<a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1921659,00.html">Q&A: A New Look at the 9/11 Commission - TIME</a><br />
<br />
"You have someone like Sandy Berger, who by all accounts is a decent guy,
taking rather extreme measures to remove documents from the National
Archives and hide them at a construction site where he could retrieve
them later and destroy them. There were interviews made at the FAA's New
York center the night of 9/11 and those tapes were destroyed. The CIA
tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to
put it mildly, was distorted and was completely different from the way
things happened." John Farmer, senior counsel, 9/11 commission<br />
<br />
"One of the harmful byproducts of not telling the truth about what
happened is that it did fuel all sorts of conspiracy theories about what
might have happened. If what the government is telling you isn't true,
then the truth could be anything. But my experience suggests that
government lacks competence to carry off an elaborate conspiracy like
what is being talked about with 9/11. I think there is evidence that the
truth wasn't told and that at least some of that was deliberate — but
it did not occur on any sort of scale that people are imagining." John Farmer<br />

Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth."<br />
<br />
"I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was
described," John Farmer, a former New Jersey attorney general who led
the staff inquiry into events on Sept. 11, said in a recent interview.
"The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to
us and the public for two years. . . . This is not spin. This is not
true."<br />
<br />
John F. Lehman, a Republican commission member and former Navy
secretary, said in a recent interview that he believed the panel may
have been lied to but that he did not believe the evidence was
sufficient to support a criminal referral. "My view of that was that whether it was willful or just the fog of
stupid bureaucracy, I don't know," Lehman said. "But in the order of
magnitude of things, going after bureaucrats because they misled the
commission didn't seem to make sense to me."

From the 9/11 commission hearings: "Four of the hijackers passports have survived in whole or in part. Two were recovered from the crash site of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania. These are the passports of Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al Ghamdi. One belonged to a hijacker on American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Satam al Suqami. A passerby picked it up and gave it to a NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed. A fourth passport was recovered from luggage that did not make it from a Portland flight to Boston on to the connecting flight which was American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Abdul Aziz al Omari."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014109318116465315.post-46710608953268253292013-06-21T11:26:00.001-07:002013-06-21T11:26:13.466-07:00Michael Hastings researching Jill Kelley case before deathWatch out LA Times; your biases are showing. <br />

I was a theorist at Syracuse University for 22 years when I taught writing and rhetoric and American public discourse, and I can't do that anymore.... This government has made me a victim of conspiracy theories because they haven't answered fully or allowed anyone to ask the true questions of September 11 and that's what I'm asking from you today. For exposure. We are not crazy. We have questions. We demand answers. I don't want to be paternalized by my government."<br />
