No where in this complaint is the suggestion that the WTC was taken down in an elaborate conspiracy that you continually promote. This group has asked pointed questions about whether the US knew of or should have known of an imminent attack. They are outraged that there existed intelligence that pointed to an attack and that information did not get acted on. They want to hold someone (s) criminally accountable. They also question the effectiveness of the US response during the attack. There is no mention of pancakes or billiard balls or pre-set explosives or conjecture that this was not a terrorist act. Specifically they want to know... Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day? Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack? Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the schoolchildren? Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day? Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published the results of multiple investigations into trading that strongly suggested foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting in tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains? Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge? How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon, have flown back towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being detected by the FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by the US military? How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos of the alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses, restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent? What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state? Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the week of 9/11 and reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered the ringleader of the hijackers? Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the questions posed by the families of the victims, in addition to almost all of the questions posed here? Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice?

<<< Nine members of September 11 families, Ground Zero first responders, and citizens of New York have signed on as the first complainants. >>> Nine huh. Do you realize that there are 10s of thousands of people that fall into this group, but only 9 have decided to take part in this group. That's proof of nothing. I don't doubt that they want more answers. I want more answers and I didn't loose a family member. That doesn't mean that I believe any of the "you got to have a screw loose" theories though. It just means that it would be nice to have a few more pieces of the total picture.
