information",
said James H. Fetzer, founder and co-chair of the society. "This concerns
one of the monstrous events of our time and deserves to be in the public domain."
The group, whose members include such prominent figures as David Ray Griffin,
Morgan Reynolds, John McMurtry, Wayne Madsen, Robert Bowman, Webster Tarpley,
and Andreas von Buelow, has been speaking out against what its own research
suggests has been complicity by elements of the administration in the crime.
They are calling for immediate release of the full Pentagon surveillance tape
as well as video tapes seized by FBI agents minutes after the Pentagon hit;
a complete inventory of the plane wreckage and debris from Flights 11, 77, 93,
175 or any other aircraft that crashed or was destroyed on 11 September 2001,
including, but not limited to their location ( whether warehoused or otherwise
), catalog of photographs and videotapes taken of any items from the planes,
and results of all tests and examinations conducted concerning any of these
items. Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit demanding that DoD release its film footage.
In addition, the scholars call for the release of a complete inventory of any
steel, other metal, or other materials from the World Trade Center, including,
but not limited to the location ( whether warehouses or otherwise ) of all such
items, catalog of photographs and videotapes of any items from the scene, and
results of all tests and examinations conducted concerning any of those items. Judy Wood, a professor of mechanical engineering at Clemson University and
a full member of the society of scholars, has emphasized the importance of this
material for those studying the collapse of the Twin Towers and World Trade
Center 7. "This material has the potential to resolve crucial questions
about the forces that were responsible for the buildings' fall, including the
possible use of incendiaries and explosives", she observed. "It is
of great importance that we have access to it." They also call for release of 6,899 photographs and 6,977 segments of video
footage held by NIST; tape recordings of interviews by air traffic controllers,
at least some of which were deliberately destroyed while in the possession of
representatives of the government; a complete accounting of "terror drills"
that were being conducted that morning, which may have been used to mask the
attack; the cockpit voice recorders and other "black boxes", three
of four of which are reported to have survived the Twin Towers' collapse; and
other related evidence. According to Professor Fetzer, the SEC possesses knowledge of "put options"
on American and United Airlines, which are suggestive of advanced knowledge
that the attacks would take place; Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta
gave very important testimony to The 9/11 Commission, which it chose not to
include in its report; and the Secret Service conducted itself in a manner suggesting
that it knew there was no serious threat to the President, even following the
attacks in New York, while the Commander-in-Chief ignored the unfolding drama. "We are inclined to believe that these events were orchestrated by the
Bush administration in order to instill fear in the American people," Fetzer
said. "The use of violence and threats of violence to manipulate a populace
based on fear," he observed, "is the definition of terrorism. The
release of this vital evidence will help to confirm or to dispel our concerns
about what happened on 9/11." Added Wood, "The American people are
entitled to know the truth about their own history. If the government has nothing
to hide, it should have no objections to releasing all this evidence for experts
and scholars to study." Scholars for 9/11 Truth maintains its own public web site at www.st911.org.
