9/11 Commission Report questioned by 100 professors

Many respected university professors from all disciplines have expressed significant criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report. A number even allege government complicity in the terrorist acts of 9/11. Below are the highly revealing public statements on this vital topic of 10 highly respected university professors with links for verification and further investigation. For detailed statements like these of over 100 university professors, click here.

The collective voices of these respected professors along with over 50 senior government officials, over 200 pilots and aviation professionals, and hundreds of architects and engineers give credibility to the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed.

These dedicated individuals from across the political spectrum cannot be simply dismissed as irresponsible believers in some 9/11 conspiracy theory. Their sincere concern, backed by impeccable credentials, demonstrates that criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report is not only reasonable and responsible, it is in fact a patriotic duty.

	100 ESTEEMED PROFESSORS ON 9/11
David Ray Griffin, PhD	David Ray Griffin, PhD – Professor Emeritus of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, Claremont School of Theology. Author and/or editor of over two dozen books, Prof. Griffin first began to question the 9/11 official story in 2003 while exploring a 9/11 timeline filled with reliable, verifiable facts suggesting a major cover-up. He then switched his focus from theology to 9/11 research. *His seminal book on unresolved inconsistencies in the 9/11 official story, The New Pearl Harbor, has sold over 100,000 copies.* His recent Debunking 9/11 Debunking gives in-depth analysis showing that most critics of the 9/11 truth movement are avoiding the deep questions on key, easily verifiable facts. Essay: "The 9/11 Commission Report tells many lies about particular issues. This point is implied by my critique's subtitle, 'Omissions and Distortions.' How many lies are contained in The 9/11 Commission Report? I do not know. But, deciding to see how many lies I had discussed in my book, I found that I had identified over 100 of them. Once I had made the list, it occurred to me that others might find this summary helpful. Hence this article." [List of 115 lies follows.] See full essay at http://www.serendipity.li/... Video of Speech 9/14/06: "The official story is false. Now why is the official theory an outrageous conspiracy theory? Because every one of the major elements in it can easily be shown to be false."

A. K. Dewdney, PhD	A. K. Dewdney, PhD – Professor Emeritus, Department of Computer Science, University of Western Ontario. Author of Scientific American's "Computer Recreations" and "Mathematical Recreations" section, 1984 - 1993. Author of over 80 scientific papers on mathematics, computer science, engineering, astronomy and biology. Author of numerous books, including: Beyond Reason: Eight Great Problems That Reveal the Limits of Science (2004), A Mathematical Mystery Tour: Discovering the Truth and Beauty of the Cosmos (2001), Yes, We Have No Neutrons: (1997), 200% of Nothing: An Eye Opening Tour Through the Twists and Turns of Math Abuse and Innumeracy (1996), The New Turing Omnibus: Sixty-Six Excursions in Computer Science (1993). Essay : "The debris found outside the Pentagon is inconsistent with the impact of a Boeing 757 or any aircraft of comparable dimensions. In particular, in the absence of some agency (possibly unknown to physical science) that removed the wings, there is no way to avoid the conclusion that the wings (and therefore the aircraft) were never present in the first place. In this case, no Boeing 757 struck the Pentagon building on the morning of September 11, 2001." http://www.physics911.net/mi... Member: Scientific Panel Investigating 9/11. Panel Statement: "We have found solid scientific grounds on which to question the interpretation put upon the events of 9/11 by the Office of the President of the United States of America and subsequently propagated by the major media."

He is the author or coauthor of numerous books, including Religion and Humane Global Governance; Human Rights Horizons; On Humane Governance: Toward a New Global Politics; and Human Rights and State Sovereignty. Honorary Vice president of the American Society of International Law. *Foreward to The New Pearl Harbor:* "The New Pearl Harbor ... explores the most sensitive and controversial terrain—the broad landscape of official behavior in relation to the 9/11 disaster—in the best spirit of academic detachment coupled with ... a willingness to allow inquiry to follow the path of evidence and reason wherever it leads. [It shows that] there are so many gaping holes in the official accounts of 9/11 that no plausible coherent narrative remains. "[Author David Ray] Griffin shows, with insight and a firm grasp of the many dimensions of global security policy of the Bush Administration, that getting 9/11 right, even belatedly, matters desperately. The layer upon layer of unexplained facts, the multiple efforts by those in power to foreclose independent inquiry, and the evidence of a pre-9/11 blueprint by Bush insiders to do what they are doing on the basis of a 9/11 mandate is why the Griffin assessment does not even require a reader with a normally open mind. 30% receptivity will do, which means that all but the most dogmatically blinded adherents of the Bush presidency will be convinced by the basic argument of The New Pearl Harbor." http://www.transnational.org/SAJT/forum/meet/2004/Falk...

Peter Phillips, PhD	Peter Phillips, PhD – Professor of Sociology, Sonoma State University. Director, Project Censored. Author of several books and chief editor of the highly regarded annual Project Censored books which uncover vital news neglected by the major media. Prof. Phillips is also a respected member of the intrepid WantToKnow.info team. Essay 3/6/05: "A threshold concept facing Americans is the possibility that the 9/11 Commission Report was on many levels a cover-up for the failure of the US government to prevent the tragedy. The report failed to address sources of external assistance to the terrorists. Investigations into this area might have lead to a conclusion that elements of various governments - including our own - not only knew about the attacks in advance, but also may have helped facilitate their implementation. "Overall concerns with the official version of 9/11 have been published and discussed by scholars and politicians around the world. The response to most has been to label these discussions as "conspiracy theories" unworthy of media coverage or further review. Pursuit of a critical analysis of these questions is undermined by the psychological barrier about 9/11 issues as threshold concepts — too awful to even consider. "We must step past the threshold and have the courage to ask the questions, demand answers, and support research into all aspects of this American tragedy. Perhaps the closet isn't as dark and as fearful as we envision. If we don't courageously look and search into the deepest regions of our fears, how can we assure our children and ourselves a safe and honest future?" http://www.commondreams.org/views...

Daniele Ganser, PhD	Daniele Ganser, PhD – Professor in the History Department at the University of Basel. Former Senior Researcher at the Center for Security Studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Former Researcher at the Military Academy (MILAK) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Author of NATO's Secret Armies, on the history of U.S.-sponsored false flag operations in Europe after WW II. Interview 4/8/05: "Academics who study secret warfare find themselves between these three theories—LIHOP [The US government knew the attack was coming, but Let It Happen On Purpose], SURPRISE [The US government was not expecting the attack], and INSIDE JOB [The U.S. government planned and executed the attack]. They all are "conspiracy theories," by the way. Researchers try to find out which theory is best able to account for all the known facts. "But unfortunately, the 600-page [9/11 Commission] report, published in July 2004 and accepted by Bush as the "official story" of what happened in respect to 9/11, does not even mention the LIHOP and INSIDE JOB theories! It presents SURPRISE as the only possible explanation. "Now, [9/11 Commission Executive Director] Philip Zelikow is a respected professor of history. As a fellow historian I was therefore very surprised to find that his report is totally unbalanced. Of course, Zelikow is aware of the LIHOP and INSIDE JOB theories, no doubt. How can he author a book on 9/11, which claims to search for the truth, but which totally ignores these theories?" http://www.danieleganser.ch/e/interviews...

Former Canadian diplomat who served at the UN and the Canadian Embassy in Poland. Author of Drugs, Oil and War (2003), and several other books including Deep Politics and the Death of JFK (1996) and The Iran-Contra Connection. Co-editor of 9/11 and American Empire (Vol I) – Intellectuals Speak Out (2006). His writings deal, among other matters, with U.S. covert operations and their impact on democracy at home and abroad. Prof. Scott is also a respected member of the intrepid WantToKnow.info team. Congressional briefing testimony 7/22/05: "The American people have been seriously misled about the origins of the al Qaeda movement ... just as they have been seriously misled about the reasons for America's invasion of Iraq. The 9/11 Commission Report assures Americans that 'Bin Ladin and his comrades had their own sources of support and training, and they received little or no assistance from the United States.' This misleading statement fails to consider that: – Al Qaeda elements received considerable indirect U.S. Government assistance, first in Afghanistan until 1992, and thereafter in other countries such as Azerbaijan (1992-95) – Key members of the network which became al Qaeda, such as Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, Ali Mohamed, Mohamed Jamal Khalifa, and lead hijacker Mohammed Atta, were granted visas to enter the United States, despite being suspected of terrorism. – Repeatedly al Qaeda terrorists were protected by FBI officials from investigation and prosecution."

Prof. Chossudovsky is the author of several important books, including his popular War and Globalisation: The Truth Behind September 11. Article 7/20/06: "What I've done in my writings is to show that the official narrative or explanation regarding 9/11 can be refuted, namely that the official narrative is a lie. "What the 9/11 Commission Report has submitted is an extensive narrative of what happened on that day and what happened on the planes. And the evidence suggests that the 9/11 report is a lie.

Report Abuse

The comprehensive list that you highlight and fully-inclusive at patriotsquestion911.com has hundreds of peoples' testimony in different fields that are legally considered as "expert witnesses." The Bush administration appointing a commission (after more than a year of refusal) to investigate themselves and their non peer-reviewed explanations are properly a subject for professional criticism. Res ipsa loquitur, the facts do speak for themselves; and we need a truly independent and honest investigation to reveal them.

Report Abuse

What is more amazing, though, is that these professors (and other professionals) are so few, while the fact that the 9/11 terror attacks were a poorly concealed false flag. This tells a lot about the hidden power of the 9/11 conspirators, who by the way still remain unknown to this day.

Love,
