“9-11 Commission Funding Woes”
“Is the Bush White House trying to put the brakes on the congressional panel created last fall to investigate 9-11 attacks? Sources tell TIME that the White House brushed off a request quietly made last week by the 9-11 Commission Chairman Tom Kean, the Republican former governor of New Jersey, to boost his budget by $11 million. Kean had sought the funding as part of the $75 billion supplemental spending bill that the president just requested to pay for war with Iraq. Bush’s recent move has miffed some members of the 9-11 panel.”

LEE HAMILTON

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, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only “the first draft” of history. 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American people

9/11: TRUTH, LIES AND CONSPIRACY
INTERVIEW: LEE HAMILTON
August 21, 2006
http://web.archive.org/web/20070108233707/http://www.cbc.ca/sunday/911hamilton.html

“Solomon: You write.. the first chapter of the book is ‘the Commission was set up to fail.’ – my goodness, for the critics – who suggest that it was indeed set up to fail as some kind of obfuscation – you certainly dangled a juicy piece of bait out there in the river. Why do you think you were set up to fail?

Hamilton: Well, for a number of reasons: Tom Kean and I were substitutes – Henry Kissinger and George Mitchell were the first choices; we got started late; we had a very short time frame – indeed, we had to get it extended; we did not have enough money – 3 million dollars to conduct an extensive investigation. We needed more, we got more, but it took us a while to get it.

We had a lot of skeptics out there, who really did not want the Commission formed. Politicians don’t like somebody looking back to see if they made a mistake.
The Commission had to report right, just a few days before the Democratic National Convention met, in other words, right in the middle of a political campaign. We had a lot of people strongly opposed to what we did. We had a lot of trouble getting access to documents and to people. We knew the history of commissions; the history of commissions were they.. nobody paid much attention to ’em.

So there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail. We decided that if we were going to have any success, we had to have a unanimous report, otherwise the Commission report would simply be filed.”

BOB KERREY

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 . . . .” “It was a 30 year conspiracy.”

911 Commissioner Bob Kerrey claims 911 was a 30 year conspiracy
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDfm3NroVG8

Kerrey : This is a longer conversation , I’m not sure we will ever to the bottom of it.
LA CHANGE : We have to or I don’t think we can save our country sir.
Kerrey : I don’t think, Well if that’s the condition upon which we’ll be saving our country, because , the problem is it’s a 30 year old conspiracy.
LA CHANGE : No, I’m talking about 911.
Kerrey : That’s what I’m talking about
LA CHANGE : Oh , you are.

NOTES: What did Bob Kerrey mean when he said 9/11 was a 30 year conspiracy? The video cuts out to another camera right as Bob is making his comment. Not sure if this was a poor edit job or there were different cameras filming.

Would that refer to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld’s think tank of dreaming up “Continuity of Government” while waiting for their new Pearl Harbor.

Or would it refer to Osama Bin Laden being CIA trained in throughout the 80’s and 9/11 was his “payback”.

Other theorists think the Towers were built 30 years ago with explosives pre installed. I think this is a stretch.

Regardless, Bob Kerrey has never explained what was meant by his “30 year conspiracy” comment but we should get a follow up.

JOHN FARMER

The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”

John Farmer

In John Farmer’s book: “The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11″
http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/peter_tatchell/2007/09/911_the_big_coverup.html

“In John Farmer’s book: “The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11″, the author builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version… is almost entirely untrue…”

“In the course of our investigation into the national response to the attacks, the 9/11 Commission staff discovered that the official version of what had occurred (the morning of September 11, 2001) – that is, what government and military officials had told Congress, the Commission, the media and the public about who knew what when – was almost entirely, and inexplicably untrue.” – John Farmer, senior counsel to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

Farmer states…“at some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened… I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. This is not spin.”
———
“Ultimately, Farmer builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version not only is almost entirely untrue but serves to create a false impression of order and security.”

“Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon’s initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.”

“The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.””
