official storyline, I only occasionally check into DU's dungeon. When I did so the other evening, I saw a reference to a maintenance man who was in the sub-basement when the planes struck. Out of curiosity I googled the name and came across Patriots Question 911, a truly remarkable site. DUers who have been following the story closely will no doubt be familiar with the information however even the most knowledgeable DUer will appreciate how the site organizes the information.
From a personal comment from Alan Miller, the website creator:
snip
"I believed the official explanation of 9/11 for four and one-half years. During that time, I remember becoming angry at news stories about people who challenged that explanation...In August 2006, I began searching for statements about 9/11 by senior U.S. military officers, intelligence services and law enforcement veterans, and government officials. Because of their experience in intelligence gathering, espionage, terrorism, and covert military operations, I felt their opinions about 9/11 would be valuable. I was surprised by the amount of their criticism of the official account of 9/11 that I found scattered around the Internet. I had learned of virtually none of this criticism through newspapers, television, or radio news sources.
I feel this criticism by experienced professionals is extremely important and that it has been seriously under-reported.
This website was launched in September 2006 in an effort to provide an easily accessible reference collection of their public statements.I continued my research and found that many more than just a handful of professors had publicly questioned the official account of 9/11. However most had received negligible media coverage. In January 2007, a new section of the website was launched that featured statements by over 100 professors.
Since then, the following sections have been added to the website; Engineers and Architects, Pilots and Aviation and Aerospace Professionals, 9/11 Survivors and Family Members, and Artists, Entertainers, and Media Professionals. I strongly desire to increase this collection of statements by responsible individuals who question the official account of 9/11. If you are a member of one of these groups, or if you are aware of any similar statements made by members of these groups, I would greatly appreciate knowing about them. Please contact me at alan.miller (at) PatriotsQuestion911 (dot) com. Additionally, if you find any errors in this material, please let me know."
It is Miller's effort to organize statements that makes this site not just invaluable but also jaw dropping. I had no idea that many individuals in the these organizations have gone on record that the 911 Commission was a crock and that the real story has not come out. For instance Bogdan Dzakovic – Witness before the 9/11 Commission said that "At worst, I think the 9/11 Commission Report is treasonous." Dzakovic is BTW a 14-year Counter-terrorism expert in the Security Division of the Federal Aviation Administration. Team Leader of the FAA's Red (Terrorism) Team, which conducted undercover tests on airport security through simulated terrorist attacks. Former Team Leader in the Federal Air Marshal program. Former Coast Guard officer.
Also gripping is the section with accounts from first responders, building maintenance workers, survivors (several of which are priests who were inside the lobby when the planes hit). What is notable is that many of these statements were taken only weeks after the attack before there was any suggestion of this being an inside job
"below are statements by more than 200 of these senior officials. Their collective voices give credibility to the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed. These individuals cannot be simply dismissed as irresponsible believers in some 9/11 conspiracy theory. Their sincere concern, backed by their decades of service to their country, demonstrate that criticism of the Report is not irresponsible, illogical, nor disloyal, per se. In fact, it can be just the opposite."
