They are politically diverse and include academics, ex-officials and Web surfers. All share a belief that the Bush administration played a role in the 9/11 attacks. Their numbers seem to speak to Americans' innate distrust of their government. The Washington Post NEW YORK — He felt no shiver of doubt in those first terrible hours. He watched the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and assumed al-Qaida had wreaked terrible vengeance. He listened to anchors and military experts and assumed the facts of Sept. 11, 2001, were as stated on the screen. It was a year before David Ray Griffin, an eminent liberal theologian and philosopher, began his stroll down the path of disbelief. He wondered why Bush listened to a child's story while the nation was attacked and how Osama bin Laden, America's Public Enemy No. 1, escaped in the mountains of Tora Bora. He wondered why 110-story towers crashed and military jets failed to intercept even one airliner. He read the 9/11 Commission report with a swell of anger. Contradictions were ignored and no military or civilian official was reprimanded, much less cashiered. "To me, the report read as a cartoon," Griffin said. "It's a much greater stretch to accept the official conspiracy story than to consider the alternatives." Such as? "There was massive complicity in this attack by U.S. government operatives." If that feels like a skip off the cliff of established reality, more Americans are in free fall than you might guess. There are few more startling measures of American distrust of leaders than the extent of belief that the Bush administration had a hand in the attacks of Sept. 11 to spark an invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. 36 percent suspicious A recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll of 1,010 Americans found that 36 percent suspect the U.S. government promoted the attacks or intentionally sat on its hands. Sixteen percent believe explosives brought down the towers. Twelve percent believe a cruise missile hit the Pentagon. Distrust percolates more strongly near Ground Zero. A Zogby International poll of New York City residents two years ago found 49.3 percent believed the government "consciously failed to act." Establishment assessments of the believers tend toward the psychotherapeutic. Many academics, politicians and thinkers left, right and center say the conspiracy theories are a case of one plus one equals five. It's a piling up of improbabilities. Thomas Eager, a professor of materials science at MIT, has studied the collapse of the twin towers. "At first, I thought it was amazing that the buildings would come down in their own footprints," Eager says. "Then I realized that it wasn't that amazing — it's the only way a building that weighs a million tons and is 95 percent air can come down." But the chatter out there is loud enough for the National Institute of Standards and Technology to post a Web "fact sheet" poking holes in the conspiracy theories and defending its report on the towers. Motley crew The loose agglomeration known as the "9/11 Truth Movement" has stopped looking for truth from the government. A cacophonous and free-range a bunch of conspiracists, they produce hip-hop inflected documentaries and scholarly conferences. The Web is their mother lode. Every citizen is a researcher. Did you see that the CIA met with bin Laden in a hospital room in Dubai? Check out this Pakistani site; there are really weird doings in Baluchistan ... Peter Knight, senior lecturer in American studies at the University of Manchester and editor of the 2002 book "Conspiracy Nation: The Politics of Paranoia in Postwar America," called the movement "a strange beast, an amalgam of elements. You've got the anti-Bush, anti-Iraq war crowd — you know, if they lied about the war, maybe they lied about 9/11. Another part is people merely interested in the anomalies, with no preconceived political agenda. "Then you have the more traditional right-wing conspiracy part of the continuum that believes a vast cabal has taken over the United States, the mega-conspiracy of the right's new world order. To them, all of these things are connected. Each group inserts 9/11 into its pre-existing conspiracy model." The academic wing is led by Griffin, who founded the Center for a Postmodern World at Claremont University; James Fetzer, a tenured philosopher at the University of Minnesota; and Daniel Orr, retired chairman of the economics department at the University of Illinois. Professor suspended The movement's de facto minister of engineering is Steven Jones, a tenured physics professor at Brigham Young University who has studied vectors and velocities and tested explosives and concluded that the collapse of the twin towers is best explained as controlled demolition, sped by a thousand pounds of high-grade thermite. Jones has been placed on paid leave while the Mormon-church-owned school investigates his claims, it was announced Friday. The physicist published his views two weeks ago in the book "9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out." Former Reagan aide Barbara Honegger is a senior military-affairs journalist at the Naval Postgraduate School in California. She's convinced, based on her freelance research, that a bomb went off about six minutes before an airplane hit the Pentagon — or didn't hit it, as some believe the case may be. Then there's Morgan O. Reynolds, appointed by George W. Bush as chief economist at the Labor Department. He left in 2002 and doesn't think much of his former boss. "Who did it? Elements of our government and M-16 and the Mossad. The government's case is a laugh-out-loud proposition. They used patsies and lies and subterfuge and there's no way that Bush and Cheney could have invaded Iraq without the help of 9/11," Reynolds asserts. They are cantankerous and sometimes distrust each other — who knows where the double agents lurk? But unreasonable questions resonate with the reasonable. Colleen Kelly's brother, a salesman, had breakfast at the Windows on the World restaurant on Sept. 11. After he died she founded September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows to oppose the Iraq war. She lives in the Bronx and gives a gingerly embrace to the conspiracy crowd. "Sometimes I listen to them and I think that's sooooo outlandish and bizarre," she says. "But that day had such disastrous geopolitical consequences. If David Ray Griffin asks uncomfortable questions and points out painful discrepancies, good for him." Griffin's book, "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11," sold more than 100,000 copies and became a movement founding stone. Last year he traveled through New England, giving speeches. One evening in West Hartford, Conn., 400 mostly middle-aged and upper-middle-class doctors and lawyers, teachers and social workers sat waiting. Griffin took the podium and laid down his ideas with calm and cool. He concluded: "It is already possible to know beyond a reasonable doubt one very important thing: The destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by domestic terrorists. The welfare of our republic and perhaps even the survival of our civilization depend on getting the truth about 9/11 exposed." The audience rose and applauded for more than a minute. No patience Chip Berlet, senior analyst at Political Research Associates, a Boston-based left-leaning think tank, is no fan of the 9/11 Commission. He believes a serious investigation should have led to indictments and the firing of incompetent generals and civilian officials. But he has no patience with the conspiracy theorists. "They don't do their homework; it's a kind of charlatanism," says Berlet. "They say there's no debris on the lawn in front of the Pentagon, but they base their analysis on a photo on the Internet. That's like analyzing an impressionist painting by looking at a postcard. "I love 'The X-Files' but I don't base my research on it. My vision of hell is having to review these [conspiracy] books over and over again." In the days after Sept. 11, experts claimed temperatures reached 2,000 degrees on the upper floors. Others claimed steel melted. Nope. What happened, says Eager, the MIT materials-science professor, is that jet fuel sloshed around and beams got rubbery. "It's not too much to think that you could have some regions at 900 degrees and others at 1,200 degrees, and that will distort the beams." The truth movement doesn't really care for Eager. A Web site casts a fisheye of suspicion at the professor and his colleagues. "Did the MIT have prior knowledge?" notes one chat room. "This is for sure another speculative topic ... " Professsor Jones' suspension was reported Friday by The Associated Press. Peter Knight was quoted by McClatchy Newspapers.

There is no hole, and no jet fuel fire. The wings would have been ripped to shreds upon hitting a solid brick wall reinforced with steel and kevlar, and the fuel would have splattered all over the Pentagon wall. Yet that didn't happen. In fact, if you closely, the windows in the section of building where the wing is alleged to have impacted aren't even broken. Man, this claim goes back to "Hanjour couldn't have performed those antics because he wasn't a licensed pilot" ... and if it wasn't those exact words it was "prove his credentials" ... "strawman argument" ...and so forth. Yet, no one has said he was a good pilot.... some of these folks twist their own words as to make the opposing argument look like nothing compared to the off-the-walls, the lies and the innuendo. Man... how do you keep up with their continuous "fork tongues?"
"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
That is such a ridiculous statement, only a REALLY ignorant person would state it, or a blatent liar. He was LINED UP to dive into the Pentagon where he was heading straight towards the high value section of the building, but TURNED the plane around while descending, and flew at treetop level for a mile in order to ultimately hit the least occupied section. If it were Hanjour flying the plane, he COULD have just crashed it like you claim he COULD have done, simply by decreasing speed and diving towards the Pentagon roof, which is about the area of 22 football fields, rather than performing a precision manuever to line up with a 71 foot tall target at 530 mph.
Be able to speak and understand English, which he could barely do. He did poorly in flight school because he couldn't understand the instructors, and was even offered to use a translator, even though that's against FAA rules. From the reports of most of his instructors, his flying was worse than his English, and he was basically totally incompetent behind the controls of a Cessna, never mind a jumbo jet. And as OI stated, he NEVER flew a jet before that day. What it comes down to is that it was obviously NOT Hanjour flying that plane.
So all of the senior air traffic controllers who were there at Dulles International Airport "weren't thinking critically", you are smarter and know more than them, even though they were there in the control tower, but you weren't.
It looks to me like the 2nd page of those documents you posted shows that the Commercial Certification/Rating (Piper aircraft used) expired on Leap Year day 2/29/00, a little over a year and a half before 9/11.

Nobody ever said that Hanjour didn't have or possess an active pilot's license. What seems amiss id that FormerLurker said Hanjour didn't possess one. Now, what this all means is FormerLurker doesn't know much about flight training and Hanjour OBVIOUSLY went through flight training to receive certification EVEN IF IT WAS INSTRUMENTATION. SO, I don't understand why you are posting all kinds of links and threads towards his certification when ONLY FL and his pal, O_I said he wasn't qualified to begin with. The point is moot. Hanjour went through flight training. FL and O_I both lied or are ignorant becasue of their conspiracy threads.

And not everything did go right. William Rodriguez got out alive and was able to testify that bombs went off before the first plane impact. Barry Jennings got out alive and was able to testify to bombs going off long before WTC 7 collapsed. The top of the South Tower (which was hit after the North Tower) began to topple and so the South Tower had to be brought down prematurely, before the North Tower which took a more direct hit on the central core, at the 56 minute point. That is a glaring outpoint. The South Tower was hit second, took less damage, and yet collapsed first. The "Dancing Israelis" were arrested set up and filming an event "that nobody knew was coming". The warning to employees at Odigo two hours before the first plane hit. The dog that did not bark - none of the pilots on any of the 4 Jets gave a hijack alert - something which takes about 2 or 3 seconds and which they are drilled in. No pilot gave a voice warning that they were being hijacked. The impossible cell phone calls - which Ted Olson blew by contradicting himself. Considering the scale of the op there were few outright mistakes from the point of view of the planners and operators of the event, but no operation of this scale goes down without there being telltale signs and they are/were there. It is just that you have to dig for most of them.

ps: I'm in no mood to go looking up specific posts, but there is NO WAY a 757's wings are just going to fold under like those of a cormorant hungry for herring. Thanks for pointing that out.

"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
Buckie you are getting desperate. All of your little fantasies and talking points have been demolished and so now you have to lie by accusing others of lying since you have no data, no facts, no case, and nothing upon which to stand. At no time has either FL or myself said that Hanjour/Hanjoor had not had training. It is simply that he was a poor student, barely spoke English, and by the testimony of all of his instructors was anywhere from really crappy to outright incompetent as a pilot. And AT NO TIME prior to 911 had he EVER been in the cockpit of a Jet Aircraft, had never flown a Jet Aircraft, and in fact had never flown anything larger than a twin engine, 4 seat, propellor driven, Piper Apache. So, in your desperation to assert that this incompetent pilot could fly a Jumbo Jet the way The Red Baron flew his Fokker Tri-Plane you have to begin inventing things because you have NO CASE. Hani Hanjour/Hanjoor may have been many things but a competent pilot, of any size aircraft let alone a Jumbo Jet - something which he had never flown - even in simulation as he trained on a 737 simulator (a much smaller plane - not that he had ever actually flown ANY Jet, at ANY time) he was not. By the testimony both sworn and unsworn without exception EVERY one of his instructors characterized him as unsafe in any aircraft, at any time, or any place. CASE CLOSED. Now, if you were a man you would apologize for accusing people falsely of lying. However, I suspect little boy that you will not. Thus you will have branded yourself a liar, and a most reprehensible one at that.

Who said you or FL did, Mr, strawman? Both of you repeatedly said he had no certification. Either confess your spin or get stay on the roller-coaster. I am tired of YOUR nonsense.... ducking and lying about what you and FL said.

I think at this point that would have to one of the most apparent datums to be inferred from the "discussion" on this thread. Now, we do not know who was behind the stick, or whether it was done by remote control, but I think the data more than supports that Hanjour/Hanjoor was nowhere near competent to perform the feats of aerobatics with a Jumbo Jet that Flight 77 went through. Of course the shills will still contest that because they cannot EVER admit that the "Official Fairy Tale™" is wrong in any respect or any detail no matter how small or large, and this is a large one.

Are you kidding, that's Cessna 101 - take an airliner out for a spin over Ohio and fly it straight back into Pentagon airspace by dead reckoning. Never mind that it sounds too far out for even a Hollywood hack to find believable, I think Buckeroo is ordering you to believe it.

I think we both contested the point, and also admitted that we were incorrect on that point. Hell, even one of his instructors contested that and called the FAA to check. Being wrong does not mean one is lying Bucktooth. It means that one was incorrect on one of the points. However, it still does not change the conclusion. Hanjour was not a competent pilot by testimony of every one of his instructors who have testified or spoken without exception. It does not change the FACT that this incompetent pilot had NEVER under ANY circumstances, at ANY time flown ANY Jet Aircraft nor anything larger than a 4 seat, twin engine, propeller driven, Piper Apache.

"Bean Counters"? That's what you call the ONI Office of Naval Intelligence financial crime investigators?: "Our sources have informed us that there was a group of ONI [Office of Naval Intelligence] working in this part of the Pentagon (that was destroyed) that were investigating the $120 billion Brady Bond scam I have reported on recently." A masterful crime or a diabolical yet masterful spy operation? Probably both. Instead of a terrorist attack, the crime begins to look like a huge scam with billions in profits and thousands dead. [end excerpt] 911 Staged to Derail ONI Investigation of Nazi Plunder: This report contends that not only were the buildings targets, but that specific offices within each building were the designated targets. These offices unknowingly held information which if exposed, subsequently would expose a national security secret of unimaginable magnitude. Protecting that secret was the motivation for the September 11th attacks. This report is about that national security secret: its origins and impact. The intent of the report is to provide a context for understanding the events of September 11th rather than to define exactly what happened that day. Initially, it is difficult to see a pattern to the destruction of September 11th other than the total destruction of the World Trade Center, a segment of the Pentagon, four commercial aircraft and the loss of 2,993 lives. However, if the perceived objective of the attack is re-defined from its commonly suggested ‘symbolic’ designation as either ‘a terrorist attack’ or a ‘new Pearl Harbor,’ and one begins by looking at it as purely a crime with specific objectives (as opposed to a political action), there is a compelling logic to the pattern of destruction. This article provides research into the early claims by Dick Eastman, Tom Flocco, V.K. Durham and Karl Schwarz that the September 11th attacks were meant as a cover-up for financial crimes being investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), whose offices in the Pentagon were destroyed on September 11th. After six years of research, this report presents corroborating evidence which supports their claims, and proposes a new rationale for the September 11th attacks. In doing so, many of the anomalies – or inconvenient facts surrounding this event – take on a meaning that is consistent with the claims of Eastman et al. The hypothesis of this report is: the attacks of September 11th were intended to cover-up the clearing of $240 billion dollars in securities covertly created in September 1991 to fund a covert economic war against the Soviet Union, during which ‘unknown’ western investors bought up much of the Soviet industry, with a focus on oil and gas. The attacks of September 11th also served to derail multiple Federal investigations away from crimes associated with the 1991 covert operation. [end excerpts] I didn't post those references to get your personal opinion about that aspect of the 9/11 research and investigations into motives and whodunnit but as evidence for you to verify that the Office of Naval Intelligence is what you're alluding to when you keep saying "Bean Counters" derisively and dehumanizingly?

Do your own research. I grant the point. Hani Hanjoor had a Commercial Ticket, one that one of his instructors thought must be a fraud. However, he was NOT licensed to fly a Jet Airliner which requires a certification higher than he had been granted. And again, issue of the commercial ticket aside I defy you to find even one of his instructors that said anything other than he was an incompetent pilot.

It was somebody or something other than him, that much we can say for certain.
But you know how those suicide bombers/pilots are. They just want to die themselves and don't want to do any more damage or kill anyone else if they can help it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. I'm not disputing your point, because it is a good one and valid. However, it seems that when one peels back the layers of this onion that it likely had multiple motivations. It is likely, given the set up to place the explosives for the demolition of the towers, that 911 was in the planning stages years before Jorge, the little Cretin, Boosch stole office. The financial cover ups are likely an afterthought and affected final target selection, but with WTC 7 they had to "pull" it without the cover of an airplane impact to blame the collapse on. That means it was likely decided to demolish it after the primary plans had already been laid. I suspect that the original intended target for Flight 77 was the Capital Dome but that they changed it to the Pentagram because of the need to cover up the massive thefts.

If that were the case then could just say this plane hit the Pentagon and still blame the Muslims. They don't need to hide the videos if that is the case. Yes, they have said all along that 77 hit it, but if they knew it was going to be a drone, they could have just said it hit it and shown the video of it. The only reason they have for not showing it is that there was no plane that hit the Pentagon. I don't think it was a missile either. There was no evidence for a missile, and a missile also presents lots of room for error on a day, place, and time where errors could not be tolerated.
God is always good!
Where have I placed words into anyone's posts? I take their literal post as a method to understand not just how STUPID they are... but also GULLIBLE.

I never definitively stated that he didn't have it, I said he more than likely didn't, since there's no way a person with such total lack of ability SHOULD have had one. I thought it was either simply alleged that he had one, or that it was a fake, much like his instructors thought that his license had to have been a fake... From Al Qaeda’s Top Gun According to FAA inspector Michael Gonzales, when Pan Am International Flight Academy contacted the FAA to verify that Hanjour’s license was valid, "There should have been a stop right then and there." The Associated Press reported that Gonzales "said Hanjour should have been re-examined as a commercial pilot, as required by federal law."37 But that was not done. Instead, the FAA inspector who "even sat next to the hijacker, Hani Hanjour, in one of the Arizona classes" and "checked records to ensure Hanjour’s 1999 pilot’s license was legitimate" concluded that "no other action was warranted" and actually suggested that Hanjour get a translator to help him complete his class. "He offered a translator," said the school’s manager, who "was surprised" by the suggestion. "Of course, I brought up the fact that went against the rules that require a pilot to be able to write and speak English fluently before they even get their license."45 In fact, I found the above article only after you posted a copy of the actual license, where on the license he spelt his name Hanjoor, not Hanjour, as is widely reported in the media. As it turns out, sure he had one, but he SHOULDN'T have had one. That raises two possibilies; Is that supposed to prove anything, other than the fact you're trying to be 4um's new BeAChooser? BeAChooser at least was intelligent, and also had decent manners. You fail in those departments.
There's not too many times you DON'T do it.
What about the penetration within the Pentagon, and the timing of the blast not coinciding with the time the plane is alleged to have hit?
Which is riduculously low and not even beyond the realm of student pilot competency. Fighter planes routinely pull turns of 8 or 9 G's. Private pilots must complete a 2 G turn within 200 feet to even get a Single Engine certificate. Utter nonsense. The point is attempted to be made that this simple 1/2 G turn is somehow a maneuver that pushes the aircraft and its pilot to performance edges a marginal pilot is incapable of achieving. Utterly false. So a pilot pulling 1/2 G when he needs to do a 2G turn to even get a license is supposed to be "high performance," and a plane pulling 1/2 G's when it can withstand 3.9 G's is also supposed to be "high performance?" And these 2 facts are supposed to be "irrelevant?" How about quitting while you're behind, and stop trying to push the threshhold for inane remarks. Yes it is. No it isn't. You yourself say it was only 1/2 G. You probably get more G's riding in an elevator.

Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/LatestAs I have already said, in a 450 MPH crash of a 200,000 pound aircraft there are lots of unprecedented forces of momentum, kinetic energy, and fuel explosions at work, and to simply deny that something could have happened without knowledge and reconstruction of all factors at work is not appropriate methodology.

The claims of "fighter pilot maneuvers" are from people [some 4um posters] who are not thinking critically.

As I repeatedly note, he didn't even do that too well, but he did manage to salvage something out of a botched attempt to hit the north facing offices.

So all of the senior air traffic controllers who were there at Dulles International Airport "weren't thinking critically", you are smarter and know more than them, even though they were there in the control tower, but you weren't.

It looks to me like the 2nd page of those documents you posted shows that the Commercial Certification/Rating (Piper aircraft used) expired on Leap Year day 2/29/00, a little over a year and a half before 9/11.

What it comes down to is that it was obviously NOT Hanjour flying that plane.

The point is moot. Hanjour went through flight training. FL and O_I both lied or are ignorant becasue of their conspiracy threads.
#471. To: Original_Intent (#470)
At no time has either FL or myself said that Hanjour/Hanjoor had not had training.

#473. To: Original_Intent, buckeroo (#472)
Now, we do not know who was behind the stick, or whether it was done by remote control, but I think the data more than supports that Hanjour/Hanjoor was nowhere near competent to perform the feats of aerobatics with a Jumbo Jet that Flight 77 went through.
#474. To: buckeroo (#471)
Who said you or FL did, Mr, strawman? Both of you repeatedly said he had no certification.

Are you kidding, that's Cessna 101 - take an airliner out for a spin over Ohio and fly it straight back into Pentagon airspace by dead reckoning. Never mind that it sounds too far out for even a Hollywood hack to find believable, I think Buckeroo is ordering you to believe it.

Of course the shills

I think we both contested the point, and also admitted that we were incorrect on that point.

If it were Hanjour flying the plane, he COULD have just crashed it like you claim he COULD have done, simply by decreasing speed and diving towards the Pentagon roof, which is about the area of 22 football fields, rather than performing a precision manuever to line up with a 71 foot tall target at 530 mph.

It had to have been some sort of drone, loaded with explosives perhaps, or maybe even armed with a missile which it could have fired immediately before impact.

Nice try buckie but I'm not buying what you're selling.
He was granted a commercial ticket - that's slang for license in case you're unfamiliar with it.
Just as I could say My Father had a Commercial Ticket, and a Sea Plane Rating, and a Flight Instructor's Rating/Ticket, etc., ....

Who said you or FL did, Mr, strawman? Both of you repeatedly said he had no certification.
Another Times article similarly noted that when Hanjour enrolled in February 2001 "at a Phoenix flight school for advanced simulator training to learn how to fly an airliner, a far more complicated task than he had faced in earning a commercial license", his "instructors thought he was so bad a pilot and spoke such poor English that they contacted the Federal Aviation Administration to verify that his license was not a fake."46
It's just one further indication that something REALLY smells to high heaven in all of this.

There was no evidence for a missile, and a missile also presents lots of room for error on a day, place, and time where errors could not be tolerated.

The turn as a point of fact generated about .52 G's.
That the Boeing 757 can has withstood up to 3.9 G's in an emergency maneuver is irrelevant and is a Red Herring which diverts from the point at play.
The question is not whether the plane could withstand a 7,000 foot spiraling descent, in 2.5 minutes
Is a maneuver which is beyond, well beyond, the known competencies of that known incompetent pilot Hani Hanjour.
One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work....Noam Chomsky
