12 important 9/11 questions

Below is 12 important 9/11 questions that have not been truthfully answered IMO and I think they should. If we never get truthful answers I fear we may all soon regret it.

#1. Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day?

#2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?

#3. Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the schoolchildren?

#4. Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?

#5. 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?

#6. 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?

#7. 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?

#8. 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?

#9. What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?

#10 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?

#11. 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?

#12. 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?

Excellent questions one and all. We should all send this list of questions to our government representatives and to every news organization we can think of and DEMAND answers.

Nice compilation mrmulder. It's a shame that Bush and croonies will never have these questions put to them.

#2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?

Actually for a brief moment CNN did report 2 f-16's scrambled out of Washinton on its way to take out the 3rd hijacked plane but then never once spoke about it again. It was as if they where hushed not to report that and if you have noticed that plane somehow turned out to be the one, that crashed in a field away from any more civilian casualties. If you are gonna ask where is my source, well I am the source I heard it live on TV as I was watching this all unfold from my home in NJ.

Here is the only question I want answered,

Why has the surveillance tapes from around the Pentagon not been shown to the Public?

Simple question, I think, I haven't heard a legitimate answer to this. I seriously can not think of any reason they would not let the public see them, unless there really is not a plane there. I don't care about witness testimony, A Videotape will answer all my questions. There is no issue of National Security I can think of, except for the above mentioned about no plane. So Why? Am I the only one thinking this?

*Edit
Also, say they came out and showed them tomorrow, would you be more likely to believe it Now, or the days following 9-11? You know given editing capabilities and such....

Most of these questions have been asked about a gazillion times here on ATS. Seekerof even compiled a master index of 9/11 conspiracy theory topics at www.abovetopsecret.com... where you will find discussion on them. However, I have a comment on question number12:
#12. 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?

I had the very same questions about Jamie Gorelick who played a major role in obstructing effective intelligence gathering and sharing during the Clinton Administration. She should have been prosecuted, IMO, yet she sat on the 9/11 panel. Makes no sense to me.
