The 911 Commission Report 50 Questions never answered by CIA
Conspiracy Theories
911
It’s September 11 all over again – eight years on. The George W Bush administration is out. The “global war on terror” is still on, renamed “overseas contingency operations” by the Barack Obama administration. Obama’s “new strategy” – a war escalation – is in play in AfPak

| Truth about 9-11 attacks |
. Osama bin
Laden may be dead or not. “Al-Qaeda” remains a catch-all ghost entity.
September 11 – the neo-cons’ “new Pearl Harbor” – remains the darkest jigsaw
puzzle of the young 21st century.It’s useless to expect US corporate media and the
ruling elites’ political operatives to call for a true, in-depth investigationinto the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001. Whitewash has been the norm.
But even establishment highlight Dr Zbig “Grand Chessboard” Brzezinski, a
former national security advisor, has admitted to the US Senate that the
post-9/11 “war on terror” is a “mythical historical narrative”.
The following questions, some multi-part – and most totally
ignored by the 9/11 Commission – are just the tip of the immense 9/11 iceberg.
A hat tip goes to the indefatigable work of 911truth.org;
whatreallyhappened.com; architects and engineers for 9/11 truth; the Italiandocumentary Zero: an investigation into 9/11; and Asia Times Online readers’
e-mails.
911 Commission of united states never answered many questions
None of these questions has been convincingly answered –
according to the official narrative. It’s up to US civil society to keep up the
pressure. Eight years after the fact, one fundamental conclusion is imperative.
The official narrative edifice of 9/11 is simply not acceptable.
Fifty questions
1) How come dead or not dead Osama bin Laden has not been
formally indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as responsible
for 9/11? Is it because the US government – as acknowledged by the FBI itself –
has not produced a single conclusive piece of evidence?
2) How could all the alleged 19 razor-blade boxcutter-equipped Muslim perpetrators have been identified in less than 72 hours– without even a crime scene investigation?
3) How come none of the 19′s names appeared on the passenger
lists released the same day by both United Airlines and American Airlines?
4) How come eight names on the “original” FBI list happened
to be found alive and living in different countries?
5) Why would pious jihadi Mohammed Atta leave a how-to-fly
video manual, a uniform and his last will inside his bag knowing he was on a
suicide mission?
6) Why did Mohammed Atta study flight simulation at Opa
Locka, a hub of no less than six US Navy training bases?
7) How could Mohammed Atta’s passport have been magically
found buried among the Word Trade Center (WTC)’s debris when not a single
flight recorder was found?
8) Who is in the possession of the “disappeared” eight
indestructible black boxes on those four flights?
9) Considering multiple international red alerts about a
possible terrorist attack inside the US – including former secretary of state
Condoleezza Rice’s infamous August 6, 2001, memo – how come four hijacked
planes deviating from their computerized flight paths and disappearing from
radar are allowed to fly around US airspace for more than an hour and a half –not to mention disabling all the elaborate Pentagon’s defense systems in theprocess?
10) Why the secretary of the US Air Force James Roche did
not try to intercept both planes hitting the WTC (only seven minutes away from
McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey) as well as the Pentagon (only 10 minutes
away from McGuire)? Roche had no less than 75 minutes to respond to the plane
hitting the Pentagon.
11) Why did George W Bush continue to recite “My Pet Goat”
in his Florida school and was not instantly absconded by the secret service?
12) How could Bush have seen the first plane crashing on WTC
live – as he admitted? Did he have previous knowledge – or is he psychic?
13) Bush said that he and Andrew Card initially thought the
first hit on the WTC was an accident with a small plane. How is that possible
when the FAA as well as NORAD already knew this was about a hijacked plane?
14) What are the odds of transponders in four different
planes be turned off almost simultaneously, in the same geographical area, very
close to the nation’s seat of power in Washington, and no one scrambles to
contact the Pentagon or the media?
16) Why was the DC Air National Guard in Washington AWOL on 9/11?
17) Why did combat jet fighters of the 305th Air Wing,
McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey not intercept the second hijacked plane
hitting the WTC, when they could have done it within seven minutes?
18) Why did none of the combat jet fighters of the 459th
Aircraft Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base intercept the plane that hit the
Pentagon, only 16 kilometers away? And since we’re at it, why the Pentagon did
not release the full video of the hit?
19) A number of very experienced airline pilots – including
US ally Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a former fighter jet pilot – revealed
that, well, only crack pilots could have performed such complex maneuvers on
the hijacked jets, while others insisted they could only have been accomplished
by remote control. Is it remotely believable that the hijackers were up to the
task?
20) How come a substantial number of witnesses did swear
seeing and hearing multiple explosions in both towers of the WTC?
21) How come a substantial number of reputed architects and
engineers are adamant that the official narrative simply does not explain the
largest structural collapse in recorded history (the Twin Towers) as well as
the collapse of WTC building 7, which was not even hit by a jet?
22) According to Frank de Martini, WTC’s construction
manager, “We designed the building to resist the impact of one or more
jetliners.” The second plane nearly missed tower 1; most of the fuel burned in
an explosion outside the tower. Yet this tower collapsed first, long before
tower 2 that was “perforated” by the first hit. Jet fuel burned up fast – and
by far did not reach the 2000-degree heat necessary to hurt the six tubular
steel columns in the center of the tower – designed specifically to keep the towers
from collapsing even if hit by a Boeing 707. A Boeing 707 used to carry more
fuel than the Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 that actually hit the towers.
23) Why did Mayor Rudolph Giuliani instantly authorized the
shipment of WTC rubble to China and India for recycling?
24) Why was metallic debris found no less than 13 kilometers
from the crash site of the plane that went down in Pennsylvania? Was the plane
in fact shot down – under vice president Dick Cheney’s orders?
25) The Pipelineistan question. What did US ambassador Wendy
Chamberlain talk about over the phone on October 10, 2001, with the oil
minister of Pakistan? Was it to tell him that the 1990s-planned Unocal gas
pipeline project, TAP (Turkmenistan/Afghanistan/ Pakistan), abandoned because
of Taliban demands on transit fees, was now back in business? (Two months
later, an agreement to build the pipeline was signed between the leaders of the
three countries).
26) What is former Unocal lobbyist and former Bush pet
Afghan Zalmay Khalilzad up to in Afghanistan?
27) How come former Pakistani foreign minister Niaz Niak
said in mid-July 2001 that the US had already decided to strike against Osama
bin Laden and the Taliban by October? The topic was discussed secretly at the
July Group of Eight summit in Genoa, Italy, according to Pakistani diplomats.
28) How come US ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine told FBI
agent John O’Neill in July 2001 to stop investigating al-Qaeda’s financial
operations – with O’Neill instantly moved to a security job at the WTC, where
he died on 9/11?
29) Considering the very intimate relationship between the
Taliban and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and the ISI and the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), is Bin Laden alive, dead or still a valuable
asset of the ISI, the CIA or both?
30) Was Bin Laden admitted at the American hospital in Dubai
in the United Arab Emirates on July 4, 2001, after flying from Quetta,
Pakistan, and staying for treatment until July 11?
31) Did the Bin Laden group build the caves of Tora Bora in
close cooperation with the CIA during the 1980s’ anti-Soviet jihad?
32) How come General Tommy Franks knew for sure that Bin
Laden was hiding in Tora Bora in late November 2001?
33) Why did president Bill Clinton abort a hit on Bin Laden
in October 1999? Why did then-Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf abort a
covert ops in the same date? And why did Musharraf do the same thing again in
August 2001?
34) Why did George W Bush dissolve the Bin Laden Task Force
nine months before 9/11?
35) How come the (fake) Bin Laden home video – in which he
“confesses” to being the perpetrator of 9/11 – released by the US on December
13, 2001, was found only two weeks after it was produced (on November 9); was
it really found in Jalalabad (considering Northern Alliance and US troops had
not even arrived there at the time); by whom; and how come the Pentagon was
forced to release a new translation after the first (botched) one?
36) Why was ISI chief Lieutenant General Mahmud Ahmad
abruptly “retired” on October 8, 2001, the day the US started bombing
Afghanistan?
37) What was Ahmad up to in Washington exactly on the week
of 9/11 (he arrived on September 4)? On the morning of 9/11, Ahmad was having
breakfast on Capitol Hill with Bob Graham and Porter Goss, both later part of
the 9/11 Commission, which simply refused to investigate two of its members.
Ahmad had breakfast with Richard Armitage of the State Department on September
12 and 13 (when Pakistan negotiated its “cooperation” with the “war on terror”)
and met all the CIA and Pentagon top brass. On September 13, Musharraf
announced he would send Ahmad to Afghanistan to demand to the Taliban the
extradition of Bin Laden.
38) Who inside the ISI transferred US$100,000 to Mohammed
Atta in the summer of 2001 – under orders of Ahmad himself, as Indian
intelligence insists? Was it really ISI asset Omar Sheikh, Bin Laden’s
information technology specialist who later organized the slaying of American
journalist Daniel Pearl in Karachi? So was the ISI directly linked to 9/11?
39) Did the FBI investigate the two shady characters who met
Mohammed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi in Harry’s Bar at the Helmsley Hotel in New
York City on September 8, 2001?
40) What did director of Asian affairs at the State
Department Christina Rocca and the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam
Zaeef discuss in their meeting in Islamabad in August 2001?
41) Did Washington know in advance that an “al-Qaeda” connection
would kill Afghan nationalist commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, aka “The Lion of
the Panjshir”, only two days before 9/11? Massoud was fighting the Taliban and
al-Qaeda – helped by Russia and Iran. According to the Northern Alliance,
Massoud was killed by an ISI-Taliban-al Qaeda axis. If still alive, he would
never have allowed the US to rig a loya jirga (grand council) in Afghanistan
and install a puppet, former CIA asset Hamid Karzai, as leader of the country.
42) Why did it take no less than four months before the name
of Ramzi Binalshibh surfaced in the 9/11 context, considering the Yemeni was a
roommate of Mohammed Atta in his apartment cell in Hamburg?
43) Is pathetic shoe-bomber Richard Reid an ISI asset?
44) Did then-Russian president Vladimir Putin and Russian
intelligence tell the CIA in 2001 that 25 terrorist pilots had been training
for suicide missions?
45) When did the head of German intelligence, August
Hanning, tell the CIA that terrorists were “planning to hijack commercial
aircraft?”
46) When did Egyptian President Mubarak tell the CIA about
an attack on the US with an “airplane stuffed with explosives?”
47) When did Israel’s Mossad director Efraim Halevy tell the
CIA about a possible attack on the US by “200 terrorists?”
48) Were the Taliban aware of the warning by a Bush
administration official as early as February 2001 – “Either you accept our
offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs?”
49) Has Northrop-Grumman used Global Hawk technology – which
allows to remotely control unmanned planes – in the war in Afghanistan since
October 2001? Did it install Global Hawk in a commercial plane? Is Global Hawk
available at all for commercial planes?
50) Would Cheney stand up and volunteer the detailed
timeline of what he was really up to during the whole day on 9/11? Fifty

How the Globalized World is Dissolving into Liquid War (Nimble Books, 2007) and
