Jesse Ventura, the former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler, accompanied a state senator to Arizona’s 9/11 Memorial on Thursday to press his claims that the government isn’t telling the truth about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.“I think it’s growing and growing with the population that more and more of us are questioning what happened that day, and we’re also looking to find out if the truth was withheld from us,” Ventura said. “And the more you study it, the more difficult for me it becomes to believe what my government told me.”
Ventura said he finds it absurd that the United States entered into two wars since 9/11 but has yet to charge Osama bin Laden with the attacks.
“The government’s theory is that 19 Islamic terrorists armed with box cutters defeated our multibillion-dollar air defense system, all while conspiring with a bearded guy in a cave in Afghanistan,” Ventura said. “I find that far-fetched.”

I haven't come to a finality of conclusion of what I think yet, but at the very least I am HIGHLY suspicious of their "official" versions of what happened.

I like Jesse Ventura's politics, but when it comes to 9/11 Truth he's wacky. Even people like Ron Paul who acknowledge the military industrial complex don't believe this garbage. Of course I'm going to get slammed for even saying this, because people in the 9/11 Truth movement can't say anything remotely intelligent and instead spout: "you'll see!" or 'you're a neocon, fascist fool"...which is just an extension of why I don't take it seriously in the slightest along with all the scientific/forensic evidence. So as someone said before, Jesse is being a hypocrite in this regard, and if he'd not run his mouth about crazy stuff people would actually take him seriously enough to view the libertarian principals that he stands on seriously.
Oh, and by the way I'm a Libertarian, that is disgusted by how a few people with vivid imaginations can make the Libertarian cause be labeled as crazy, when really it's what this nation was founded on.
“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

I think Jesse Ventura is a true Patriot.
The questions he asks are all valid, and there are even more compelling questions he could have asked..
Like 'Why would the Mayor of NY be oh so quick to have all the evidence removed and sent to China for processing in industrial applications ?'
or 'Why did the city's emergency bunker set up shop in another building the night before 9/11 ?' (their old location was.. building 7..)
Jesse for Prez

The cover up of 9/11 is...hold on everybody...that the government failed, just like it did with Katrina, I don't see any investigations into that, and just like with Katrina the government tried to cover up it's failures with information dodging.

To address his point that since Osama hasn't been charged there must be something fishy going on,
I'm thinking just because Osama took credit for Al Qaeda planning the attacks does not mean that he himself planned them. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admitted to masterminding the 9/11 attacks, along with 50 other terrorist attacks, so how could we charge Osama when we have someone telling us that THEY did it?
It doesn't mean that 9/11 was a coverup though. That's just bad reasoning.
Al-Qaida No. 3 says he planned 9/11
