Alright, since Alex Jones is still being Stalin over his comments at Infowars.com......................................
Senator Max Cleland, who resigned from the 9/11 Commission after calling it a “national scandal”, stated in a 2003 PBS interview,
“I’m saying that’s deliberate. I am saying that the delay in relating this information to the American public out of a hearing… series of hearings, that several members of Congress knew eight or ten months ago, including Bob Graham and others, that was deliberately slow walked… the 9/11 Commission was deliberately slow walked, because the Administration’s policy was, and its priority was, we’re gonna take Saddam Hussein out.”
Implication: Cleland is clearly saying that Bush did it!
Reality: Cleland is complaining that the comission was slow due to political reasons and that the administration wanted to make a case for the war in Iraq. No mention about an inside job.
Cleland, speaking with Democracy Now, said,
“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”.
Implication: Cleland is clearly saying that Bush did it!
Reality: In his opinion, the White House is covering something up. Maybe? But what? More context is needed for any rational conclusions to be drawn from this.
In 2006 the Washington Post reported that several members of the 9/11 Commission suspected deception on part of the Pentagon. As reported,
“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.”
Implication: "Several members" are clearly saying Bush did it!
Reality: The Pentagon is being secretive, oh boy! Also, it says "initial story", which doesn't mean they haven't changed their tune a bit now that the uncertainty of more events has become more clear. If they think they're under attack, as IF they're going to be 100% forthcoming. Basic Art of War 101.
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerry also has unanswered questions. As reported by Salon, he believes that there are legitimate reasons to believe an alternative version to the official story.
“There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version,” Kerrey said. The commission had limited time and limited resources to pursue its investigation, and its access to key documents and witnesses was fettered by the administration.
Implication: Kerry is clearly saying that Bush did it!
Reality: Because of budget limitations and time restraints, not every angle can be covered, thus there may be "some" points that are incorrect or were overlooked. Pretty normal, I think.
Commissioner Tim Roemer, speaking to CNN, stated that Commission members were considering a criminal probe of false statements. As quoted,
“We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting,” Roemer told CNN. “We were not sure of the intent, whether it was to deceive the commission or merely part of the fumbling bureaucracy.”
Implication: Roemer is clearly saying that Bush did it!
Reality: This does suck, false statements to a comission is not acceptable. But to jump the gun and imply that they were lying because they were the criminals behind the attacks, not because they had national security interests, I think is absurd.
