Italian film-maker Giulietto Chiesa, who was in Berlin for a screening of his documentary which questions the official US version of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has called for an international tribunal to probe events. Chiesa was in Berlin at the weekend for a screening of his film which features, among others, novelist Gore Vidal and playwright Dario Fo as well as retired American professor of philosophy David Ray Griffin who advances conspiracy theories that contradict mainstream accounts of events of 11 September, 2001. Federal Aviation Administration controllers, US Air Force pilots, military commanders and physicists also appear in the critical documentary, which the director hopes will create "political awareness" of the "faulty" official investigation into the events by the 9/11 Commission. "Some of the individuals appearing in the film are former FBI and CIA agents, people who have in a sense taken a very big risk in speaking out. I am very grateful to them because they have done a big job," said Chiesa. "The film would not have been possible without them," he said, adding that ZERO had been seen in France and Belgium at individual screenings, and by more than 20,000 people in Italy. But the film so far has not gained a distributor in Europe. Chiesa, one of Italy's most respected journalists and a La Stampa foreign correspondent for more than 20 years, told his Berlin audience an 9/11 international tribunal could serve a useful purpose. "If feelings were strong enough a positive result could be obtained, but it would not happen immediately. So far it's been the US administration that has won the information fight and obtained their result -- unfortunately," Chiesa said. "Our task is to inform millions of people of the true situation. Everybody should be involved in this struggle with a tribunal or commission helping once we win approval for the idea," he said. In an interview with German news agency dpa, Chiesa, a European parliamentary deputy, said Russian television is to give prime time airing to his film on the eve of this week's seventh anniversary of the attacks in New York and Washington. "That means that some 30 million Russian citizens will learn the truth about what happened, which is a very big result for me." Chiesa, whose documentary was first screened to a large German audience at the Goethe Institute in Munich in May, was clearly delighted at his reception in Berlin. "It's important that so many people have shown up," he said. One of a panel of six experts debating the 9/11 topic in Berlin, Chiesa said he was eager for his film to gain more public support and become a "multiplicator" across Germany. "If that happens it means we are making politics in the right sense of the word." Critics question government version of attacks Andreas von Buelow, a controversial former German minister of technology, and ex-state secretary in the Defense Ministry, was among the Berlin participants who said further investigation was needed into 9/11. He told dpa it was "one of life's characteristics that governments are prone to lie in order to achieve their agendas. The Americans told us that in Iraq, Saddam Hussein had something to do with al-Qaeda, which was absolutely untrue. Even the CIA knew this," he said. "Then, they told us that Saddam Hussein was preparing weapons of mass destruction, which was also untrue, so they have been lying all over the place and are still fighting there. Meanwhile a million people have been killed." Asked if there was any prospect of a policy change once the next US president was elected, he replied bluntly "No!" Juergen Elsaesser, 51, a Berlin-based journalist and author whose latest book is titled "Terror Target Europe: The Dangerous Double Game of the Secret Services," spoke of the huge contradictions in the official US version of the 9/11 events. "Critics find themselves accused of conspiracy theories, but the biggest conspiracy is to be found in the official 9/11 version of the US government which maintains that Osama bin Laden, from a cave in Afghanistan, along with 19 young Arabs, combined to carry out the most perfidious attack in the history of mankind," he said. "That just doesn't add up. For me the most important contradiction is how the air defences of the greatest military power on the planet failed to prevent such attacks occurring and that no interceptor fighter planes or rocket systems were ever activated."

This was my contention on the morning of 9-11 while discussing the event with my sister as it unfolded. I was in the Air Force and aware of their various protocols for emergencies and the alert status of aircraft such as the fighters that didn't show up ... especially to defend the Pentagram ! [88 minites elapsed without a hint of defense aircraft]. NOTE: New York City and Washington D.C. are the most defended areas on planet earth. Two things stand out in my mind related to plausibility ... the defense department wishing to keep certain facts secret for security reasons (such as was flight 93 shot down in Pennsylvania) and the trade towers being pre-loaded with demolition charges at the time of their construction. Of course there are a million other inconsistencies and the very flawed 9-11 report that must be answered if not by this administration of thugs ... the next one cannot be let off of the hook ... even if they institute another bullshit war or a depression.
"Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States." "Mr. Chairman, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here that the United States was to be lowered to the position of a coolie country. . and was to supply financial power to an international superstate -- a superstate controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the World for their own pleasure."
On the afternoon of 911, my father, a veteran marine from WW2 in the Phillipines and Japan, said to me, "our government did it."
I came to that same conclusion before the first day was over. I hope all these heart operations keep 'the dick cheney' alive so he can be hanged when it is proven beyond a shadow of doubt that our gov't did it. I truly believe we're gonna need mucho rope.
Your father was ahead of the curve.
Every generation of American since the turn of the century has had ample opportunity to serve militarily ... and many were witness to one program or another that caused them to see the U.S. Govt. in a whole new light. Your dad sounds like he may have been one of these vets. Good for him, many of the WWII vets witnessed various unamerican activities conducted as a matter of policy but remained silent when they were discharged. That's just the way things were done then. (I'd include the Korean vets too.) Vietnam opened Pandora's Box ... and vets realized it was time to scream "foul". 9-11 most assuredly had American Intel finger prints on it ... It's good to know others knew it. I heard Bugliosi talking about his Book yesterday on the radio and he wants Bush prosecuted for murder(s). I hope he has his way !

That, he was.
These people better not fly.
