Paul Hellyer	Paul Hellyer – Former Minister of National Defense of Canada. Former Deputy Prime Minister.  Former Member of House of Commons.   Video interview with Kyle Hence 5/27/04: Regarding 9/11 "Why did the President just sit in the schoolroom when he heard the news?  Why did he not acknowledge that he already knew what was going on?  As a former Minister of National Defense, when the news came out I had to wonder.  Why did airplanes fly around for an hour and a half without interceptors being scrambled from Andrews [Air Force Base]? ... With a quick action alert they should have been there in five minutes or ten minutes. ... I think the inquiry has been very shallow, very superficial.  I would like to see a much tougher, more in-depth inquiry. … I would like to see someone in a position of authority ask those questions and insist on getting answers, at least to why some of the things that happened that seem to be, for an ordinary person, inexplicable. … I'm very disturbed about a lack of transparency.  Everyone talks about it, and no one is willing to come clean, as it were. ... We have to try and get the truth. … I hope that somebody has the courage and persistence to keep at it until we get it."

Stephen Beckow	Stephen Beckow – Retired Member of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.  Former Historian at the National Museum of Man (now known as the Canadian Museum of Civilization). Essay 9/11/07:  "George Bush says that he entered the 'war against terror' to avenge the deaths of 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11. Three-thousand Americans did die on 9/11 and, even though I am a Canadian and not an American, I honor every one of them. But, in my view, they did not die in an act of foreign terror. I allege that they died at the hands of unknown parties under the direction of President George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. ... The bottom line is that there are no reasons of 'national security' for hiding all the details of 9/11. There is only 'fear of impeachment'.”  http://21stcenturycicero.wordpress.com       Essay 9/19/07:  "A growing consensus of Americans (and, in my case, Canadians) believe that 9/11 was a "false flag" operation carried out by the Bush administration and their agents in the American military and intelligence communities. ... On behalf of all (Canadians or Americans) who have blamed Muslims for the events of 9/11, I apologize for having accepted the official version of events. I assert that there are no grounds for blaming Muslims for 9/11. I contend that all racial profiling that has occurred since then has just been part of a drama designed to hide a false-flag operation. I argue that the “war on terrorism,” as of 2001, was non-existent.  Our actions since then may have created one, but that is another matter. I allege that the Bush Administration has used terror alerts since 9/11 as a way of manipulating the public. Recently, the Bush administration has given signs that it plans a second 9/11 to kickstart an illegal war on Iran (see my OpEdNews article, The Chronology of a Second 9/11). If such a horrible catastrophe as a nuclear attack on an American city (the likeliest spot appears to be Portland) is perpetrated upon the people of the United States, I remind them that this too is a Bush-administration crime and has nothing to do with Muslims. George Bush and Dick Cheney are the real terrorists.  They are guilty of mass murder and high treason.  And we are complicit through our silence and in accepting as the explanation their false charges against Muslims."  http://www.opednews.com   Website: http://impeachspace.ning.com/profile/unity22
Peter Dale Scott, PhD	Peter Dale Scott, PhD – Former Canadian diplomat who served at the United Nations and the Canadian Embassy in Warsaw, Poland.   Professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Berkeley. He is author of Drugs, Oil and War (2003), and seven other books including Deep Politics and the Death of JFK (1993, 1996) and The Iran-Contra Connection (in collaboration, 1987).  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.  Congressional briefing testimony 7/22/05 (p.52): "The American people have been seriously misled about the origins of the al Qaeda movement blamed for the 9/11 attacks, 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.  Al Qaeda foot soldiers were also admitted to the United States for training under a special visa program. ... [Editor's note: See also J. Michael Springman.]   –  Repeatedly al Qaeda terrorists were protected by FBI officials from investigation and prosecution." [Editor's note: See also Coleen Rowley and Bryan Sacks.] http://www.vt911.org   Signatory: Petition requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11:     "We want truthful answers to question. …  As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things: An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings. Media attention to scrutinize and investigate the evidence. The formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry." http://www.911truth.org/article   Bio: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~pdscott/
Michael Meacher	Michael Meacher – Former Under Secretary for Industry, Under Secretary for Health and Social Security, Minister for the Environment, and Member of the House of Commons (UK).   Video 5/6/06:  Regarding the 9/11 Commission Report  "It was a 580-page avoidance of any serious explanation. … The official investigative report says the US has never been able to find the sources of financing for 9/11.  And then they say this "That after all is a matter of no great importance." [Editor's note: 9/11 Commission Report, p.172] I find that astonishing.  It is a matter of absolutely central importance. So there was a very great deal of evidence.  And it seems to me extraordinary that the United States with its stupendous military capabilities and the most technologically advanced country in the world completely and totally failed to follow up on these leads." http://video.google   Essay 7/22/04: "[Ahmed Omar Saeed] Sheikh is also the man who, on the instructions of General Mahmoud Ahmed, the then head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), wired $100,000 before the 9/11 attacks to Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker. It is extraordinary that neither Ahmed nor Sheikh have been charged and brought to trial on this count. Why not? ... When Ahmed was exposed by the Wall Street Journal as having sent the money to the hijackers, he was forced to "retire" by President Pervez Musharraf. Why hasn't the US demanded that he be questioned and tried in court?" http://www.guardian.co   Editor's note: Despite the finding of the Joint House-Senate Select Intelligence Committee's 2002 Report (p.415) of "sources of foreign support for some of the September 11 hijackers", the 9/11 Commission Report (p. 172) states, "Similarly, we have seen no evidence that any foreign government -- or government official -- supplied any funding."  For more information on foreign support of the 9/11 hijackers, see Senator Bob Graham, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Major John Newman, and William Bergman.   Bio: http://www.epolitix.com
Tony Benn	Tony Benn – Former Member of British Parliament 1942 - 2001. Longest serving MP in the history of the Labour party.  Former Minister of Technology.  Former Secretary of State for Industry.  Former Secretary of State for Energy.  Former Postmaster General.   Signatory: Petition For An Independent International Truth Commission On 9/11. "[T]he Bush administration has never offered a detailed and documented account of its claims about the events of 9-11 which have allegedly revolutionized human affairs. Nor has it explained obvious and serious discrepancies in its own statements and actions. No systematic proof has ever been published or offered as to who the terrorists were, how they operated, where they came from, and why they were not stopped. ... The Kean-Hamilton panel’s limited funding from Congress makes a mockery of the tragedy of 9-11, considering that it is only a small fraction of the huge sums spent to investigate Bill Clinton. ... We therefore call upon statesmen, thinkers, journalists, investigators, artists, scientists, jurists, academics, humanitarians, religious leaders, activists and other eminent personalities from around the world to form an Independent International Truth Commission dedicated to preventing unproven assertions about 9-11 from setting the stage for a new world conflagration." http://iitc.911review.org/   Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Benn
Andreas von Buelow, PhD	Andreas von Buelow, PhD – Former State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Defense of West Germany. Former Minister of Research and Technology. Member of Bundestag (Parliament) 1969 - 1994.   Video 5/6/06:  "The official story is so inadequate and far-fetched that there must be another one."   http://video.google.com   Article/Interview 1/13/02: "The planning of the attacks was technically and organizationally a master achievement. To hijack four huge airplanes within a few minutes and within one hour, to drive them into their targets, with complicated flight maneuvers!  This is unthinkable, without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry."   http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/VonBuelow   Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice   Association Statement: "Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice is a non-partisan organization consisting of independent researchers and activists engaged in uncovering the true nature of the September 11, 2001 attacks."
Horst Ehmke, PhD	Horst Ehmke, PhD – Former Minister of Justice (West Germany).  Former Minister for Research and Technology.  Cabinet Member under Chancellors Kurt Kiesinger and Willy Brandt 1966 - 1974.  Professor of Law, University of Freiburg   Article 7/22/04: "Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret service." http://www.guardian.co   Bio: http://translate.google.com
Ernst Welteke	Ernst Welteke – Former President of Deutsche Bundesbank (German Federal Bank) 1999 - 2004.  German politician and political economist.  Member of the Hessian State Parliament, 1974 - 1995.   Telegraph Article 9/23/01: "Ernst Welteke, president of the Bundesbank, said financial investigators had found strong indications of suspicious dealings in gold and oil, as well as unusual movements in airline and insurance shares, in the days before the September 11 attacks in the United States.  ..."There are ever clearer signs that there were activities on international financial markets that must have been carried out with the necessary expert knowledge." http://www.telegraph.co.uk   Washington Post Article 9/22/01: "The president of Germany's central bank said today there was mounting evidence that people connected to the attacks in New York and Washington sought to profit from the tragedy by engaging in "terrorism insider trading" on European stock and commodity markets. Ernst Welteke, head of the Bundesbank, said a preliminary review by German regulators and bank researchers showed there were highly suspicious sales of shares in airlines and insurance companies, along with major trades in gold and oil markets, before Sept. 11 that suggest they were conducted with advance knowledge of the attacks. Welteke said his researchers came across what he considers almost irrefutable proof of insider trading as recently as Thursday, but he refused to release details pending further consultations with regulators in other countries. "What we found makes us sure that people connected to the terrorists must have been trying to profit from this tragedy,'' he told European finance ministers and central bankers." http://www.webcom.com/hrin/magazine/brussels.html   Editor's note: The 9/11 Commission states in its Monograph on Terrorist Financing, "The U.S. government investigation unequivocally concluded that there was no evidence of illicit trading in the U.S. markets with knowledge of the terrorist attacks. The Commission staff, after an independent review of the government investigation, has discovered no reason to doubt this conclusion."  For more information on 9/11-related investment irregularities, see Paul Zarembka and William Bergman.   Bio: http://64.233.179.104:
Francesco Cossiga	Francesco Cossiga – Former President of Italy (1985 - 1992) and Former Prime Minister.    Book 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA: "Cossiga indicated his suspicion that the attacks presupposed some form of complicity within the US security system. The mastermind of the attack, Cossiga observed must have been a "sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel." As for Bin Laden, Cossiga added that "it is not thinkable that he did everything by himself."

General Leonid Ivashov	General Leonid Ivashov – Former Chief of Staff of the Russian armed forces on 9/11/2001, and Department Chief for General affairs in the Soviet Union's Ministry of Defense.   Essay 1/22/06: Regarding 9/11 "Only secret services and their current chiefs – or those retired but still having influence inside the state organizations – have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude. ... Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the organizers nor the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders."  http://www.physics911.net/ivashov
Gen. Hosni Mubarak	Gen. Hosni Mubarak – President of Egypt, 1981 - present.  Former Vice President, 1975 - 1981.  Former Commander of the Egyptian Air Force and Deputy Minister of War.   CNN Interview 9/15/01: Regarding 9/11 "... those who did that [piloted a 757 into the Pentagon] should have flown in the area a long time, for example. The Pentagon is not very high, a pilot could come straight to the Pentagon like this to hit, he should have flown a lot in this area to know the obstacles which could meet him when he is flying very low with a big commercial plane to hit the Pentagon in a special place. Somebody has studied this very well, someone has flown in this area very much. Q: Are you suggesting it was an inside operation, I may ask, who do you think is behind this? Mubarak: Frankly speaking I don't want to jump to conclusions. ... let us wait and see what is the result of the investigations, because something like this done in the United States is not an easy thing ... I am speaking as a former pilot, I know that very well, I flew very heavy planes, I flew fighters, I know that very well, this is not an easy thing, so I think we should not jump to conclusions from now." http://www.presidency.   BBC Interview 9/19/01 - "When asked about the expected repercussions of an assault on Afghanistan and the killing of Osama bin Laden, Mubarak said he didn't believe bin Laden alone was responsible for the attacks on the US. "American experts also believe the operation is beyond bin Laden." http://www.presidency.gov.eg   Article 10/25/01: "I find it hard to believe that people who were learning to fly in Florida could, within a year and a half, fly large commercial airlines and hit with accuracy the towers of the World Trade Center which would appear, to the pilot from the air, the size of a pencil. Only a professional pilot could carry out this mission, not someone who learned to fly for 18 months in Florida." http://www.sis.gov.eg   Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosni_Mubarak
Mohamed Hassanein Heikal	Mohamed Hassanein Heikal – Former Foreign Minister of Egypt.   Article 10/10/01: Regarding 9/11 "Bin Laden does not have the capabilities for an operation of this magnitude. When I hear Bush talking about al-Qaida as if it was Nazi Germany or the communist party of the Soviet Union, I laugh because I know what is there. Bin Laden has been under surveillance for years: every telephone call was monitored and al-Qaida has been penetrated by American intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, Saudi intelligence, Egyptian intelligence. They could not have kept secret an operation that required such a degree of organisation and sophistication."  http://www.guardian.co.uk
General Pervez Musharraf	General Pervez Musharraf – President of Pakistan and Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Army. Assumed power on October 12, 1999 after a coup d'état and assumed the title of President on June 20, 2001.   New Yorker Article 8/12/02: "Musharraf told me that he was still unconvinced that bin Laden was the main figure in the attacks. "I didn't think it possible that Osama sitting up there in the mountains could do it," he said. "He was perhaps the sponsor, the financier, the motivating force. But those who executed it were much more modern. They knew the U.S., they knew aviation. I don't think he has the intelligence or the minute planning. The planner was someone else." http://www.newyorker.com/   Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervez_Musharraf
General Mirza Aslam Beg	General Mirza Aslam Beg – Former Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Army.   Book 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA: "Many of us in this region believe that Osama or his al-Qaeda were not responsible for 11 September attacks in New York and Washington, yet the coalition led by United States is busy on ‘Afghan bashing,’ chasing objectives, which go much beyond Osama bin Laden. The information which is now coming up, goes to prove that involvement by the ‘rogue elements’ of the U.S. military and intelligence organization is getting more obvious. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda definitely do not have the knowhow and the capability to launch such operations involving such high precision coordination, based on information and expertise."

Christine Boutin	Christine Boutin – Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, France (appointed on 5/18/07).  Founder and leader of the French political party, Forum des républicains sociaux (Forum of Social Republicans, FRS).  Presidential candidate in 2002.   Former Deputy of the French National Assembly (equivalent to a U.S. Congressperson). Video interview with Karl Zéro 11/24/06: Question:  Do you think that Bush could be the instigator of the [9/11] attacks? Christine Boutin:  I think that it is possible. And this conviction is reinforced by the fact that the websites dealing with this issue are among the most popular on the Internet.  Personally, I feel so concerned about information and communication technologies and I say to myself that this mass expression, this voice of people cannot be totally wrong. ... I'm not telling you that I adhere to that position but let's say that, nevertheless, I'm questioning myself a bit on this question. [Alternative translation of Christine Boutin's remark. "I think that it's possible. And I think it all the more so because I know that the sites that are talking about these problems are sites that get the most traffic. As someone who is quite sensitive to the problem of new practices of news and communication, it seems to me that this expression of the masses, coming from the people, can't be completely without truth. ... I'm not telling you that I adhere to that position but let's say that, nevertheless, I'm questioning myself a bit on this question."] http://www.rue89.com and http://sfgate.com   Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Boutin   Blog: http://www.frs-ladroitehumaine.fr
