Senior Military, Intelligence, Law Enforcement,
and Government Officials Question
the 9/11 Commission Report
http://www.patriotsquestion911.com/
Many well known and respected senior U.S. military officers,
intelligence services and law enforcement veterans, and
government officials have expressed significant criticism of
the 9/11 Commission Report or have made public statements
that contradict the Report. Several even allege government
complicity in the terrible acts of 9/11. This website is a
collection of their public statements. It should be made
clear that none of these individuals are affiliated with
this website.
Listed below are statements by more than 80 of these senior
officials. Their collective voices give credibility to the
claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed.
These individuals cannot be simply dismissed as
irresponsible believers in some 9/11 conspiracy theory.
Their sincere concern, backed by their decades of service to
their country, demonstrate that criticism of the Report is
not irresponsible, illogical, nor disloyal, per se. In fact,
it can be just the opposite. (continued below)

My FINAL response to this chap... I’m afraid I’ve exhausted
all patience. Perhaps one of you would like to take it from
here. The only reason I hung in this long is because
Antiwar.com has a HUGE liberal following...

Eric,
I suggest you begin by perusing
http://www.patriotsquestion911.com
What you first need to clearly understand is that the
“official conspiracy theory” is utterly laughable.
If you actually believe that:
19 Arab amateurs (7 of whom are alive — mistaken IDs, you
know)...
Led by a man in a cave in Afghanistan...
None of who could solo a Cessna 172...
Hijacked four 200,000-lb jetliners...
Flew around America for almost 2 hours...
Outwitted the most sophisticated multi-trillion-dollar air
defense system in the world...
then expertly flew these aircraft into towers that were
designed to take multiple hits from similar-sized
jetliners...
Then caused two of these towers to defy the laws of
physics...
If you actually believe this nonsense, I’m afraid you’re
beyond hope.
Eric, you don’t need “experts” to figure out the simple
physics involved; all you need is a STOPWATCH.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for the towers to have collapsed at
freefall speeds unless the supporting structure beneath them
was blown out of the way with explosives.
This is exactly what happens in a controlled demolition.
My 15-year-old son figured this out without any help — when
he was thirteen.
I give up.

I would like to see experts address each claim. Most of what
I see from the "Truth" and "Scholars" group are
matter-of-fact statements without providing corroboration. I
don't want to hear a professor of myth (religion) explain
things to me, I want real experts, and not taken out of
context. Most of his claims don't make sense to me.
Disproving one position doesn't prove a random alternative
position. Neither make sense to me. Are there ANY members of
this group who are actual building design or demolition
experts? Are there any physicists other than that dental
technician and the kooky Stephen Jones (who believes in all
sorts of crazy stuff about a Mayan Jesus) in these groups?
The more I read from them the more I am convinced they are
being fed a load of government disinfo.

Eric,
Re the individuals who’ve endorsed Prof. Griffin’s work: For
whatever it’s worth, through my yearsof involvement in the
Scholars group, I’m personally acquainted with many of them
and hundreds of others of high caliber. I suggest you
visit this site and read what 110 other professors have to
say about 9/11 having been an inside job:
http://patriotsquestion911.com/professors.html
While there, you might also check out the plethora of other
highly reputable individuals who agree (
http://www.patriotsquestion911.com ...I guarantee you
it’ll blow your mind.
debunking911.com, I have indeed visited and perused that
site. They cannot, and will not, respond to the fundamental
questions we pose. They skirt around them.
But then, I’m not surprised neither could, or would, NIST,
the vaunted National Institute of Standards and Technology,
who will not address a single one of these points. So I
can’t see how debunking911.com can explain away these
arguments, when NIST themselves, through their own
admission, cannot!
NIST’s “report” to this day, states in regard to Building 7,
“the reason for the collapse remains unknown”.
But then, it’s hardly surprising to refute the points we
raise, one would have to re-write the laws of physics.
Incidentally, you’re not alone in trying to give this matter
serious thought I, too, felt exactly the same way when I
was dragged kicking and screaming to the trough by a pilot
colleague 4 years ago.
After 4 years of full-time research I actually began
hoping to refute this as ‘nonsense’ -- there is absolutely
no doubt in my mind: 9/11 was an inside job.
To arrive at any other conclusion, I’d necessarily need to
turn my back not only on modern scientific thinking, but on
logic and common sense as well.
For instance, the molten metal this is impossible for
kerosene to achieve. If it could, your camping stove would
never make it back home in one piece it’d come back a
grotesquely twisted metal ingot.
How do we know there was molten metal in the basements of
the three towers? Please see below.
Then of course, the chaps at debunking911.com would likely
dismiss these and hundreds of other witnesses as suffering
from mass hallucinations.
Kind regards,
Nila
How do we know there was molten metal down in the basements
of the Twin Towers and Building 7?
NB: Jet fuel is nothing more than refined kerosene the
stuff you use in your camping stove without fear of it ever
melting the grille. In the case of the Twin Towers, a
relatively paltry 10,000 gallons of it is said to have
MELTED HUNDREDS OF TONS OF HIGH-GRADE CONSTRUCTION STEEL.
While “10,000 gallons” might appear to be a huge amount, in
reality it is a relatively miniscule volume: approximately
11’x11’x11’ -- about the size of just one of the thousands
of small offices in the Towers relatively speaking, a
pinprick on the huge structures.
But even that’s quite beside the point. You see, kerosene
simply does not possess the thermodynamic potential to melt
steel. Period. No, not even a million gallons of it can.

"...A combination of an uncontrolled fire and the structural
damage might have been able to bring the building down, but
that would not explain steel members in the debris pile that

NB: Evaporation means conversion from a liquid to a gas; so
the steel beams in building 7 were subjected to temperatures
high enough to melt and evaporate them.

even though it rained heavily on September 14, 2001 and
again on September 21, 2001, and the fires were sprayed with
high tech fire-retardants, and firetrucks sprayed a nearly
constant jet of water on ground zero...You couldn't even

“...New York firefighters recall ‘heat so intense they
encountered rivers of molten steel’....
New York Post, 3/3/2004
And in the event all of the individuals quoted above were
victims of a mass hallucination, a reassuring piece of NASA
infrared imagery that reflects the molten byproducts of this
mysterious new “Super Kerosene”...
The following are NASA Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging
Spectrometer (AVIRIS) images taken to locate and measure the
WTC site’s hot spots...
AND NOW HERE’S THE CLINCHER:
Dr. Frank Gayle, who led the steel forensics aspects of
NIST’s investigation of the WTC collapses, said:
"Your gut reaction would be the jet fuel is what made the
fire so very intense, a lot of people figured that’s what
melted the steel. Indeed it didn’t, the steel did not melt."
--ABC News 7 (New York), 2/7/2004
So, if the jet fuel was not the cause of all the molten
metal, WHAT CAUSED IT?
Hint: A byproduct of the explosive Thermite is MOLTEN IRON.
“...this molten metal is a direct evidence for the use of
high-temperature explosives, such as thermite, used to
deliberately bring down the WTC towers...”
-- Steven E. Jones, Professor of Physics, Brigham Young
University, as reported in the Utah Deseret Morning News
