The stunning news prompted FBI Director Robert Mueller to admit that some of the hijackers may have stolen identities of innocent citizens. In September 2002, Mueller told CNN twice that there is "no legal proof to prove the identities of the suicidal hijackers." After that admission a strange thing happened - nothing. No follow-up stories. No follow-up questions. There was dead silence and the story disappeared. It was almost as if no one wanted to know what had happened. In fact, the FBI didn't bother to change the names, backgrounds or photographs of the alleged 19 hijackers. It didn't even deny the news reports suggesting that the names and identities of at least six of the hijackers may be unknown. Mueller just left the door open.
Until now. Now the FBI is sticking with its original story - regardless of whether photographs displayed of the suspected Sept. 11 terrorists were of people who never boarded those planes and are very much alive. FBI spokesman Bill Carter simply brushes off as false the charges from news reports that the FBI misidentified some of the Sept. 11 terrorists. Carter says they got the names right and it doesn't matter whether the identities were stolen. This comes as a complete about-face from Mueller's comment that there might be some question about the names of the Sept. 11 terrorists because they might have been operating under stolen identities.
They may or may not have been six misidentified hijackers, but the fact remains that the evidence still shows it was the work of al qaida, and the majority of the hijackers (including the ringleaders) were correctly identified.
Even the FBI says there is no evidence to link the above men to the 9/11 hijackings.
During an April 19 speech delivered to the Common wealth Club in San Francisco, FBI director Mueller flatly stated:
[The hijackers] “left no paper trail … In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper — either here in the United States or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere — that mentioned any aspect of the Sept. 11 plot. [iv]
Almost instantaneously after 9/11, the government had stated that there was firm evidence not only that these 19 Muslim men were agents of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda “network” but also that they were indeed the individuals who hijacked the doomed flights on Sept.
You are deliberately misrepresenting this as intentional impropriety to use as innuendo to support your claim "the 9/11 commission was a lie", which is being intellectually dishonest.
When I say that these conspiracy websites are putting out bad information for their own self serving ends, you're not proving me wrong, becuase I know you didn't come up with this yourself. You had to have gotten this bit from one of those con artists. You didn't spend any money getting any of this, I hope.

Just from memory, yet another Truther deception. Mueller is only said to have made those remarks, though no confirmed validation. More importantly, he made comments in Sept 2001, but reported on a website in Sept 2002, misdating and inferring it was contemporary.
It took a few weeks to nail down the identities of the hijackers in Sept 2001, given the commonness of names, incorrect information from various sources, name changes, etc.
Much Truther pseudo-information is based on early days confusion and media reporting errors. Even when retracted or corrected, iused forever.
A national pastime, finding mistakes in the Official Story and MSM reporting. But 7+ years later, still no paper trail of US complicity, or planned demolition, etc.
And still on the Net there are websites and DVD proving it was No Planes, missiles, holographs, etc.
A big growth sub-industry now. File under Kiddie Konspiracy Theory.

A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in several forms: a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba. b. We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere in the Cuban waters. We could arrange to cause such incident in the vicinity of Havana or Santiago as a spectacular result of Cuban attack from the air or sea, or both. The presence of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating the intent of the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the ship was taken under attack. The nearness to Havana or Santiago would add credibility especially to those people that might have heard the blast or have seen the fire. The US could follow up with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to "evacuate" remaining members of the non-existent crew. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.

If you fell for the FEMA report then I am sure you also believed the NIST report, as the same people edited them both. Until you open your mind to what really happened on 911, there is no point in continuing this debate.

The 911-commission report, the FEMA report and NIST report are fairy tales authored to make people like yourself feel safe and comfy when you go beddy-bye at night. You need to discover the truth by reading all sides to the 911 story instead of only the disinformation.

So everyone including me who is looking for the truth about what really happened on 911 or are asking questions are “No Planes, missiles, holographs, etc.” conspiracy theorists. I have been researching 911 for years before I open an account on ATS and I can assure you that you are wrong. Your comeback to my response is typical for disinformationists and the like. As usual, your post has no sources for your theories, or alleged facts.

funny you started this thread. I commented in the other thread about 9/11 and the Fresno morning show video, that I had sent that video on to friends and family, and of course got back a snide remark from a family member, here it is:
" Please! There is not overwhelming evidence that suggests controlled demolitions on any of the buildings. Not now not ever! By the way, the earth’s temperature has been changing since day one, it’s called the Sun. And Al Gore is a moron. I think that bout cover’s it. Your dear Brother In-Law, Chuck"
I have sent really good info to people, all with just about the same response. I used to have hope that people could read something and change their old ideas, now, I've just about given up. Almost.
Forgot to mention, out of 8 people I sent that video to, that was the only response I got back at all.

It at least shows what an unbiased audience does when presented with both sides of the story.

Time for a reality check, friend- the "truth" as you seem to regard it isn't the truth. It's a SUSPICION. Moreover,it's a suspicion based not upon the truth, but speculation being used to fill the large gaps in your knowledge of the events of 9/11. Are you a demolitions expert? Are you a materials engineer? Have you ever actually set foot inside the WTC? Did you talk to anyone who was actually there and saw what happened with their own eyes? Did you even read the 9/11 commission report?
I'll wager it's all a big, fat NO, so when you try to claim you're all oh so wise and in the know when the entire summary of your knowledge comes from con artists running those conspiracy websites trying to get paranoid people to buy their books, DVDs, t-shirts, baseball caps, etc, well, let's just say that it's sorely lacking in credibility.

Talking about how 9/11 was a planned, controlled demolition is a passion of mine (although obviously I can't speak of it often or everyone would have me commited lol)
I've convinced dozens, if not hundreds, of people to at very least think about the implications of it being an inside job.
My main point is to talk about the site ae911truth.org www1.ae911truth.org...
[side note: for some odd reason when I typed it in a "www4", then a "www1" was added... no idea why]
This is a site in which nearly 700 architects and professionals state the facts about 9/11.
A few facts I point out are:
* airplane fuel burns at 1100 degrees but it takes over 3,000 degrees to melt steel.
* high-tech, engineered nano-thermite explosives were found in the wreckage of all three buildings.
* Three buildings fell, two planes hit... do the math.
All I want to do is get the idea that something fishy is going on. I never expect an immediate answer, although many people immediately say something like, "Gosh! I always knew there was something weird about that! [9/11]"
*
hang in there peops! We must never forget - 9/11 was a planned, controlled demolition! Justice and truth are in the balance and this is the perfect way to show it.

If one of the parties in question is the government I don't consider the NIST report relevant (aka I don't trust them).
If we can't really trust what any specific group is saying, including most conspiracy websites, etc - we need to look at verifiable facts.
Here's what I base my 'truth' on:
[again from www.ae911truth.org - architects and engineers questioning the facts]
As your own eyes witness — WTC Building #7 (a 47-story high-rise not hit by an airplane) exhibits all the characteristics of a classic controlled demolition with explosives: (and some non-standard characteristics)
1. Rapid onset of “collapse”
NOT TRUE
2. Sounds of explosions at ground floor - a full second prior to collapse
NOT TRUE
3. Symmetrical “collapse” – through the path of greatest resistance – at free-fall acceleration
NOT TRUE
4. Imploded, collapsing completely, and landed mostly in its own footprint
NOT TRUE
5. Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic dust clouds
DOES NOT OCCUR IN CONTROLLED DEMOLITIONS
6. Several tons of molten metal reported by numerous highly-qualified witnesses
NOT TRUE.
7. Chemical signature of Thermite (high tech incendiary) found in solidified molten metal, and dust samples by physics professor Steven Jones, PhD.
NOT TRUE
8. FEMA finds rapid oxidation and intergranular melting on structural steel samples
NOT TRUE
9. Expert corroboration from the top European Controlled Demolition professional
NOT TRUE
10. Fore-knowledge of “collapse” by media, NYPD, FDNY
TRUE.
1 OF 10. Nice Job.
(By the way, Big Unit, I have noticed Dr. gage and many of those guys do not seem like paid actors...)

Hey Brad Jam...er uh, Big Unit, since you just registered your brand new account and you are all over the 9/11 threads like white on rice polluting them with your unsubstantiated opinion, why don't you go ahead and give us some idea of exactly WHY said people don't come off as intelligent?
Richard Gage and the whole AE 9/11 Truth group have provided us all with a lot of scientific evidence. Your debunking attempts, and I'm referring to the ones in threads that don't get locked or removed by mods, have been based solely on your opinion. You fit right in the group with GenRadak, WMD_2008, etc.
