And why after 9/11 did the FBI go to all the stores and gas stations around the Pentagon and confiscate their video camera films? Is it because the Pentagon might have been struck by a missile, and not at all by an airliner?
(8) And how did it happen that network news reporters at the scene on the Pentagon lawn said they saw no remains of a Boeing airliner? Jamie McIntyre of CNN said, "From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon...There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around."
McIntyre thought the plane may have gone through the wall and came to a stop inside. But Judy Rothschadl, a documentary producer who was allowed inside immediately after the disaster, said, "There weren't seats or luggage or things you would find in a plane" and ABC's reporter John McWethy, said, "I got in very close, got a look early on at the bad stuff. I could not, however, see any plane wreckage."
(9) Maybe Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got it right when he later misspoke himself and accidentally blurted out that the Pentagon was struck by a missile. You think?
(10) Another odd coincidence: the part of the Pentagon that was hit was called Wedge One. As Griffin writes in his book, "Debunking 911 Debunking," (Olive Branch Press), "Wedge 1 was the only part of the Pentagon that was being renovated---with steel reinforced concrete, blast-resistant windows, fire-resistant Kevlar cloth, and a new sprinkler system---to make it less vulnerable to terrorist attacks...the strike on (that section of) the Pentagon, therefore, caused far less damage than would have an attack on any of the other four wedges."
For this attack to be an inside job, you have to believe something terrible: that the Pentagon was complicit in the murder of 125 of its own employees... it's own people. If David Ray Griffin and others in the 9/11 Truth Movement are right, the people behind 9/11 are some of the most ruthless, cold-blooded killers who ever lived.
(11) Then there's the riddle of Flight 93, which left Newark Airport on the morning of 9/11 and crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa., an hour and a half later. Just like the Pentagon's lawn, it also doesn't look like a crash site, either. As Jon Meyer, a local television reporter, said, "You just can't believe a whole plane went into this crater...There were no suitcases, no recognizable plane parts, no body parts." And Scott Spangler, a photographer for a nearby newspaper said when he arrived on the scene, "I didn't think I was in the right place...I was looking for anything that said tail, wing, plane, metal. There was nothing." And Paul Bomboy, a paramedic, thought upon arriving at the site, "It is just plain weird. Where is the plane? ...There weren't normal things going on that you would have expected. When a plane crashes, there is a plane and there are patients."
(12) Volumes have been written about what would cause the Twin Towers to collapse, considering how difficult it is to bring down steel structures without using demolition charges. I won't enumerate them. However, they appear credible particularly if you've looked at pictures of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb attack and note the steel girders still sticking up. No, too many people inside the Twin Towers that day running for their lives to escape reported they heard demolitions going off all around them. Same for some of the heroic firemen, police, and other first responders.
So sell me the George Washington Bridge. At least it was named for a man reputed never to have told a lie. But not the official 9/11 report, which gives off the same aroma as President Bush's reasons for invading Iraq. #
