9/11 See other 9/11 Articles Title: What Really Happened on 9/11; Why All the Secrecy? What Really Happened on 9/11; Why All the Secrecy? by Dr. Robert M. Bowman There are conspiracy theories flying around the internet like seagulls around a landfill. Many people are convinced that George W. Bush knew what was going to happen and purposely allowed it to happen so he and his neo-conservative buddies could have the new Pearl Harbor they needed to justify their wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. Others go further. They are absolutely sure Cheney and company actually planned and carried out the attack (usually along with the Mossad). These folks dont think there were ever any Arab hijackers at all. What is so disturbing is that their arguments are quite convincing. If an enormous cloud of suspicion is not to be permanently over the head of our government, the Bush Administration must come clean, releasing information thus far withheld from the American people. Clearing themselves of actively planning and carrying out the 9/11 attacks ought to be fairly easy. All they have to do is give the American people the answers to a few key questions: (1) Why were there no Arab names on the passenger lists provided by the airlines? (2) What exactly is the status of the remote control system which conspiracy theorists say was used to hijack the airliners a system designed to thwart hijackers by moving control from the cockpit to ground controllers. (3) Why is there no evidence of flight 77 which supposedly flew into the Pentagon? Why was there such a small hole in the Pentagon? Why were no wings or engines found? Why are there no eyewitnesses that saw the plane? Give us the evidence that it happened the way you say and that the Pentagon was not hit by a U.S. missile and flight 77 shot down over the ocean. Dealing with the other major theory, however, (that Osama bin Laden really did it, but Bush et al let it happen) will require more answers. Various web sites have literally hundreds of unanswered questions. A group of New Jersey widows of men who died in the World Trade Center collapse have compiled quite a few. If this government is to have any credibility and avoid being seen as responsible for allowing thousands of Americans to die, it must answer these questions promptly and honestly. Here are just a few: (4) What was in the CIA daily brief presented to the president on August 6, 2001, and why has it been withheld for so long? The Congressional committee and the independent commission have both requested copies and been refused. Why? (5) Why did John Ashcroft and top Pentagon officials cancel plans to fly commercial airlines the morning of 9/11? If they knew what was about to happen, why wasnt it stopped? (6) Who made all the millions of dollars selling short United and American Airlines just before 9/11? The hijackers obviously had no use for the money. Who besides them knew that those two particular airlines were going to suffer devastating losses on 9/11? Our intelligence agencies have Promis software that detects unusual stock trades. These trades were 25 times as great as usual. If, as has been reported, alarm bells were going off at our intelligence agencies on 9/10, why didnt they beef up security on United and American flights? Why didnt they react promptly to the hijackings? (7) Why werent the hijacked airliners intercepted by jet fighters and shot down before they could fly into the WTC and Pentagon? Standard procedures call for any airliner that loses radio contact or goes off course to be intercepted. Four airliners were hijacked almost simultaneously, and it was obvious to air traffic controllers immediately. The transponders on the airliners were turned off. The hijackers were heard on the radio. And the four deviated drastically from their assigned courses. Was NORAD told? If not, why not? (8) What was President Bush doing sitting in a classroom for half an hour after he was told that the country was under attack? Why didnt the Secret Service rush him away from where everyone knew he was, unless they knew he wasnt a target? If they knew that, how? There are many more unanswered questions. If the PNAC oil mafia didnt purposely let 9/11 happen so they could have their new Pearl Harbor and pursue their imperialist wars, then why dont they answer some of these questions??? Poster Comment: Seeing this concerted effort by the NeoCons and their Politboro, I feel it's time to dig a little deeper into "The Official Story". I've known for a long time that Bush/Cheney allowed Sept. 11th to happen with foreknowledge, at the very least. I want answers and now is the time to figure out why a man as respected and brilliant as Dr. Bowman is asking them. Has anyone given the answers??

PATRIOTS QUESTION 9/11 Col. Robert Bowman, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret) Director of Advanced Space Programs Development under Presidents Ford and Carter. U.S. Air Force fighter pilot with over 100 combat missions. (PhD in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering, Cal Tech). Former Head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering and Assistant Dean at the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology. 22-year Air Force career. Also taught Mathematics and English at the University of Southern California, the University of Maryland, and Phillips University. * Video 9/11/04: "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. Its impossible.
Theres a second group of facts having to do with the cover up.
Taken together these things prove that high levels of our government dont want us to know what happened and whos 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 its highly placed individuals in the administration with all roads passing through Dick Cheney. I think the very kindest thing that we can say about George W. Bush and all the people in the U.S. Government that have been involved in this massive cover-up, the very kindest thing we can say is that they were aware of impending attacks and let them happen. Now some people will say thats much too kind, however even that is high treason and conspiracy to commit murder." http://video.go * Signatory: Petition requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11: "We want truthful answers to question.
As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things: o An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer o Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings. o Media attention to scrutinize and investigate the evidence. o The formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry." http://www.911truth.org/article * Member: Pilots for 9/11 Truth Association Statement: "Pilots for 9/11 Truth is an organization of aviation professionals and pilots throughout the globe that have gathered together for one purpose. We are committed to seeking the truth surrounding the events of the 11th of September 2001. Our main focus concentrates on the four flights, maneuvers performed and the reported pilots. We do not offer theory or point blame. However, we are focused on determining the truth of that fateful day since the United States Government doesn't seem to be very forthcoming with answers." * Website: http://www.thepatriots.us
