Ret. FAA Special Agent says Commission Report=Bullshit
Has a terrorists-did-this spin, but still... yet another real person from one of the agencies involved speaks out.

http://www.911citizenswatch.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=638

How much more are we supposed to put up with from the 9/11 Commission or its follow on, the 9-11 Discourse Project?

First of all they create the perfect smoke screen to excuse accountability - "How could we have forseen this, with our failed imagination?" Then, they dismiss Rep. Curt Weldon's information about "Able Danger/Mohammed Atta" as being "historically insignificant," and this after failing to report "security performance issues leading up to 9/11 at the airports from which the hijacked planes departed."

The Commission's Staff Statement No. 3, "The Aviation Security System and the 9/11 Attacks," stated in reference to those security performance issues, that, "Such work is still ongoing." Unfortunately, it was either never completed or simply left out of their final report. It is possible that the Administration redacted this information from the Commission's last staff monograph, entitled "The Four Flights and Civil Aviation Security." But, if so, why won't the Commissioners tell us that?

The bottom line is that it has become increasingly clear that the 9/11 Commission's effort was incomplete. Its recommendations are based upon an illusory report and any attempt to grade compliance with its recommendations becomes a farcical exercise.

It is long past time that the American people and Congress demand accountability and demand that the rest of the 9/11 story be told. To do less will enable future terrorist attacks against us.

1. Sept. 11 Advocates: Commission=Bullshit
http://www.911citizenswatch.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=635&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

For Immediate Release -- August 17, 2005

We would like to thank Lt. Colonel Anthony Shaffer for coming forward with invaluable information that could ultimately be used to help make our nation safer.

The mandate of the 9/11 Commission was to unearth these facts so as to provide the necessary fixes that would prevent, thwart or mitigate the results of another attack. We strongly disagree with Thomas Kean's and Lee Hamilton's latest conclusion that Able Danger "did not turn out to be historically significant, set against the larger context of U.S. policy and intelligence efforts that involved (Osama) bin Laden and al Qaeda." Clearly, knowledge of the hijackers whereabouts, one year prior to 9/11, would be of extreme relevance to the 9/11 story and would have bearings on recommendations put forth by the 9/11 Commission. It is, therefore, becoming increasingly apparent that the Commission failed in their obligation to the American Public and to those who lost their lives on 9/11.

Today, with no real fact finding body in place, it will only be when individuals have the courage to speak out about these truths that we can actually hope to make progress in this post 9/11 era.

It is our fervent wish that any other individuals who have information find the strength and courage, as exhibited by Lt. Colonel Shaffer, to come forward and that in doing so they suffer no consequences but instead are properly rewarded for their patriotism.

2. Dr. Griffin's books clearly document the 9/11 Comm. Report is pure coverup
with no serious effort to investigate or educate.
And misinformation, mis-statements, lies throughout.

Similarly,
