Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry Into 9/11 Calls for a New 9/11 Investigation

September 13, 2011

The Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, previously stated that an FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House (confirmed here).

Today, Graham called for a new 9/11 investigation. As Raw Story notes:

Graham on Monday called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation into 9/11 after a report found that links between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers were never disclosed by the FBI to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee investigating the attacks.

“In the final report of the congressional inquiry, there was a chapter related primarily to the Saudi role in 9/11 that was totally censored, every word of the chapter has been withheld from the public,” Graham said on MSNBC’s The Dylan Ratigan Show.

“Some of the other questions we ought to be asking are if we know that the Saudis who lived in San Diego and now apparently in Sarasota received substantial assistance, what about the Saudis who lived in Phoenix, Arizona? Or Arlington, Virginia? … What was happening in those places?”

“I believe these are questions for which there are definitive answers, but the American people and largely their elected representatives have been denied that information.”

Many other 9/11 Commissioners and congressmen have called for a new investigation, including:

For example:

• 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .” He also says that it might take “a permanent 9/11 commission” to end the remaining mysteries of September 11

• 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue

• 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up”

• Senator Mike Gravel – who was the main congressman responsible for making the Pentagon Papers public – calls for a new 9/11 investigation

• Congressman Ron Paul calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states that “we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on”

• Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants a new investigation

• Congressman Jason Chafetz says that we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11

• Senator Lincoln Chaffee endorses a new investigation
  
• Congressman Dan Hamburg wants a new investigation

In addition,many high-level military and intelligence officials have called for a new investigation, including:

• Daniel Ellsberg has called for a new investigation

• U.S. General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart (General Wesley Clark) said “We’ve never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I’ve seen that for a long time”

• Former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter (Morton Goulder), former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who’s who of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11

And numerous high-level judges, legal professors and trial lawyers call for a new investigation. See this and this.

9/11 Report Outline Written Before Investigation took place

The Real Agenda
September 6, 2011

The bag of surprises called the 9/11 cover-up is the gift that keeps on giving. A new video by Wearechange.org reports on how the outline used to redact the infamous report on the terrorist attacks perpetrated on the American people a decade ago, was created before the supposed investigation occurred. In other words, even before anything  related to the 9/11 attacks was even talked about by the commission, insiders already knew what the final report would include.

The outline of the report written by Philip Zelikow was kept secret by the 9/11 commission. When asked about the existence of such outline and why was it kept secret, the commission co-chairman Thomas Kean refused to answer anything regarding the matter and simply walked away. Later, Kean, who in the past said the commission’s investigation was doomed to fail and that the government was less than cooperative with the congressmen, said it would be disrespectful on his part to talk about any details regarding the outline.

Wearechange.org’s reporter Luke Rudkowski followed Kean out to the parking lot of what seemed to be a hotel or a conference venue and repeatedly asked Kean about the outline and the 9/11 report. The congressman simply remained quiet. When Rudkowski suggested his silence was incriminating, Kean simply limited himself to smile nervously. The exchange between Rudkowski and Kean was interjected by Bob McIlvaine whose son died on 9/11 while working at Merril Lynch
