Notable Quotes

"The almost complete lack of military response to the September 11th attacks has never been adequately explained. In fact, in their book Without Precedent, 9/11 Commission Chair Thomas Kean and Vice-Chair Lee Hamilton, say that the discrepancies that were presented to them by the U.S. military have never been resolved. Thomas Kean has been quoted as saying “We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," ... "It was just so far from the truth. . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."

Six years post 9/11, and two wars later, it is time for the U.S. Military’s response, and all of the unanswered questions relating to the attacks of September 11, 2001, to be fully investigated using ALL of the available evidence. We need to explore why established protocols and procedures were not followed on 9/11, and if we are still at risk. With an event of this magnitude, there should be no loose ends."

- Lorie Van Auken, widow of Kenneth Van Auken and one of the "Jersey girls"

"The murder of almost 3000 people, destruction of millions of dollars worth of property, and the subsequent environmental degradation impacting tens of thousands of New York City residents and and workers remains largely unexplained, and consequently, improperly remedied. An objective, independent and accountable scientific investigation of 9-11 has yet to be conducted. In a country endlessly fascinated with crime scene analysis and possible misuse of power and wealth, one wonders why this -- the crime of the century -- is rapidly becoming a cold case. This petition to establish an independent investigation of 9-11 and its environmental aftermath is a small but critical step towards understanding, healing and justice for the people of NYC, and the rest of the nation."

- Karen Kwiatkowski, retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel

"On 9/11/2001 I lost my son who was employed at Cantor Fitzgerald. A bi-Partisan committee was established to investigate the failures and occurrences that led up to that horrendous morning.

The JICI released a report in December of 2002 . In that report it identified who funded the hijackers (28 Pages) Our Government classified that information immediately.

It is hard to swallow that many of our elected officials know who funded 9/11 and we do not.

Seeing that we have a war on terror wouldn't it be prudent to hold those funders accountable for 9/11. Their is a huge lawsuit against the financiers of 9/11 but our Government is protecting them.

Seeing that their identities are being withheld and given a fee reign it wouldn't surprise me in the least they are still funding the terrorism today.

If a Mafia Chief employs a person to hit someone and that person is caught.The triggerman is held accountable and the financier as well. What's different ??"

"Polls show that 36% of Americans and more than half of New Yorkers lack confidence in the veracity of the 9/11 Commission Report. We desperately need
to learn the truth about 9/11 before it happens again and takes away our remaining liberty."

- Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan

"9/11 was not a perfect storm. Don't let them tell you it was. Create a Commission."

- Ed Asner, actor, former president Screen Actors Guild

Large parts of the official U.S. Government story of what happened on September 11, 2001 are almost certainly lies. Tragically, the entire course of U.S. foreign and domestic policies since that date has grown out of these falsehoods.

These are my personal judgments, but they are the very questions on which members of the investigating commission now being organized by the New York City 9/11 Ballot Initiative must make their own judgments. Each commission member must be strong enough to maintain his or her independence from U.S. official positions. It is extremely important that the commission investigate with highest priority, and publicly report its findings in detail about, the numerous charges that unknown elements within the U.S. government, and possibly some individuals elsewhere closely allied to the U.S., caused or contributed to causing the events of September 11 to happen.
