To: Raymond Duray who wrote (10140 ) 2/27/2005 12:51:42 PM From: Raymond Duray Respond to of 20039 NEW PENTAGON ATTACK WEBSITE: pentagonresearch.com [RGD: The premise of this website seems quite reasonable. I agree completely with the author that the Dept. of Defense could end 3 1/2 years of conspiracy speculation by simply showing about 1 minute of survellaince video. I really have to wonder why we've never had this story put to rest. The Kean-Zelikow Commission clearly engaged in creating a mythology about AA77 and the Pentagon, and left us with more questions than answers.] <COPY> INTRODUCTION Why investigate 9/11? The simple answer is because the current administration has failed to do so. The official investigation has been handled poorly by any standards. I understand that lives have been changed by these events and intend nothing but respect for the passengers and crew of Flight 77, the Pentagon workers and their families. It is my goal to present as much observational information as possible to assist in the process of determining what happened that day. Realize that the Pentagon could release 60 seconds of video from a multitude of surveillance cameras and put this to rest in one news broadcast. No more speculation or conspiracy theories, but most of all, closure for the families. It is the administration's choice not to provide American citizens with the complete facts. The information on this website will mostly be represented in photographs and documented quotes. I've attempted to determine the time and location of events on the Pentagon grounds. I have also done my best to identify the photographers for each photo. On the Scene Map page you will see a location guide to important elements of the incident. There will be a few photos here some people haven't seen before. For my photo use policy you can check the Photo Use page. I will warn you in advance that I will appear to contradict myself, or more accurately the evidence will contradict itself. I will present alternative points-of-view to my own conclusions. I can assure you my disposition is to understand the evidence as it is. It would be a relief to have all of my questions answered and to understand this. On the other hand, I believe there is much more to this incident than a terrorist attack on our nation with no other factors involved. Keep in mind that my goal is to provide a tool that other researchers can use and evolve into a more comprehensive picture when all is said and done. To be honest with you, I myself am confused by what I see. You will see plenty of evidence to support the official story. You will also see many anomalies that make it difficult to believe the official story. I've tried to present both fairly. Hopefully the questions raised here will produce answers or stimulate you to continue your own research. If you read this and have insights, new information, or photos of your own that can assist in the investigation, I encourage you to share them. If you can prove something here that I've missed like what caused the exit hole, I'll post your article on that page and give you credit or leave you anonymous depending on your wishes. Sometimes in a chaotic circumstance it's best to think of how the events might have unfolded. This story could have been a news article about a terrorist plot that was thwarted by Intelligence. Then it could have been the capture of several of the 19 alleged hijackers on four separate flights at three different international airports. Or it could have been an interception of the aircraft by NORAD (Flight 93 is the only plane that didn't make its target). After the fact, there should have been an immediate investigation into all four events in a public forum. Every detail of what happened would have been forensically determined and publicized without any threat to national security. Then all of the lessons could be implemented to protect future generations from similar tragedy. In reality there was no government intervention prior to the attacks. There are no NTSB, FAA, or FBI accident reports on any of the four planes. The 9/11 Commission was delayed over 2 years and the evidence from WTC and the Pentagon was mostly destroyed prior to the reports that do exist. Nobody has been held accountable and Osama Bin Laden is still at large. What we did get are volumes of new laws that violate our Constitutional rights and the invasion of two countries with over one thousand additional Americans killed and thousands more injured. How did this happen? This is where I begin my piece of the investigation. I've decided to focus strictly on the Pentagon attack. There are many great sites out there that look into the various aspects of 9/11. You will find a few throughout this site (all links on this site will open in a separate window). We'll start with the Boeing 757-200, look at the Pentagon's structure in the impact area, and venture above Washington D.C. to analyze the attack path. After that we'll look at the the photographic evidence on the ground and follow the debris trail to the exit hole. For people new to this subject it may be useful to go through this site sequentially. The information on this site will change and be updated as new information is available. I apologize to those with slower internet connections. On the sidebar pages I have left the photos large to allow for the best inspection possible.
