• January 5, 2005 - Ex-FBI agent admits giving online stock traders 9/11 data.
"A former FBI agent admitted that he gave online stock traders confidential details of federal investigations, including a
probe of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
One of the recipients was San Diego stock speculator Anthony Elgindy. A Justice Department task force had begun the
investigation of Elgindy to determine whether anyone might have known of the terrorists' plans and profited by selling
vulnerable stocks just before the attacks, Jeffrey Royer said.
Elgindy was not charged in connection with that probe, but an investigation into the ties between Elgindy and Royer led
to charges against the two men of racketeering, securities fraud and other crimes. The two are on trial together in
federal court in Brooklyn.
Taking the stand Monday in his defense, Royer acknowledged he had revealed the existence of FBI and SEC investigations, executives' criminal
records and other sensitive information to Elgindy and associate Derrick Cleveland.
When pressed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth Levine about apparent violations of FBI rules, Royer grew testy, asserting he was an
independent-minded agent who had the right to decide what information to reveal.
"It's real easy for you to armchair quarterback when you don't have anything to do with the case," Royer told Levine. "Pursuant to a law-
enforcement purpose, I can do anything I want with the files."
Cleveland has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and testified against Elgindy and Royer." - San Diego Union Tribune

• January 5, 2005 - Conspiracy theorists see dark forces behind tsunami disaster
"Just 11 days after Asia's tsunami catastrophe, conspiracy theorists are out in force, accusing governments of a cover-up, blaming the military
for testing top-secret eco-weapons or aliens trying to correct the Earth's "wobbly" rotation.
In bars and Internet chatrooms around the world questions are being asked, with knowing nods and winks, about who caused the submarine
earthquake off Sumatra on December 26, and why governments were so slow to act in the minutes and hours before tsunamis slammed into
their shores, killing almost 150,000.
"There's a lot more to this. Why is the US sending a warship? Why is a senior commander who was in Iraq going there?" whispered designer
Mark Tyler, drinking a pint of beer at a bar in Hong Kong's Wan Chai district.
"This happened exactly a year after Bam," said Tyler, referring to the earthquake in Iran which killed 30,000 on December 26 last year. "Is that
a coincidence? And there was no previous seismic activity recorded in Sumatra before the quake, which is very strange," he said, nodding
somberly.
After every globally shocking event -- from the bombing of Pearl Harbour to the assassination of John F Kennedy, the death of Princess Diana
and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States -- conspiracy theorists emerge with their own sinister take on events.
This time the Indian and US military are in the frame, while the governments of countries from Australia to Thailand stand accused of
deliberately failing to act on warnings of the impending earthquake or the tsunamis it unleashed around Asia.
Among the more common suggestions is that eco-weapons which can trigger earthquakes and volcanoes remotely through the use of
electromagnetic waves were being tested.
The Free Internet Press, which claims to offer "uncensored news for real people", has an article saying the US military and the State
Department received advanced warning of the tsunami, but did little to warn Asian countries.
America's Navy base on the Indian Ocean jungle atoll of Diego Garcia was notified and escaped unscathed, it said, asking "why were fishermen
in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand not provided with the same warnings?.
"Why did the US State Department remain mum on the existence of an impending catastrophe?," author Michel Chossudovsky pondered.
The India Daily's website joined the conspiracy theorists noting, "it seems the whole world decided to fail to do anything together at the same
time. Are we missing something?" - Channel News Asia/AFP (01/05/05)
• January 7, 2005 - CIA report faults top officials for pre-9/11 lapses
"A report from the CIA's independent investigator is expected to conclude officials at the highest level of the agency are to
blame for pre-September 11 intelligence lapses.
The report by the CIA's inspector general, John Helgerson, which is nearly complete, concludes that senior leaders should
be held accountable for failing to provide adequate resources for combating terrorism, the New York Times reports in its
Friday editions.
Among those who receive the most pointed criticism in a draft version are former CIA Director George Tenet and former
Deputy Director of Operations Jim Pavitt, both of whom resigned last summer, the newspaper said. The report quoted current and former
intelligence officials." - CNN (01/07/05)

• January 9, 2005 - Let bin Laden stay free, says ex-No. 3 CIA man
A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard.
"Three years after the attack on New York's World Trade Center, the manhunt for Osama bin Laden has
failed to produce the world's most wanted terrorist, and, according to the former No. 3 man at the CIA,
that's just fine.
Former Central Intelligence Agency executive, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard, has told the London Times that
letting the al-Qaida leader run free may actually make the world a safer place.
"You can make the argument that we're better off with him (at large)," Krongard said. "Because if something happens to bin
Laden, you might find a lot of people vying for his position and demonstrating how macho they are by unleashing a stream of terror."
Krongard, former head of Alex. Brown & Co., a Baltimore-based investment bank, came to the CIA in 1998 as then Director George Tenet's
counsel. He was appointed executive director of the CIA in March 2001 by President Bush. Krongard, 68, stepped down six weeks ago as the
agency's third most senior executive following the appointment of Porter Goss as director.
Krongard is the most senior official to date to publicly question the wisdom of capturing Osama. If his views are widely shared – and the
London Times reports that other U.S. officials have privately said pinning bin Laden down on the Afghan-Pakistan border is preferable to
making him a martyr or trying him – they represent a break with three years of official pronouncements about bringing him to justice.
Only this week the U.S. re-stated its desire to capture the elusive bin Laden and more than a dozen other al-Qaida figures by placing a half
page ad in the Urdu daily "Jang" promising millions of dollars in rewards. "All the information would be kept secret," the U.S. Justice
Department advertisement promised." - WorldNetDaily (01/09/05)

• January 11, 2005 - Bush nominates Whitewater scandal/Vincent Foster suicide investigator
and Patriot Act co-architect Michael Chertoff for Homeland Security Post.
President Bush nominated federal judge as the new Homeland Security chief Tuesday, completing the second-term Cabinet with a former
prosecutor who recently called for a new look at the tough terrorist detainee laws that he helped craft after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Chertoff would replace Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who helped build the new department after the terror attacks by combining
22 existing and often competing federal agencies. Ridge, often identified with the color-coded terror alerts, plans to step down from his post
Feb. 1.
Chertoff's resume includes stint as a Supreme Court clerk and as the Senate Republicans' chief counsel for the Clinton-era Whitewater
investigation. He helped develop the U.S. Patriot Act, which greatly expanded the government's surveillance and detention powers.
His role in crafting that law, a measure that has become a flashpoint for critics who say it has eroded civil liberties, is expected to bring sharp
questioning in Senate confirmation hearings.
The American Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday that as an architect of the act, Chertoff seemed to view the Bill of Rights "as an obstacle to
national security rather than a guidebook for how to do security properly."
Chertoff's tenure at the Justice Department included high-profile cases that his criminal division either lost or that have yet to be resolved:
The collapse in Detroit of the first post-Sept. 11 prosecution of an alleged terrorist sleeper cell. The charges were thrown out because of
misconduct by prosecutors.
The case of a Saudi college student in Boise, Idaho, who was acquitted for lack of evidence on charges he created an Internet network that
prosecutors claimed fostered Islamic extremism and helped recruit potential terrorists.
The still-incomplete prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only U.S. defendant charged in an al-Qaida conspiracy that includes the Sept. 11
attacks.
As chief Republican counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee, Chertoff played a major role in the investigation of various allegations
against then-President Clinton, including his Arkansas business dealings and the suicide of Clinton aide Vincent Foster.
Chertoff and his wife each donated $1,000 to Bush's first presidential campaign." - ABC (01/11/05)

• January 12, 2005 - The White House says the U.S. is no longer searching for the
WMD's that President Bush often pointed to as he made his case for an Iraq war.
"The White House says the United States is no longer actively searching for the weapons of mass destruction that
President Bush often pointed to as he made his case for war, reports CBS News White House Correspondent Peter Maer.
Chief weapon hunter Charles Duelfer is expected to make only small additions to his October report that found Saddam

• January 12, 2005 - Secretary Tom Ridge close to lobbying firm's chairman,
Company's clients won lucrative Homeland Security contracts
"As the Homeland Security Department was starting up, Secretary Tom Ridge twice stayed overnight at the Arizona home of
a wealthy friend who ran a lobbying firm that was aggressively expanding its homeland security business.
The Blank Rome firm, whose chairman is former Ridge fund-raiser David Girard-diCarlo, hired two of Ridge's aides to lobby
the new department, and some of the firm's clients eventually landed lucrative contracts, according to documents and
interviews.
Blank Rome has lobbied Ridge's department on behalf of 29 companies, three nonprofit groups and a trade association for
the software industry, according to reports the firm filed with Congress.
In a statement, the lobbying firm called Ridge and Girard-diCarlo "close personal friends for more than a decade."
Ridge and Girard-diCarlo worked together in Pennsylvania to raise more than $400,000 for the Bush-Cheney campaign in 1999 and 2000.
Before that, Girard-diCarlo helped Ridge raise money as Pennsylvania governor.
The day after the department's creation on November 25, 2002, Ridge flew to Arizona with his wife and stayed overnight for two or three days
in Girard-diCarlo's gated-community home in Scottsdale, officials say. Six days before Ridge's visit, Girard-diCarlo had taken out a $3 million
loan on the newly built home.
The month after the trip, the first of two Ridge's White House aides left the government and went to work for Girard-diCarlo's firm focusing on
homeland security issues.
That aide, Mark Holman, has been "the closest governmental and political adviser to Secretary Tom Ridge for over 18 years," a federal
contractor proclaimed in promotional material for a seminar series for which Holman was a featured speaker.
Holman, Ridge's chief of staff during his years as Pennsylvania governor, worked briefly for Girard-diCarlo's firm before Ridge brought him to
the White House.
When they got to Blank Rome, Holman and the other former Ridge White House aide, Ashley Davis, started signing up new homeland security
clients and lobbying Ridge's department.

Ridge made a second trip to Girard-diCarlo's Arizona home in mid-April 2003, helping to celebrate the lobbyist's wedding anniversary with 50
other couples.
In addition to the two Arizona trips, Ridge has been to Girard-diCarlo's Washington condominium on social occasions, and the two have run
into each other at social events around town, Ridge's office says.
At the time of Ridge's trips to Arizona, Girard-diCarlo's firm represented Raytheon, which is on a team of companies recently awarded border
protection work by Ridge's department worth up to $10 billion over the next decade.
Since early 2003, Blank Rome has lobbied Ridge's department on behalf of the technology services company BearingPoint. The department
awarded a $229 million contract to the company in September.
Boeing, another Blank Rome client, says it received help from Girard-diCarlo's firm in setting up a meeting early this year with the No. 2
official at Ridge's department, Adm. James Loy.
Boeing is performing more than $1 billion worth of work for Ridge's department under a competitively bid contract awarded by the
Transportation Department the year before Homeland Security was created." - CNN (01/12/05)
• January 12, 2005 - The ACLU files a brief to the D.C. Court of Appeals to reinstate
the case of former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, saying that the government is
abusing the "state secrets privilege" to silence employees who expose national
security blunders.
"The American Civil Liberties Union today urged the D.C. Court of Appeals to reinstate the case of former FBI translator
Sibel Edmonds, saying that the government is abusing the "state secrets privilege" to silence employees who expose national security
blunders.
"The government should be applauding, not punishing, employees who risk their jobs to expose threats to our nation’s security," said ACLU
Associate Legal Director Ann Beeson. "If the lower court ruling stands, many thousands of government employees will be unprotected from
retaliatory dismissal, with no recourse in the courts, and others will be even less willing to risk exposing misconduct or corruption."
Edmonds, a former Middle Eastern language specialist hired by the FBI shortly after 9/11, was fired in 2002 after repeatedly reporting serious
security breaches and misconduct in the agency’s translation program. She challenged her retaliatory dismissal by filing suit in federal court.
Last July, the district court dismissed her case when Attorney General John Ashcroft invoked the so-called state secrets privilege. The ACLU is
representing Edmonds in the appeal.
In the brief filed today, the ACLU sharply criticizes the government’s "radical theory" that every aspect of the Edmonds’ case involves state
secrets and therefore it cannot go forward. In accepting the government’s theory, the ACLU said, the district court relied on the government’s
secret evidence but denied Edmonds the opportunity to prove her case based on non-sensitive evidence. That approach, the ACLU said, "made
a mockery of the adversarial process and denied Ms. Edmonds her constitutional right to a day in court."
The state secrets privilege, when properly invoked, permits the government to block disclosure of particular documents that would cause harm
to national security. In the Edmonds case, the government used the privilege not just to protect particular documents but to urge dismissal of
the entire case.
The government is engaged in a similar cover-up in the Edmonds case, the ACLU said. In 2002, at the request of Senate Judiciary Committee
members Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the FBI provided several unclassified briefings to Members of Congress in which it
confirmed many of Edmonds' allegations.
Only two weeks after the district court dismissed Edmonds’ case, FBI director Robert Mueller wrote a letter to Senator Grassley reporting that
the Department of Justice Inspector General had completed a classified investigation and concluded that Edmonds’ allegations "were at least a
contributing factor in why the FBI terminated her services." - ACLU (01/12/05)

• January 12, 2005 - The FBI is keeping 257.5 million records on people who flew
on commercial airlines from June through September 2001.
"If you're among the millions of Americans who took airline flights in the months before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, the FBI probably knows about it - and possibly where you stayed, whom you traveled with, what credit card you
used and even whether you ordered a kosher meal.
The bureau is keeping 257.5 million records on people who flew on commercial airlines from June through September
2001 in its permanent investigative database, according to information obtained by a privacy group and made available
to The Associated Press.
Privacy advocates say they're troubled by the possibility that the FBI could be analyzing personal information about people without their
knowledge or permission.
Hofmann, though, said the FBI still had a legal responsibility to tell people that it had obtained information about them and to let them have
access to it.
As part of its investigation into the terrorist attacks, the FBI asked for, and got, the records from a number of airlines shortly after Sept. 11.
The FBI also got one set of data through a federal grand jury subpoena.
The privacy center in May requested records of the FBI's acquisition of the data. The bureau last week turned over 12 pages of information,
much of it blanked out for security reasons.
The 12 pages do show that the bureau obtained 82.1 million passenger manifests, or lists of people who flew on planes, between January and
September 2001, in addition to the 257.5 million passenger name records.
Citing privacy concerns, the FBI didn't reveal which airlines turned over the information, which airline employees turned it over and which FBI
special agents got it.
The data are called passenger name records, or PNR, and can include a variety of information such as credit card numbers, travel itineraries,
addresses, telephone numbers and meal requests.
David Hardy, the FBI's chief of the record/information dissemination section of the records management division, said in a legal document

• January 25, 2005 - 9/11 victim’s son asks FBI to describe his Mother's ordeal
before her plane struck the WTC at Mounir el-Motassadeq's retrial.
"In harrowing exchanges before a German court, the son of a Sept. 11 victim asked an FBI agent on Tuesday to detail his
mother’s ordeal in the “hellish” minutes before her plane hit New York’s World Trade Center.
“Are you able to conclude it would be akin to torture, what happened to my mother?” American Dominic Puopolo Jr. asked
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent Matthew Walsh.
The exchanges came as Walsh gave a first day of testimony at the retrial of Mounir El Motassadeq, a Moroccan man accused
of aiding and abetting the attacks that killed nearly 2,800 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
Puopolo, a co-plaintiff with the German state prosecution, was seeking to reinforce the case against Motassadeq.
He repeatedly asked Walsh to try to describe what his mother Sonia Morales Puopolo and her fellow passengers must have experienced after
hijackers led by Mohamed Atta took control of American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles.
Walsh said the effects of pepper spray released by the hijackers were most severe at the front of the plane where Puopolo’s mother, a severe
asthmatic, was sitting in first-class seat 3J, one row behind two of the hijackers and five rows in front of Atta.
“It was certainly what I would describe as hellish on board the plane,” Walsh said, adding two flight attendants had been stabbed and one
passenger had his throat slashed.
“The plane was being flown very erratically and blood was being shed on board.” - MSNBC/Reuters (01/25/05)

• January 31, 2005 - A key al Qaeda suspect in U.S. custody has said Mounir el-
Motassadeq had no knowledge of the 9/11 attack plot.
"A key al Qaeda suspect in U.S. custody has said a Moroccan man on trial in Germany had no knowledge of the September
11 attack plot, according to an interrogation summary.
The summary was read out Wednesday in the Hamburg courtroom where Mounir el-Motassadeq is being retried on charges
in connection with the 2001 attack.
He was convicted in 2003 but the verdict was thrown out by an appeals court in March and he was freed in April.
The appeals court said the conviction was unfair because U.S.-held suspects didn't testify. As El-Motassadeq's retrial opened Tuesday,
Washington pledged to provide evidence but not live testimony from the suspects.
The U.S. Justice Department faxed the German court summaries of the interrogation of two key detainees: Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid Shaikh
Mohammed.
Binalshibh, believed to be the Hamburg cell's contact with al Qaeda, said "the only members of the Hamburg cell were himself, Atta, al-Shehhi
and Jarrah," according to the summary, The Associated Press reported.
Binalshibh said "the activities of the Hamburg group were not known to el Motassadeq," the summary added.
The group was "well known by a number of Arab students," but "Binalshibh said that the people in question had no knowledge and were not
participants in any facet of the operative plans of September 11."
According to the summary, the Justice Department had "doubts" about some of the testimony, but the summary did not elaborate.
Binalshibh also said that while el-Motassadeq had transferred money on behalf of one of the plotters, he did not know for what purpose,
Reuters reported.
Mohammed, who is believed to have masterminded the September 11 plot, told interrogators that Binalshibh had not told Motassadeq of the
details for security reasons.
Binalshibh gave interrogators a list of more than a dozen names of people who he said had no knowledge of and did not take part in any
aspect of the 9/11 plan. The list included Zacarias Moussaoui, a suspect being held in the United States, Reuters reported.
According to the summary, the Justice Department had "doubts" about some of the testimony, and that the persons interrogated might have
withheld information.
German prosecutors have suggested Binalshibh would not be a credible witness because he might lie to protect el Motassadeq.
El-Motassadeq's lawyers are calling for the Hamburg state court to throw out the case, suggesting that any information gathered by U.S.
intelligence services might have been obtained through use of torture.
U.S. authorities have said they cannot provide direct contact with suspects including Binalshibh and Mohammed for national security reasons.
But in el-Motassadeq's first trial, the U.S. government refused to allow even transcripts of interrogations to be admitted as evidence." - CNN

• January 31, 2005 - Citigroup dropped from lawsuit that charged that the diesel fuel it kept at
WTC 7 was a main culprit in the destruction of the building on 9/11.
"Citigroup Inc. cannot be held responsible for the large stocks of diesel fuel it kept at 7 World Trade Center -- fuel that an insurance company
claimed was a main culprit in the destruction of the building on Sept. 11, 2001 -- a federal judge ruled Friday.
Southern District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein found that covenants in Citigroup's lease with Larry Silverstein, and an insurance company's
agreement with Silverstein, bar the company from proceeding as Silverstein's subrogee against Citigroup Inc. and Citigroup Global Market
Holdings Inc.
In Industrial Risk Insurers v. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, 02 Civ. 7170, Industrial Risk, or IRI, claimed that several parties
were responsible for the destruction of 7 World Trade Center, which sat adjacent to the twin towers that were destroyed by terrorists.
Fires from the twin towers spread to 7 World Trade Center when chunks of the collapsing buildings fell on it. Citigroup had a long-term lease
for portions of its floors one through five and floors 28 through 47 for trading operations for Salomon Smith Barney.
Seeking damages of $75 million, IRI claimed that the system, including the pipes connecting two 6,000 gallon tanks of diesel fuel kept on site
by Citigroup in the event of a power outage, were negligently installed and maintained, and that the ignited fuel intensified the fires and
ensured the building would fall." - Law.com (01/31/05)

• February 7, 2005 - Montreal terrorist suspect Adil Charkaoui, who has been
detained in Canada for nearly two years, testifies in court for the first time and
suggests that ultra-conservative Americans were behind 9/11 for economic gain
and calls the attacks the "world's biggest conspiracy".
"A Moroccan-born Montrealer detained for nearly two years on suspicion of being a terrorist testified for the first time yesterday, suggesting
ultra-conservative Americans may have been responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
"I'm not an expert but from what I read, some guy living in a cave doesn't have the means to plan an attack against the most powerful nation
in the world," Adil Charkaoui said when Federal Court Justice Simon Noël asked who was responsible for the attacks.
"It could've been (Osama) bin Laden," Charkaoui said. "But maybe it was done by ultra-conservatives in the United States for economic gain.
"It was the world's biggest conspiracy."
Charkaoui denied at his bail hearing that he was a terrorist and vowed to abide by any conditions imposed by the judge.
Many household names, including filmmaker Denys Arcand, have posted about $50,000 bail for Charkaoui, who is being held under a
controversial provision of the Immigration Act known as a security certificate.
Most of the evidence against him is seen only by the government and the judge.
The judge doesn't have to determine whether Charkaoui is indeed a terrorist, just whether the two ministers who signed the certificate had
reasonable cause to do so.
If Noël decides they did, Charkaoui faces deportation to Morocco, where the federal government has already said he faces possible torture.
There is no chance for an appeal." - Toronto Star/Canadian Press (02/08/05)

"Mounir al-Motassadeq, the Moroccan on trial in Hamburg as an accused accomplice in the 11 September terror attacks,
carried out money transactions on behalf of one of the suicide pilots, a police witness said on Tuesday.
Motassadeq had power of attorney for Marwan al-Shehhi who was believed to have been at the controls of the hijacked plane
which crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center in 2001, the court was told.
The Federal Police Department witness said Motassadeq carried out several transactions on behalf of al-Shehhi.
These included one in September 2000 when Motassadeq transferred DEM 5,000 (EUR 2556.50) from al-Shehhi's account at the Dresdner
Bank in Hamburg to an account belonging to Ramzi bin al- Shibh, who is thought to have organised the 9/11 attacks.

At issue before the Court of Appeals is access to tapes of 911 calls, Fire Department dispatches and transcripts of interviews with hundreds of
firefighters who responded on the day of the attack.
The New York Times filed the lawsuit after the city declined to release the items. The paper was later joined by relatives of civilians and

Judge Albert Rosenblatt pressed the plaintiff to "give us an example of a privacy interest. Otherwise there is no standard."
"The burden of proof is on the city," Norman Siegel, a lawyer representing the families, said, adding that the city did not consult "a single
family member" before refusing to release the items.
John Hogrogian, a lawyer for the city, did not deny that.
About two dozen relatives of Sept. 11 victims journeyed to Albany to attend the hearing.
"If the city has someone who was against releasing the tapes we should have heard from them," said Russell Mercer, the stepfather of
firefighter Scott Kopytko, 33, who died on Sept. 11." - Newsday (02/09/05)

"Federal aviation officials received dozens of warnings before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks about Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, including some
that mentioned airline hijackings or suicide attacks, The New York Times reported.
In its Thursday editions, the Times said a previously undisclosed report by the commission that investigated the suicide airliner attacks on the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon detailed 52 warnings given to leaders of the Federal Aviation Administration from April to Sept. 10, 2001,
about the radical Islamic terrorist group and its leader.
Information in this report was available to members of the 9/11 commission when they issued their public report last summer. That report
itself contained criticisms of FAA operations." - ABC (02/10/05)

CMK: Finally Mr. Secretary, after the last Hearing, I thought that my office was promised a written response to my question regarding the four
wargames on September 11th. I have not yet received that response, but would like for you to respond to the questions that I've put to you
today. And then I do expect the written response to my previous question - hopefully by the end of the week.

RM: Okay I don't know about the promise, Congresswoman, but could you repeat the question to make sure I'm answering the right question;
this is a 9/11 question.
31:25
CMK: The question was, we had four wargames going on on September 11th, and the question that I tried to pose before the Secretary had to
go to lunch was whether or not the activities of the four wargames going on on September 11th actually impaired our ability to respond to the
attacks.
RM: The answer to the question is no, it did not impair our response, in fact General Eberhart who was in the command of the North American
Aerospace Defense Command as he testified in front of the 9/11 Commission I believe - I believe he told them that it enhanced our ability to
respond, given that NORAD didn't have the overall responsibility for responding to the attacks that day. That was an FAA responsibility. But
they were two CPXs; there was one Department of Justice exercise that didn't have anything to do with the other three; and there was an
actual operation ongoing because there was some Russian bomber activity up near Alaska. So we -
CMK: Let me ask you this, then: who was in charge of managing those wargames?
DH: General, why don't you give the best answer that you can here in a short a period of time and we'll - the gentlelady wants to get a written
answer anyway, and then we can move on to other folks.
RM: The important thing to realize is that North American Aerospace Defense Command was responsible. These are command post exercises;
what that means is that all the battle positions that are normally not filled are indeed filled; so it was an easy transition from an exercise into a
real world situation. It actually enhanced the response; otherwise, it would take somewhere between 30 minutes and a couple of hours to fill
those positions, those battle stations, with the right staff officers.
CMK: Mr. Chairman, begging your indulgence, was September Eleventh declared a National Security Special Event day?
RM: I have to look back; I do not know. Do you mean after the fact, or
CMK: No. Because of the activities going on that had been scheduled at the United Nations that day.
RM: I'd have to go back and check. I don't know." - C-Span (03/11/05) [Transcription and video: fromthewilderness.com; video: youtube,

• February 14, 2005 - Spanish prosecutors seeks 222,000 years in prison and nearly $1.17
billion in fines for 9/11 suspects.
"Spanish prosecutors are seeking a total of 222,000 years in prison and nearly $1.17 billion in fines for three suspects accused of aiding the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
The punishments are among a total of 230,000 years of prison terms sought for 24 suspects held in jail on charges of belonging to an al
Qaeda unit in Spain, according to court documents filed Monday.
The prison terms correspond to all the charges, including 2,973 murders for those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks, but Spanish law would
limit jail sentences to a maximum of 40 years.
The suspected leader of the cell is Syrian-born Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, born in 1963 and also known as Abu Dahdah, who investigators
believe financed and organized Islamic militants in Spain.
He and two other suspects — 32-year-old Moroccan Driss Chebli and 41-year-old Syrian Ghasoub al Abrash Ghalyoun — are charged with
aiding the Sept. 11 hijackers in their preparations for the attacks on New York and Washington.
Prosecutors seek sentences of some 74,000 years for each of the three and fines of 893 million euros.
Another high-profile suspect from the 24 due to go on trial is Tayseer Alouni, 49, a correspondent from Arabic television channel Al Jazeera

• February 15, 2005 - Fahrenheit 9/11 had no effect, says Carlyle chief and
reported its "best ever" year.
"The Carlyle Group, the American private equity firm whose former Saudi links were highlighted by film-maker Michael Moore, yesterday
reported its "best ever" year and said it returned $5.3bn (£2.8bn) to its investors in 2004.
The performance underlined the sheer size of Carlyle. The group withdrew either partially or completely from 71 investments and made 107
new investments. It raised $7.8bn for investment and the amount of cash it returned was more than twice the level of 2003.
Carlyle's London managing director, Robert Easton, said Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 had had no effect on the day-to-day running of the
company.
"In defence we have less than 1% of our funds deployed, but it is the defence sector that gets most noise from the likes of Michael Moore," he
said. "Defence is now such a small part of our business because we have grown massively in other sectors."
Within a few months of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Carlyle bought out the investment in some of its funds of a half-brother of Osama
bin Laden. The group says it now has no investments in Saudi Arabia.
Former US president George Bush senior, who was shown in Moore's film meeting wealthy Saudis, retired as a Carlyle adviser in 2003. Former
British prime minister John Major is still an adviser, but no longer chairman of Carlyle Europe.
Carlyle has almost $19bn under management in Asia, North America and Europe. Companies within Carlyle's portfolio are thought to employ
more than 150,000 people worldwide. The industries in which it has invested most are property, telecommunications and media, aerospace,
information technology, and automobiles and transport." - Guardian (02/15/05)

• February 16, 2005 - Secret FBI report doubts Al Qaeda can stage another 9/11-type and says it
knows of no sleeper cells in the U.S.
Secret FBI Report Questions Al Qaeda Capabilities
A secret FBI report obtained by ABC News concludes that while there is no doubt al Qaeda wants to hit the United States, its capability to do
so is unclear.
"...their capability to do so is unclear, particularly in regard to 'spectacular' operations. We believe al-Qa'ida's capability to launch attacks
within the United States is dependent on its ability to infiltrate and maintain operatives in the United States."
And for all the worry about Osama bin Laden's sleeper cells or agents in the United States, a secret FBI assessment concludes it knows of
none.
The 32-page assessment says flatly, "To date, we have not identified any true 'sleeper' agents in the US," seemingly contradicting the "sleeper
cell" description prosecutors assigned to seven men in Lackawanna, N.Y., in 2002.
It also differs from testimony given by FBI Director Robert Mueller, who warned in the past that several sleeper cells were probably in place.
"Our greatest threat is from al Qaeda cells in the United States that we have not yet been able to identify," Mueller said at a Senate Select
Intelligence Committee hearing in February 2003. "Finding and rooting out al Qaeda members once they have entered the United States and
have had time to establish themselves is our most serious intelligence and law enforcement challenge."
When the secret report was issued last month, on Feb. 16, Mueller testified at a hearing before the same committee that the lack of evidence
concerned him. "I am concerned about what we are not seeing," he said.
But the report continues that "US recruits are hard to find and al-Qa'ida detainees have reported that US citizens can be difficult to work with,
one senior detainee claimed that US citizens and others who grew up in the West, were too independent and thought they knew more about
US operations than senior planners." - ABC (03/09/05)

earned $450,000 on stock options with defense contractor ESSI.

"The Iraq war helped bring record earnings to St. Louis-based defense contractor Engineered Support Systems Inc., and new financial data
show that the firm's war-related profits have trickled down to a familiar family name — Bush.
William H.T. "Bucky" Bush, uncle of the president and youngest brother of former President George H.W. Bush, cashed in ESSI stock options
last month with a net value of nearly half a million dollars.
"Uncle Bucky," as he is known to the president, is on the board of the company, which supplies armor and other materials to U.S. troops. The
company's stock prices have soared to record heights since before the invasion, benefiting in part from contracts to rapidly refit fleets of
military vehicles with extra armor.
William Bush exercised options on 8,438 shares of company stock Jan. 18, according to reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. He acknowledged in an interview that the transaction was worth about $450,000.
William Bush, 66, a onetime St. Louis bank executive and head of an investment firm, joined the board in 2000, eight months before his
nephew won the White House.
Some of the firm's Defense Department work has included no-bid, sole-source contracts, including a $48.8-million deal to refurbish military
trailers.
Other company contracts have raised questions.
Pentagon Acting Undersecretary Michael Wynne said he had referred the contracts "that appear to have anomalies in them." Wynne and his
aides would not elaborate on those anomalies. Other contracts referred for review included pacts with Accenture (formerly called Andersen
Consulting), Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
Company officials acknowledge the war is an economic boon to the firm.
In the conference call with analysts Tuesday, ESSI's Potthoff expressed optimism that the Bush administration's proposed $82-billion
supplemental defense budget submitted last week could mean substantial additional opportunities for the company in Iraq and elsewhere.
"Personally, I could not be more happy about our company's prospects," Potthoff told stock analysts." - LA Times (02/23/05)

Some 9,720 unidentified bone and tissue fragments have been sealed and stored in case developments in technology allow for identification in
the future, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office.
Of those killed, 42 percent remain unidentified due to difficulties in getting DNA samples from the remains.
The medical examiner's office has identified 1,585 victims, but progress has slowed to a halt on 1,161 victims. Only eight remains have been
identified since September." - Reuters (02/23/05)

Secret US plans for Iraq's oil
"The Bush administration made plans for war and for Iraq's oil before the 9/11 attacks, sparking a policy
battle between neo-cons and Big Oil, BBC's Newsnight has revealed.
Two years ago today - when President George Bush announced US, British and Allied forces would begin
to bomb Baghdad - protesters claimed the US had a secret plan for Iraq's oil once Saddam had been
conquered.
In fact there were two conflicting plans, setting off a hidden policy war between neo-conservatives at the Pentagon, on one side, versus a
combination of "Big Oil" executives and US State Department "pragmatists".
"Big Oil" appears to have won. The latest plan, obtained by Newsnight from the US State Department was, we learned, drafted with the help of
American oil industry consultants.
Insiders told Newsnight that planning began "within weeks" of Bush's first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th attack on the
US.
An Iraqi-born oil industry consultant, Falah Aljibury, says he took part in the secret meetings in California, Washington and the Middle East. He
described a State Department plan for a forced coup d'etat.
Mr Aljibury himself told Newsnight that he interviewed potential successors to Saddam Hussein on behalf of the Bush administration.
The industry-favoured plan was pushed aside by a secret plan, drafted just before the invasion in 2003, which called for the sell-off of all of
Iraq's oil fields. The new plan was crafted by neo-conservatives intent on using Iraq's oil to destroy the Opec cartel through massive increases
in production above Opec quotas.
The sell-off was given the green light in a secret meeting in London headed by Fadhil Chalabi shortly after the US entered Baghdad, according
to Robert Ebel.
Mr Ebel, a former Energy and CIA oil analyst, now a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, told Newsnight
he flew to the London meeting at the request of the State Department.
Mr Aljibury, once Ronald Reagan's "back-channel" to Saddam, claims that plans to sell off Iraq's oil, pushed by the US-installed Governing
Council in 2003, helped instigate the insurgency and attacks on US and British occupying forces.
"Insurgents used this, saying, 'Look, you're losing your country, you're losing your resources to a bunch of wealthy billionaires who want to
take you over and make your life miserable,'" said Mr Aljibury from his home near San Francisco.
"We saw an increase in the bombing of oil facilities, pipelines, built on the premise that privatisation is coming."
Philip Carroll, the former CEO of Shell Oil USA who took control of Iraq's oil production for the US Government a month after the invasion,
stalled the sell-off scheme.
Mr Carroll told us he made it clear to Paul Bremer, the US occupation chief who arrived in Iraq in May 2003, that: "There was to be no
privatisation of Iraqi oil resources or facilities while I was involved."
Ariel Cohen, of the neo-conservative Heritage Foundation, told Newsnight that an opportunity had been missed to privatise Iraq's oil fields.
He advocated the plan as a means to help the US defeat Opec, and said America should have gone ahead with what he called a "no-brainer"
decision.
Mr Carroll hit back, telling Newsnight, "I would agree with that statement. To privatize would be a no-brainer. It would only be thought about
by someone with no brain."

New plans, obtained from the State Department by Newsnight and Harper's Magazine under the US Freedom of Information Act, called for
creation of a state-owned oil company favoured by the US oil industry. It was completed in January 2004 under the guidance of Amy Jaffe of
the James Baker Institute in Texas.
Formerly US Secretary of State, Baker is now an attorney representing Exxon-Mobil and the Saudi Arabian government.
Questioned by Newsnight, Ms Jaffe said the oil industry prefers state control of Iraq's oil over a sell-off because it fears a repeat of Russia's
energy privatisation. In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, US oil companies were barred from bidding for the reserves.
Ms Jaffe says US oil companies are not warm to any plan that would undermine Opec and the current high oil price: "I'm not sure that if I'm
the chair of an American company, and you put me on a lie detector test, I would say high oil prices are bad for me or my company."
The former Shell oil boss agrees. In Houston, he told Newsnight: "Many neo conservatives are people who have certain ideological beliefs
about markets, about democracy, about this, that and the other. International oil companies, without exception, are very pragmatic
commercial organizations. They don't have a theology."
A State Department spokesman told Newsnight they intended "to provide all possibilities to the Oil Ministry of Iraq and advocate none". - BBC

• March 17, 2005 - Giuliani firm's deal to advise company raises questions.
"Giuliani Partners, the security consulting firm of former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, has signed a multimillion-
dollar deal with a struggling Los Angeles business backed by investors with a history of securities-related charges, regulatory records show.
The marketing partnership raises the question of how much Giuliani and his firm know about Applied DNA Sciences (APDN), a fast-rising
"penny stock," or a small company that trades for under $5 a share on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Giuliani's firm also stands to receive 21 million Applied shares, which would make it the largest shareholder of Applied. The shares were worth
$10 million when the agreement was signed.
Two securities lawyers say it's curious that Giuliani's firm signed a marketing deal with an ailing company backed by investors with regulatory
records.
Stephen Meagher, a San Francisco attorney and former federal prosecutor, says Applied's stock price has risen rapidly despite no profits or
solid business record.
After Applied first disclosed the Giuliani Partners deal in an SEC filing Nov. 10, Applied's shares leaped 268%, from 65 cents to $2.39 Dec. 7. It
closed at 97 cents Thursday.
"It has all the markings of something Giuliani himself would have looked into as U.S. attorney in the old days," Meagher says." - USA Today

• April 16, 2005 - One-Time GOP Insider Claims He Has Sept. 11 ‘Smoking Gun’, Architect of
GOP Resurgence Says Boeing 737, not 767, Struck South WTC Tower
"A former Republican Party insider turned Bush basher thinks he has stumbled across what may be the “smoking gun,” proving the U.S.
government’s official story about the WTC attacks is an “unequivocal lie.”
Karl Schwarz of Little Rock, Ark., who several years ago began exposing corruption amongst the neo-conservative movement in a book entitled
A One-Way Ticket to Crawford, Texas, now has set his sights on proving government complicity in 9-11.
For years, the successful business entrepreneur and conservative Republican, once asked by the RNC to run against Bill Clinton for Arkansas
governor, has been using his inside political and business clout to expose corruption among the neo-cons in the Bush administration.
He strayed away from the Bush agenda two years after being one of the lead orchestrators in the Republican Party takeover of Congress
during the Clinton administration.
After his political reawakening, Schwarz began blasting the neo-cons where it hurt most—in their pocketbooks—coming forward with evidence
regarding oil deals and government involvement with the Taliban and Pakistan.
In his book and his ongoing seven-part series of articles entitled “Pop Goes the Bush Mythology Bubble,” he provides inside information about
countless financial scams, essentially revealing that the Bush motive behind the Middle East invasion was more about oil profits than the war
on terrorism.
Saying the neo-cons within the government are destroying America for their own corporate-global benefits, Schwarz doesn’t mince words and
is calling for the impeachment of Bush, as well as removal of any member of Congress who aids and abets the corrupt powers.
Now, moving away from financial corruption, he has turned his attention to the 9-11 truth movement, saying he has found a piece of obscure
video footage that shows that the government lied about what type of plane struck the south tower of the WTC.
Schwarz admits he had a “whole lot” of luck when running across the video footage in a French foreign film entitled The Barbarian Invasion.
Contained in the film unrelated to 9-11, is a 1 minute, 52 second, video segment, shot by an unknown amateur photographer at the WTC,
which Schwartz says clearly shows a Boeing 737 airliner striking the south tower.
Originally, the government claimed the second jetliner en route to Los Angeles was a Boeing 767. However, Schwarz said the video will not
only show the airline dimensions to be those of a 737, but that he also has evidence that the engine recovered in the WTC wreckage was a
model type CFM56, which propels a 737, not a 767.
Besides 9-11, Schwartz said three major areas that need to be thoroughly investigated regarding the Bush administration’s present policies
include:
• Administration ties with Afghanistan, the Taliban and the Bridas Corp. Schwarz claims a high-ranking Bridas executive is one of his main
sources, implicating the Bush administration with corruption involving the Taliban and the Afghan invasion.

• Information implicating 9-11 commission members with direct and indirect financial benefits due to the Bush policies in the Middle East.
Asked how he would describe himself, since many critics may consider him a disgruntled Republican, he said:
“I am conservative, fiscally responsible, an ecumenical Christian and an American patriot who clearly understands fascism and clearly sees this
is exactly what is going on within the Bush administration.
“To answer my critics, they can say whatever. However, those who read my book will clearly see that the main problem now facing America
has been caused and amplified by the last three presidential administrations, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II.” - Arctic Beacon (04/16/05)

The paper reported that in recent letters to the government and to Brinkema, Moussaoui said he is willing to accept the
possibility of a death sentence. It said if the judge allows a guilty plea, she then likely would schedule a trial to determine a
sentence.
The Los Angeles Times reported in Tuesday's editions that the letter was sent two weeks ago and quoted unnamed sources
as saying Moussaoui's lawyers wanted his latest request thrown out, arguing that the letter is Moussaoui's naive attempt to
win a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court

• April 19, 2005 - Oklahoma City Bombing - Reporter's Notebook: An Explosive Story
"I remember coming to Oklahoma City soon after the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, as this country was still in shock
that this horrible tragedy was caused by some of our own.
Soon after, I gained exclusive access to Elohim City, a remote compound on the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma. As my crew and I entered
the white separatist compound, young, armed men stood guard at towers, carefully watching as we entered their grounds.
I realize now, 10 years later, there are still so many unanswered questions that need to be resolved once and for all. When Timothy McVeigh
wrote me his chilling letter soon before his execution in 2001, he said he alone carried out the bombing, that it was a military mission, and
that the 19 children who died in the daycare center in the Murrah building were "collateral damage."
But are only three men — McVeigh, convicted conspirator Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier, who was convicted for failing to warn anyone of the
crime and for lying to the FBI — really responsible for this crime?
I asked the leader of Elohim City years ago why someone using McVeigh's calling card, presumably McVeigh himself, called Elohim City right
around the time he was inquiring about a Ryder truck? Was it merely coincidence that two weeks before the bombing, a call comes to this
specific compound?
The leader smirked — I remember that smirk well — and would simply say to me that he believed McVeigh did call the camp.
Is it also just coincidence that this compound has some of the same leaders from an earlier hate-filled group that wanted to blow up the exact
same building in Oklahoma in 1985? These questions have troubled me as a journalist for 10 years now.
Plus, there's the fact that more than two dozen people, credible people, whom I have spoken with face-to-face, say they saw McVeigh with
someone else. Prosecutors say all these people are mistaken, that McVeigh was alone in the Ryder truck that fateful day." - FOX (04/19/05)
• April 19, 2005 - 10 years later, some seek more answers in bombing;
Oklahoma City survivors, victims' relatives question investigation's
conclusions
"Then there is this: a "Day of Truth" rally and speakers forum today and tomorrow, intended to give public airing to
the persistent belief among some that the bombing was part of a wider plot, involving other conspirators never caught
or brought to justice.
For the government and much of the country, the case of the Oklahoma City bombing ended with the arrest,
conviction and execution of Timothy J. McVeigh, an angry ex-soldier with extreme anti-government views, and the life sentences handed down
to his accomplice, Terry Nichols.
The prosecutors and government agents who worked the case and won convictions against those two men do not dignify the alternate theories
and conspiracy plots with responses. The case is solved and closed, they say.
But three lengthy trials and 10 years have not quieted the lingering questions of some survivors and intrigued observers. They still are
searching for the shadowy suspect John Doe No. 2 and gathering evidence they say could link McVeigh to Iraqi agents or a band of white
supremacist bank robbers.
"Some people have said we're obsessed with it. Maybe we are," said Charles Key, a former Oklahoma state legislator who is helping organize
the Day of Truth events. "I've said everything I can say about it for 10 years now. I think it's important. There's a lot of people who lost their

lives that day, and it would be terrible to remember the deaths of all those people with a lie."
So it is with the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City, where perceived gaps in the official investigation and pure grief have fueled questions for a
decade about whether McVeigh really could have carried out alone what still stands as the single worst act of domestic terror in the United
States.
Hamm began studying the Oklahoma City case within weeks of the bombing. In a book he wrote two years later, he generally reached the
same conclusion as the FBI about the crime - that McVeigh was a "lone wolf" who acted without the help of others. But later, as he studied a
group of prolific Midwest bank robbers known as the Aryan Republican Army, Hamm said he reached an alternate theory linking McVeigh to
that operation.
In his research, Hamm discovered four instances between 1993 and April 1995 when McVeigh and members of the Aryan Republican Army
were in the same small, often obscure, towns on the same days. He thinks McVeigh helped carry out the bank heists, and the crime ring
helped plot the federal building bombing - possibly in retaliation for the execution on the same day as the bombing of Richard Wayne Snell, a
leader in the white supremacist movement.
Why, after the FBI searched for weeks for a dark-haired suspect dubbed John Doe 2, did they change course and decide the artist's sketch was
based on one witness' faulty memory? Why doesn't the government simply release video surveillance tapes - beyond one grainy clip shown at
trial - that might reveal who, if anyone, was with McVeigh outside the federal building that morning?
When Lawton filed a request for the surveillance tapes under the Freedom of Information Act, he was told by the government that the tapes
existed, but could not be released. He says he does not understand why, with the trials over and McVeigh executed four years ago this spring.
Other, wilder questions persist. Some have asked whether McVeigh was an associate of the Iraq government or of al-Qaida, whether the
federal government blew up its own building or knew the explosion was going to happen.
Ivian "I.C." Smith, a retired FBI agent who worked the command center in the early days after the bombing, said flaws in the investigation,
such as the purported failure to account for John Doe 2, were left to take on a more sinister taint.
Unsatisfied with the official investigation, Lawton, Key and others, including two women who lost grandchildren in the blast, have tried to
pursue the answers themselves. They poured their own time and resources into tracking down witness statements and gathering records
through the Freedom of Information Act.
In recent months, U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, expressed interest in holding congressional hearings on the bombing
and subsequent federal investigation. But his plans got a cool reception from other House leaders and from former Oklahoma Gov. Frank
Keating, who cautioned that the panel could end up "looking silly."
The Day of Truth events planned for today and tomorrow are not included on the long list of formal memorial events, which includes a speech
today by Vice President Dick Cheney and a luncheon for survivors of the blast.
But Key said he hoped the alternate anniversary events could draw attention to the case. After so many years, he no longer expects to change
people's minds in a day.
"We hoped to have a gotcha, you know, or something - a smoking gun," Key said. "It took me awhile to figure out that we weren't ever going
to get that. And we never will. I'm resigning myself to that. There's never going to be headlines that say, 'They were right.' ... What happens
is, you just have to keep chipping away at it." - Baltimore Sun (04/19/05)

It seems implausible, he said, that the Pentagon was struck by Flight 77, since it is "surely the best defended building on the planet." The U.S.
military has the best radar systems in the world and "does not miss anything occurring in North American airspace," he added.
Griffin also made a case that the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings was brought on by thousands of explosives placed throughout
each of the buildings. They went straight down, at free-fall speed, as in controlled demolitions, and many people in the buildings reported that
they heard or felt explosions, he added.
"High-rise steel-frame buildings have never - before or after 9/11- been caused to collapse by fire," he said." - Capital Times (04/19/05)
"Mr. John-Paul Leonard, Joshua Tree, California, has submitted the following Shareholder Proposals:
With respect to Item 3 of the Agenda, Approval of the Actions of the Members of the Board of Management
Joshua Tree, 04/19/2005
I propose that approval not be granted.
With respect to Item 4 of the Agenda, Approval of the Actions of the Supervisory Board
I likewise propose that approval not be granted.
Reasoning:
The managing and supervisory boards have taken a passive attitude toward the insurance claims and the suspicious aspects of the WTC
insurance loss.
The investigation of insurance losses and insurance damage claims against the Company is naturally one of the chief duties of the
management of every insurance firm.
The WTC catastrophe was doubtless one of the biggest insurance incidents in history. A significant portion of the multi-billion dollar loss is
expected to be borne by Allianz.
Numerous observers and researchers find the WTC case very suspicious. For example, in a public opinion survey, 49.3% of respondents in New
York City agreed that "some of our leaders knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they
consciously failed to act." [Source: www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=855.]
When this belief is so widespread among unrelated parties, haven't the affected insurance companies ever asked whether perhaps the US
Government instead of the insurers is responsible for the damages, or whether the possibility of insurance fraud has been investigated?
From reports in the media about the trial in New York between the insurers and the insured WTC leaseholder, no sign of such motions has been
made public. The dispute has been mainly over the question, whether to pay out $7 billion or "only" $3 billion, whereby the shareholders are
supposed to be relieved at the latter sum as a victory of the "lesser of two evils."
Nor has there been any lack of critical and analytical voices in Germany. Several books in the last few years have posed sharp questions to the
official WTC scenario. In 2003, Deutsche Welle published an article entitled, "9/11 Conspiracy Theory Books Dominate Debate at Frankfurt
Book Fair."
(www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,1564,993523,00.html.)
Anyone who is interested can quickly obtain similar materials from the Internet free of charge, as well as continuing researches of the
background of 9/11 by independent journalists.
Two German-American writers, Jim Hoffman (www.wtc7.net) and Eric Hufschmid, have contributed greatly to the theory of the dynamiting of
the Twin Towers and Building WTC-7. Hufschmid's work was translated and published in German (www.painfulquestions.de). They claim that
never in history has the structure of a steel building ever been destroyed by fire, and that on the contrary, the evidence points to a controlled
demolition. I could find no evidence to gainsay their thesis anywhere.
WTC-7, as is well-known, was never struck by airplanes, and photographs of it show only insignificant fires
(www.globalresearch.ca.myforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=523). Nevertheless, the 47-story building at WTC 7 suddenly collapsed at around
17:28 on 9/11/2001. This fact was not even mentioned in the report of the official 9/11 commission. (www.9-
11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf)
How can an insurer take such an extreme case simply and casually as business as usual?
There is plenty more such evidence that would be useful in the billion-dollar lawsuit, which every citizen with an Internet connection can
confirm. Why aren't Allianz (and the other insurers) able to?
When the managing and supervisory boards take no action to join the investigation of a case as huge and notorious as the WTC, how are the
shareholders to know that other cases, too, for whatever reason, are not paid out without being properly investigated?
There is already a private lawsuit against US government officials in connection with the events of
9/11, see http://www.911forthetruth.com.
Position of the Company with respect to the Shareholder Proposals and Election Proposals:
The company considers the shareholder proposals and the election proposals to be unfounded.
Shareholder Proposals by John-Paul Leonard with respect to Item 3 (Approval of the Actions of the Members of the Board of Management) and
Item 4 (Approval of the Actions of the Members of the Supervisory Board) of the Agenda:
When the Company makes insurance payments it does so on the basis of careful scrutiny – especially with payments in the order of magnitude
referred to here. Two official commissions in the USA have examined the incidents of 11 September 2001 in detail. Their findings provided no
indication that the allegations submitted by the proposer are correct." - Allianz Group (04/20/05) [PDF]

• April 20, 2005 - Opinion (Letters to the Editor): 9/11 suspicions growing
"Millions of Americans have ventured to look skeptically at the official story of 9/11 and are now justifiably suspicious of complicity at the
highest levels of government. Parts of the official story that we are told about 9/11 appear to be a hoax.
To cite a single example, WTC7 was a 47 story steel structure located 355 feet from the closest of the twin towers. On September 11 at 5:20
p.m. WTC7 collapsed to the ground in free fall after small fires started on two of the floors. Firefighters were told to stand clear before the
collapse. The official account that fires caused the collapse remains unquestioned by the press. But the evidence suggests that the collapse
was caused by controlled demolition. The collapse of WTC7 is conspicuously omitted from the 9/11 Commission Report.
Examining the official account of 9/11 with due skepticism is painful, but ignoring evidence that refutes what officials and the media are telling
us is much worse. The first book to read is "The New Pearl Harbor," by David Ray Griffin. There are many other excellent books and Web sites
on this topic.

"Several people are now claiming that is not what happened at all. They claim that the plane that crashed was not a passenger jet at all, and
that it was all a plot to mislead the American people. Here's the nighteam's Patrick Fraser with his special report: "Pentagon Plot."

And now this one..it was not a passenger plan that crashed into The Pentagon on September 11th.
Scientist Dr. A.K. Dewdney: "I mean how much evidence do people need."
A.K. Dewdney is one of several scientists who have investigated the pentagon crash and concluded something devious and diabolical happened
that day.
Their proof...
They say a Boeing 757 was never found at The Pentagon, that only one engine was found and that engine does not seem to match the engine
from a 757, that airplane crashes leave wreckage, they mess up the ground -- Not at The Pentagon.
Patrick Fraser: "Dr. Dewdney you also wrote that the wings are missing from the crash site -- I thought they were incinerated in the enormous
blaze inside The Pentagon."
Dr. Dewdney: "The structure of the wings dictate that the wings should have sheared off. The fact that there is no wing debris outside the
building indicates it was not a 757 that struck the pentagon."
Another point the conspiracy buffs make -- the hole in the side of The Pentagon is too small for a 757 to fit thru. One web page even
superimposes a 757 onto the ground to prove its point.
Dr. Dewdney: "So all of this evidence is just sitting there waiting for people to examine it."
The conspiracy theories even claim to have video proof from a security camera outside The Pentagon as the plane neared the building -- they
claim the picture is not a 757.
But they are not certain what type of craft it is.
Dr. Dewdney: "The guesses vary from an F-16 loaded with a depleted uranium warhead -- possibly a cruise missile."
But if its a cruise missile, what happened to the plane and its passengers. Dr. Dewdney says they don't know, however they say they do know
who is behind the conspiracy.
Dewdney says all the September 11th attacks were planned or allowed to happen to fuel a war with terrorists and as an excuse to invade and
gain control of the oil in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dr. Dewdney: "If we are right the implications are profound."
Right or right off the wacko chart, common sense tells you its not likely. In fact common sense tells you its not only outrageous -- its ridiculous
and one well known skeptic has another description for it -- laughable.
James Randi from the Randi Educational Foundation: "Come on, in order to do a thing like that you would have to have a conspiracy that
would involve thousands of people...all of whom would have to be completely silent. Now that's impossible to do."
We showed James Randi the claims of Dewdney's scientific group, and he countered each one -- beginning with the hole in The Pentagon.
James Randi: "Now the hole isn't big enough. Oh I see now you know how big the hole should be do you? No, that's data that we simply don't
have."
As for those missing wings -- easy to explain Randi says.
James Randi: "That the fuselage penetrates the brick wall and the wings fold back just like an umbrella."
Finally the people who helped Dewdney research his theories are all well educated, very intelligent people which Randi says proves one more
thing.
James Randi: "Well-educated intelligent people doesn't mean smart people."
Dewdney's reply -- prove him wrong.
Dr. Dewdney: "By all means get in touch with us none of us want to spend our time doing this if we are just wasting our time if we are wrong."
And even if he is wrong, a few people may believe him -- but a few million won't.
By the way we spoke with The Pentagon about the conspiracy theory, and they said, "it's so ridiculous, we don't even address it." - 7 News

"Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, star of a new flick about the aftermath of 9/11, believes the United States "is responsible in
some way" for the devastating terror attacks.
Gyllenhaal, 27, made the comments at the Tribeca Film Festival, where her new movie "The Great New Wonderful" - which
has a plot centered on the destruction of the World Trade Center - premiered Friday.
"I think what's good about the movie is that it deals with 9/11 in such a subtle, open way that I think it allows it to be more
complicated than just, 'Oh, look at these poor New Yorkers and how hard it was for them,'" Gyllenhaal told the NY1 cable

• April 26, 2005 - World Terror Attacks Tripled in 2004 by U.S. Count
"The U.S. count of major world terrorist attacks more than tripled in 2004, a rise that may revive debate on whether the Bush administration
is winning the war on terrorism, congressional aides said on Tuesday.
The number of "significant" international terrorist attacks rose to about 650 last year from about 175 in 2003, according to congressional aides
briefed on the numbers by State Department and intelligence officials on Monday.
The State Department last year initially released erroneous figures that understated the attacks and casualties in 2003 and used the figures to
argue that the Bush administration was prevailing in the war on terrorism.
It later said the number of people killed and injured in 2003 was more than double its original count and said "significant" terrorist attacks —
those that kill or seriously injure someone, cause more than $10,000 in damage or attempt to do either of those things — rose to a 20-year
high of 175.
The State Department last week unleashed a new debate about the numbers by saying it would no longer release them in its annual terrorism
report but that the newly created National Counterterrorism Center that compiles the data would do so." - ABC (04/26/05)
• April 26, 2005 - Gallup: 50% of Americans Now Say Bush Deliberately Misled Them on WMDs
"Half of all Americans, exactly 50%, now say the Bush administration deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction, the Gallup Organization reported this morning.
"This is the highest percentage that Gallup has found on this measure since the question was first asked in late May 2003," the pollsters
observed. "At that time, 31% said the administration deliberately misled Americans. This sentiment has gradually increased over time, to 39%
in July 2003, 43% in January/February 2004, and 47% in October 2004."
Also, according to the latest poll, more than half of Americans, 54%, disapprove of the way President Bush is handling the situation in Iraq,
while 43% approve. In early February, Americans were more evenly divided on the way Bush was handling the situation in Iraq, with 50%
approving and 48% disapproving.
Last week Gallup reported that 53% now believe that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was "not worth it." But Frank Newport, editor in chief at Gallup,
recalled today that although a majority of the public began to think the Vietnam war was a mistake in the summer of 1968, the United States
did not pull out of Vietnam for more than five years, after thousands of more American lives were lost." - Editor and Publisher (04/26/05)

• April 27, 2005 - Terror Suspect Takes Stand in 9/11 Trial, Shot Video of Twin Towers
"A terror suspect who allegedly shot detailed video footage of the World Trade Center images described by a Spanish judge as the genesis of
the Sept. 11 plots took the stand Wednesday at the trial of an al-Qaida cell accused of helping to plot the suicide airliner attacks.
Ghasoub al-Abrash Ghalyoun, 39, took video of the twin towers in New York and other landmarks during a visit to the United States in 1997,
court documents say.
The videotapes eventually were passed on to "operative members of al-Qaida and would become the preliminary information on the attacks
against the twin towers," Judge Baltasar Garzon wrote in a September 2003 indictment against the Syrian-born Ghalyoun and other alleged
members of a Spanish al-Qaida cell.
Ghalyoun and two other suspects are charged with using Spain as a staging ground to help plot the attacks.
Twenty-one other suspects are charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, weapons possession and other offenses, but not planning
the Sept. 11 attacks.
The alleged leader of the cell, Imad Yarkas, testified this week that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He also denied setting up a meeting
in Spain in July 2001 at which one of the suspected suicide pilots and an alleged coordinator of the attacks planned last-minute details." - ABC

• May 13, 2005 - Afghan 'pipe dream' draws closer to reality; Afghan President Hamid Karzai
told donor countries the project was a "top priority."
"Back in the days of the Taliban, Mir Sediq was an engineer for Unocal, working on a pipe dream: bringing natural gas from Turkmenistan
down through Afghanistan to Pakistani ports on the Arabian Sea.
Today, Mr. Sediq is minister for Afghanistan's energy, mining, and industrial sector, and he's confident that the pipeline is coming close to
reality.
Driven by a Pakistani economy growing at nearly 7 percent a year and higher energy prices, the pipeline, on paper, is the closest thing to a
win-win scenario as one can find in Central Asia. For Pakistan, expected to run out of its own reserves in five years, the pipeline will help
sustain growth. For Turkmenistan, it helps to provide a market for its substantial gas reserves. And for Afghanistan, it could mean from $200
million to $350 million per year in transit fees.
"This pipeline is an opportunity for Afghanistan, and we would like to keep Afghanistan a place that is open and attractive for foreign
investment," says Sediq. "The foreign investment rate of return is 17.5 percent, based on the assumptions that the gas reserves in
Turkmenistan are enough and the consumption rate in Pakistan remains high. Only security of the pipeline is left, and the government of
Afghanistan is capable of providing security."
It wasn't so long ago that the pipeline was thought to be dead. Taliban attacks in the south appeared to be on the increase, and other sources
of energy, such as Iran or Qatar, were more attractive. But growing Pakistani demand, increased Afghan stability, and higher energy prices for
Turkmenistan have made the pipeline increasingly feasible. This week, President Hamid Karzai told donor countries the project was a top
priority - on a par with the war on terror and opium eradication.
If started Today, the pipeline could be completed in seven years. That comes two years too late for Pakistan, which is running out of reserves.
While Pakistan has doubled its energy output since 1999 - to 4 billion cubic feet per day - its roaring economy is expected to deplete gas
reserves by 2010. By 2015, it will need to buy 2.5 billion cubic feet per day from abroad.
In all likelihood, Pakistan will need more than one pipeline project. Pakistan is negotiating with Qatar and Iran over separate projects. The
Qatari pipeline is the most politically stable, but it has technical problems. The Iranian pipeline - which would distribute gas to both India and
Pakistan - is technically the simplest. But it faces substantial US opposition, as US law precludes giving a government contract to a US
company doing business with Indian or Pakistani firms working on the Iranian pipeline. Both India and Pakistan are so desperate to find gas
that they are working together as joint customers on the Iranian pipeline.
The TAP pipeline is expected to cost $3.8 billion, and create hundreds if not thousands of jobs for Afghans. Afghan officials say that it might be
one of the first projects to generate revenue for the state." - Christian Science Monitor (05/13/05)

• May 23, 2005 - Dr. A.K. Dewdney of Physics911.net talks about the Flight 77/Pentagon
conspiracy on a local news station.
Pentagon Plot
"Several people are now claiming that is not what happened at all. They claim that the plane that crashed was not a passenger jet at all, and
that it was all a plot to mislead the American people. Here's the nighteam's Patrick Fraser with his special report: "Pentagon Plot."
We never put a man on the moon, these pictures were taken in the Nevada desert the conspiracy theories claimed...
President Kennedy was not shot just by Lee Harvey Oswald. The CIA was involved...
And now this one..it was not a passenger plan that crashed into The Pentagon on September 11th.
Scientist Dr. A.K. Dewdney: "I mean how much evidence do people need."
A.K. Dewdney is one of several scientists who have investigated the pentagon crash and concluded something devious and diabolical happened
that day.
They say a Boeing 757 was never found at The Pentagon, that only one engine was found and that engine does not seem to match the engine
from a 757, that airplane crashes leave wreckage, they mess up the ground -- Not at The Pentagon.
Patrick Fraser: "Dr. Dewdney you also wrote that the wings are missing from the crash site -- I thought they were incinerated in the enormous
blaze inside The Pentagon."
Dr. Dewdney: "The structure of the wings dictate that the wings should have sheared off. The fact that there is no wing debris outside the
building indicates it was not a 757 that struck the pentagon."
Another point the conspiracy buffs make -- the hole in the side of The Pentagon is too small for a 757 to fit thru. One web page even
superimposes a 757 onto the ground to prove its point.
Dr. Dewdney: "So all of this evidence is just sitting there waiting for people to examine it."
The conspiracy theories even claim to have video proof from a security camera outside The Pentagon as the plane neared the building -- they
claim the picture is not a 757.
But they are not certain what type of craft it is.
Dr.Dewdney: "The guesses vary from an F-16 loaded with a depleted uranium warhead -- possibly a cruise missile."
But if its a cruise missile, what happened to the plane and its passengers. Dr. Dewdney says they don't know, however they say they do know
who is behind the conspiracy.
Dewdney says all the September 11th attacks were planned or allowed to happen to fuel a war with terrorists and as an excuse to invade and
gain control of the oil in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dr. Dewdney: "If we are right the implications are profound."
Right or right off the wacko chart, common sense tells you its not likely. In fact common sense tells you its not only outrageous -- its ridiculous
and one well known skeptic has another description for it -- laughable.
James Randi from the Randi Educational Foundation: "Come on, in order to do a thing like that you would have to have a conspiracy that
would involve thousands of people..all of whom would have to be completely silent. Now thats impossible to do."
We showed James Randi the claims of Dewdney's scientific group, and he countered each one -- beginning with the hole in The Pentagon.
James Randi: "Now the hole isnt big enough. Oh I see now you know how big the hole should be do you? No, that's data that we simply don't
have."
As for those missing wings -- easy to explain Randi says.
James Randi: "That the fuselage penetrates the brick wall and the wings fold back just like an umbrella."
Finally the people who helped Dewdney research his theories are all well educated, very intelligent people which Randi says proves one more
thing.
James Randi: "Well-educated intelligent people doesn't mean smart people."
Dewdney's reply -- prove him wrong.
Dr. Dewdney: "By all means get in touch with us none of us want to spend our time doing this if we are just wasting our time if we are wrong."

• June 9, 2005 - "A Personal Decision," by Kevin Ryan, former Underwriters Laboratories
manager and 9/11 whistle blower.
"Have you ever found yourself caught between several hundred million people and their most cherished lies? After writing a letter to a
government scientist, pleading with him to clarify a report of his work, I found myself in just that situation. The letter was circulated on the
internet and for a brief time I became a reluctant celebrity. Of course I stand behind what I wrote, although it was originally intended as a
personal message, not an open letter. Since many have asked for clarification, here is my message to all.
To me, the report in question represents a decision point, not just for the US, but for humanity as a whole. We’re at a point where we must
decide if we will live consciously, or literally give up our entire reality for a thin veneer of lies. In the US these lies include cheap propaganda
that passes for journalism, police-state measures that promise security, and mountains of debt that paint a picture of wealth. Additionally
we’ve adopted many implicit self-deceptions, like the idea that we’ll always enjoy a limitless share of the world’s resources, no matter where
these are located or who might disagree.
The official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is a key part of our current self-deception. More importantly, this story may be our last chance to see
just how critical our situation is so that we can all stop, and begin working together to solve the real problems we face.
Anyone who honestly looks at the evidence has difficulty finding anything in the official story of 9/11 that is believable. It’s not just one or two
strange twists or holes in the story, the whole thing is bogus from start to end.[3] In my previous job I was in a position to question one part,
the collapse of three tall buildings due to fire. But this isn’t really a chemistry or engineering problem, and may be best approached initially
through statistics.
The three WTC buildings in question weren’t all designed the same way and weren’t all hit by airplanes. The only thing they seemed to have in
common were relatively small and manageable fires, as indicated by the work of firefighters right up to the moment of collapse. From the
government’s report we know that only a small percentage of the supporting columns in each of the first two buildings were severed, and that

the jet fuel burned off in just a few minutes.
To follow the latest “leading hypothesis”, what are the odds that all the fireproofing fell off in just the right places, even far from the point of
impact? Without much test data, let’s say it’s one in a thousand. And what are the odds that the office furnishings converged to supply highly
directed and (somehow) forced-oxygen fires at very precise points on the remaining columns? Is it another one in a thousand? What is the
chance that those points would then all soften in unison, and give way perfectly, so that the highly dubious “progressive global collapse” theory
could be born? I wouldn’t even care to guess. But finally, with well over a hundred fires in tall buildings through history, what are the chances
that the first, second and third incidents of fire-induced collapse would all occur on the same day? Let’s say it’s one in a million. Considering
just these few points we’re looking at a one in a trillion chance, using generous estimates and not really considering the third building (no
plane, no jet fuel, different construction)." - Scoop (06/09/05)

thinks 9/11 was an inside job.
"A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World
Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term
Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more likely that a
controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7. Reynolds, who also served as director of the
Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor emeritus at Texas A&M
University said, "If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a
government attack on America would be compelling." Reynolds commented from his Texas A&M office, "It is hard to exaggerate the
importance of a scientific debate over the cause of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. If the official wisdom on the collapses is
wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct either. The government's collapse
theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the
collapse of the three buildings." - Washington Times (06/13/05)

• June 14, 2005 - FBI worked hard to cover up a 9-11 cover-up—and then hide it some more,
alleged 9/11 hijacker rented room from an FBI informant.
"It's no secret the FBI let at least two 9-11 hijackers—Hazmi and Mihdhar—slip through its fingers when they landed in California in 2000 and
proceeded to live openly under their own names in San Diego before moving into position for the attack. What makes the situation especially
ludicrous is that one of these hijackers rented a room from a San Diego landlord who was an FBI informant on the Muslim community.
That's bad enough. But after 9-11, when the Joint Congressional Intelligence Committee found out what had been going on, the FBI refused to
allow the informant to be interviewed by the committee staff or to testify.
The FBI actually took steps to hide this man so Congress could not find him. All this is described at some length in former senator Bob
Graham's book Intelligence Matters—the one book on this entire affair written by an actual participant in the behind-the-scenes wheeling and
dealing over what was permitted to come into public view about 9-11. Graham was chairman of the joint congressional investigation.
To resolve the informant question, Graham writes, he met with Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI director Robert Mueller, and other top
officials. But when he tried to serve a subpoena on one top FBI official, the man shrank away and would not take the piece of paper. In the
end, Graham says, he discovered that the FBI was taking its hard line on the informant on orders from the White House.
Now comes the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General with a lengthy description of the FBI's relationship with the landlord asset.
Like the congressional committee, the inspector general did not interview the landlord, but relies on secondhand information gathered from
FBI agents. The landlord no longer works for the Bureau. The inspector general reports, "In July 2003 the asset was given a $100,000
payment and closed as an asset."
It is interesting to note that the 9-11 Commission was formed in late 2002. The Joint Congressional Inquiry, which discovered the landlord's
existence and sought unsuccessfully to question him, issued its final report July 24, 2003." - Village Voice (06/14/05)

Rep. McKinney (D-GA) - The 9/11 Commission Report One Year Later: A Citizens’ Response – Did They Get It Right? (07/22/05)
• July 23, 2005 - McKinney reopens 9/11, Conspiracy theories implicating president
aired at 8-hour hearing
"Revisiting the issue that helped spur her ouster from Congress three years ago, Rep. Cynthia McKinney led a Capitol Hill
hearing Friday on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The eight-hour hearing, timed to mark the first anniversary of the release of the Sept. 11 commission's report on the
attacks, drew dozens of contrarians and conspiracy theorists who suggest President Bush purposely ignored warnings or may
even have had a hand in the attack - claims participants said the commission ignored.
"The commission's report was not a rush to judgment, it was a rush to exoneration," said John Judge, a member of
McKinney's staff and a representative of a Web site dedicated to raising questions about the Sept. 11 commission's report.
The White House and the commission have dismissed such questions as unfounded conspiracy theories.
McKinney first raised questions about Bush's involvement shortly after the attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, generating a
furious response from fellow Democrats in Washington and voters in Georgia, who ousted her in 2002.
"What we are doing is asking the unanswered questions of the 9/11 families," McKinney, a DeKalb County Democrat who won back her seat in
2004, said during the proceedings.
She rebuffed a reporter's repeated attempts to ask her why she would so boldly embrace the same claims that led to her downfall.
"Congresswoman McKinney is viewed as a contrarian," panelist Melvin Goodman, a former CIA official, said. "And I hope someday her views
will be considered conventional wisdom."
Though she left the testimony and questioning of panelists to others, McKinney was the main attraction, presiding over more than two dozen
participants, including the author of a book that claims the U.S. government had advance knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack and allowed it
to happen, and Peter Dale Scott, who wrote three books on President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Nearly a dozen 9/11 enthusiasts lined one side of the room, camcorders at the ready, broadcasting the hearing live over the Internet or
recording it for later release. C-SPAN cameras documented the hearing, and a DVD recording of the proceedings will soon be available.
Ten people sat in a section reserved for family members of 9/11 victims.
"Nine-eleven could have been prevented," said Marilyn Rosenthal, a University of Michigan professor who lost a son in the attacks, echoing the
premise of the hearing.
Panelists maintained that Bush ignored numerous warnings from the CIA, the Federal Aviation Administration, foreign governments and others
who told him before 9/11 that Osama bin Laden was planning to attack the United States and that terrorists were likely to use hijacked
airliners as weapons.
But why would the president or his administration want the 9/11 attacks to occur? Power, the panelists agreed.
In the wake of the attacks, the administration was able to greatly expand the president's power and the reach of the federal government, they
said, but whistle-blowers and other potential witnesses who could have testified to the Sept. 11 commission about such things were either
prevented from speaking or ignored in the commission's final report. Panelists called the commission's report "a cover-up."
"The American people have been seriously misled," said Scott." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution (07/23/05) [Reprinted at: 9/11 Blogger.com]

• August 4, 2005 - Osama bin Laden's No. 2 man in al Qaeda, Ayman al-
Zawahiri, has threatened more attacks in the UK and U.S.
"Osama bin Laden's No. 2 man in al Qaeda has threatened more destruction in London, saying that British Prime
Minister Tony Blair would be to blame.
In a video broadcast Thursday on Arabic-language TV station Al Jazeera Ayman al-Zawahiri also issued a warning
for the United States.
Al-Zawahiri, a 54-year-old Egyptian doctor, is bin Laden's closest adviser. After the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed nearly 3,000
people, the U.S. State Department offered a $25 million award for information leading to al-Zawahiri's apprehension.
In the video, al-Zawahiri also issued several warnings for the United States.
He also warned the United States to "stop stealing our oil and wealth and stop supporting corrupt rulers."
Al-Zawahiri reminded the United States and its allies of the "hudna" (truce) that bin Laden offered last year in return for the withdrawal of
foreign troops from Muslim lands.
A U.S. intelligence official told CNN the video was being analyzed, but quickly pointed out that "there has never been a false tape" from al-
Zawahiri.
Another U.S. official did not read much into the fact that al-Zawahiri and not bin Laden made the videotape. The official said there have been
few videotapes of bin Laden since the September 11 attacks, and most of the time it has been hard to determine when the tapes were made
because there is either no audio or the message did not contain any timely references.
The last time bin Laden released a statement was in an audiotape late last December when he praised Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and designated
him the al Qaeda leader in Iraq.
Al-Zawahiri made no mention of the July 23 bombings in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh that killed at least 83 people and injured
more than 200 others, which could indicate the tape was made before that date." - CNN (08/04/05)

"A high Qaeda official in American custody was identified as a likely fabricator months before the Bush administration began to use his
statements as the foundation for its claims that Iraq trained Al Qaeda members to use biological and chemical weapons, according to newly
declassified portions of a Defense Intelligence Agency document.
The document, an intelligence report from February 2002, said it was probable that the prisoner, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, "was intentionally
misleading the debriefers" in making claims about Iraqi support for Al Qaeda's work with illicit weapons.
The document provides the earliest and strongest indication of doubts voiced by American intelligence agencies about Mr. Libi's credibility.
Without mentioning him by name, President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Colin L. Powell, then secretary of state, and other
administration officials repeatedly cited Mr. Libi's information as "credible" evidence that Iraq was training Al Qaeda members in the use of
explosives and illicit weapons." - NY Times (11/06/05)

Previous investigations, including those of FEMA, the 9/11 Commission and NIST (the National Institutes of Standards and Technology), ignore
the physics and chemistry of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, to the Twin Towers and the 47-story building known as WTC 7, he says. The
official explanation — that fires caused structural damage that caused the buildings to collapse — can't be backed up by either testing or
history, he says.
Jones acknowledges that there have been "junk science" conspiracy theories about what happened on 9/11, but "the explosive demolition
hypothesis better satisfies tests of repeatability and parsimony and therefore is not 'junk science.' "
In a 9,000-word article that Jones says will be published in the book "The Hidden History of 9/11," by Elsevier, Jones offers these arguments:
• The three buildings collapsed nearly symmetrically, falling down into their footprints, a phenomenon associated with "controlled demolition"
— and even then it's very difficult, he says. "Why would terrorists undertake straight-down collapses of WTC-7 and the Towers when 'toppling
over' falls would require much less work and would do much more damage in downtown Manhattan?" Jones asks. "And where would they
obtain the necessary skills and access to the buildings for a symmetrical implosion anyway? The 'symmetry data' emphasized here, along with
other data, provide strong evidence for an 'inside' job."
• No steel-frame building, before or after the WTC buildings, has ever collapsed due to fire. But explosives can effectively sever steel columns,
he says.
• WTC 7, which was not hit by hijacked planes, collapsed in 6.6 seconds, just .6 of a second longer than it would take an object dropped from
the roof to hit the ground. "Where is the delay that must be expected due to conservation of momentum, one of the foundational laws of
physics?" he asks. "That is, as upper-falling floors strike lower floors — and intact steel support columns — the fall must be significantly
impeded by the impacted mass. . . . How do the upper floors fall so quickly, then, and still conserve momentum in the collapsing buildings?"
The paradox, he says, "is easily resolved by the explosive demolition hypothesis, whereby explosives quickly removed lower-floor material,
including steel support columns, and allow near free-fall-speed collapses." These observations were not analyzed by FEMA, NIST nor the 9/11
Commission, he says.
• With non-explosive-caused collapse there would typically be a piling up of shattering concrete. But most of the material in the towers was
converted to flour-like powder while the buildings were falling, he says. "How can we understand this strange behavior, without explosives?
Remarkable, amazing — and demanding scrutiny since the U.S. government-funded reports failed to analyze this phenomenon."
• Horizontal puffs of smoke, known as squibs, were observed proceeding up the side the building, a phenomenon common when pre-
positioned explosives are used to demolish buildings, he says.
• Steel supports were "partly evaporated," but it would require temperatures near 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to evaporate steel — and neither
office materials nor diesel fuel can generate temperatures that hot. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few
minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location, he says.
• Molten metal found in the debris of the World Trade Center may have been the result of a high-temperature reaction of a commonly used
explosive such as thermite, he says. Buildings not felled by explosives "have insufficient directed energy to result in melting of large quantities
of metal," Jones says.
• Multiple loud explosions in rapid sequence were reported by numerous observers in and near the towers, and these explosions occurred far
below the region where the planes struck, he says.
Jones says he would like the government to release 6,899 photographs and 6,977 segments of video footage for "independent scrutiny." He
would also like to analyze a small sample of the molten metal found at Ground Zero." - Deseret News Utah (11/10/05)

• November 14, 2005 - BYU physics professor Steven E. Jones calls for a new 9/11
investigation after believing bombs, not planes, brought down the three WTC
towers.
Prof. calls for 9/11 investigation
"BYU Physics Professor Steven E. Jones doesn't look like a conspiracy theorist.
But now, what he will try to tell you, in his quiet, confident way, is that official explanations of what happened on Sept. 11 —
that the World Trade Center buildings collapsed from damage and superheated fires — are shaky, if not unscientific.
"It just does not add up," says Jones, referring specifically to the 47-story building known as WTC 7. "It doesn't add up that this [collapse] was
caused by planes hitting the other buildings."
Jones, who studies fusion and solar energy at BYU, has lately turned his attention to Sept. 11 research and has turned more than a few heads
in the process.
In a paper posted online Tuesday, Jones suggests that "pre-positioned explosives," not planes, were what brought down the three World Trade
Center buildings — the two Twin Towers and WTC 7. Jones' article, which has been accepted for peer-reviewed publication next year, can be
found at www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html.
"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes — which were actually a
diversion tactic," he writes in his article. "Muslims are (probably) not to blame after all."
Jones says previous government investigations, including those by FEMA, the 9/11 Commission and NIST (the National Institutes of Standards
and Technology), failed to address even the possibility of pre-planted explosives. This, despite the fact that WTC 7 wasn't even hit by a plane
and that fire damage has never brought down a steel building before or since Sept. 11, he says.
"[WTC 7] is the most mysterious collapse and it does suggest an inside job," Jones says. "If the explosive hypothesis…" He corrects himself: "If
the explosive demolition hypothesis — it is rather explosive — if this hypothesis is correct, that would imply an inside job because to bring a
building down symmetrically using explosives … takes a lot of planning."
He mentions a few lesser-known details about the Sept. 11 attacks, appending little comments like "and that's a fact" or "and that's on tape"
at several points along the way:
- Larry Silverstein, WTC leaseholder, insured the buildings against terrorist attack for billions of dollars less than two months before Sept. 11,
Jones says.
- The towers were loaded with asbestos — "not anymore," Jones adds, "but they were. There was discussion for a long time: 'We've got to
either get rid of the asbestos in these buildings or take them down and start over.'"
- In the aftermath of the buildings' collapse, Silverstein said of WTC 7, "We decided to pull it." Jones says "pull" is a common demolition term.
"To pull a building means you initiate the demolition."
- Much of the steel from the collapsed towers was shipped to Asia for recycling, Jones says. "This was done over the objections of serious
scientists and engineers, saying, 'Look, you're destroying evidence. We want to know how fire and damage could have possibly caused these
buildings to collapse.'"

"You didn't know that, did you?" Jones says. He leans back farther in his chair. "We need an investigation," he says again.
At this Jones swivels his chair around to face the computer, accesses his paper online, and brings up several video clips of WTC 7's collapse.
One clip is from the CBS Evening News. You watch the 47-story tower tremble, dip slightly in the middle, then drop beneath the cityscape. You
hear Dan Rather's distinctive voice: "It's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen of buildings that are deliberately destroyed by well-placed
dynamite …"
Jones replays the clip. "That's a perfect demolition," he says. "It's just what they shoot for. Middle goes down, they pull the core supports, the
sides lean in, and then it goes straight down at near free-fall speed.
"And again, I'm not saying this proves it," he adds. "There's just a lot of evidence, and so it needs to be investigated."
Now Jones shows a different clip, from a different angle. The building trembles, dips, falls again.
"See that fall?" Jones says. "It's symmetric. Notice it dips in the middle. Did you see that? It dips in the middle first, which implies that the
core supports there in the middle were pulled before the other supports. And that's common for demolition."
In his paper, Jones says the Twin Towers dipped in a similar way. He includes video footage of the north tower's antenna dropping some 10
feet before the rest of the tower begins to move.
Given the implications of Jones' research, the professor says he was extra careful in preparing it. He stresses how the paper was peer-
reviewed and then explains something of that rigorous, anonymous process.
He also mentions the seminar he gave — on Sept. 22, as it happened — to a group of colleagues from the BYU Physics and Astronomy
Department. It was a sort of dry-run test for how his research would be received, a final behind-closed-doors check before he went public with
his provocative suggestions.
After the seminar, all but one of Jones' colleagues said they agreed an investigation was in order, Jones says. And the lone dissenter, physics
professor Harold Stokes, came around the next day." - BYU NewsNet (11/14/05)

writes in a paper available on the BYU website. "Clearly, we must find out what really caused the WTC skyscrapers to collapse as they did."
When one of my producers first told me about him, my first thought was: Stephen Jones is insane. And he may be. On the other hand, he
does have a legitimate job and a responsible-sounding title. He's not living in the park, or writing me letters in crayon. How crazy could he
really be? In the interest of open-mindedness, we booked him.
That was probably a mistake. Talking about 9-11 is a lot like discussing someone else's religion: You can do it, but you've got to tread
carefully. Most of the time, it's best to stick to platitudes and move on. The subject is still too raw for debate, particularly here in the New York
area. (The little town where I live lost six people on September 11th; the town next door lost more than 20.) Professor Jones wasn't up to the
job. If you saw last night's show, you know what an uncomfortable six minutes it was. If not, I'll summarize: Jones was almost totally
incapable of explaining his own ideas. By the end of the interview I understood no more about his hypothesis than when it began. He was an
epically bad guest.
Yet - and here's the interesting part - he seemed to connect with a huge number of viewers. Some who e-mailed were offended that Jones
would dare question the official version of 9-11. Some were confused by what he was trying to say. But the overwhelming majority wrote to
thank me for my "courage" in putting him on, and to complain that we didn't give him more time to explain the conspiracy.
In other words, a lot of people seem to think it's possible that the U.S. government had a hand in bringing down the World Trade Center
buildings.
Ponder that for a second: The U.S. government killed more than 3,000 of its own citizens. For no obvious reason. Then lied about it. Then
invaded two other countries, killing thousands of their citizens as punishment for a crime they didn't commit.
If you really thought this - or even considered it a possibility - how could you continue to live here? You couldn't. You'd leave the United States
on the next available flight and not come back. You'd have no choice. Continuing to pay taxes to a government capable of something so evil
would make you complicit in the crime.
So of course most of the people who wrote to say they think the government might have been behind 9-11 don't really think the government
might have been behind 9-11. For whatever reason, they just like to say so. Which as far as I'm concerned makes them phony and
irresponsible.
Incidentally, we still have an open mind here on the Situation, even after Professor Stephen Jones. So if evidence ever does arise that the
government lied substantially about what happened on September 11th, we'll be on it immediately. I promise." - MSNBC (11/16/05)
Madonna: "9/11 was too ambiguous," she tells the magazine. "You couldn't prove how the government was somehow in on the deal. There
were too many arguments against it. You could say, 'Oh, that's just Michael Moore,' 'Oh, that's just hearsay.' New Orleans was undeniable
irresponsibility." - People (11/16/05)
