Set up over a year after the event, refused access to the president's daily briefings, not testified to under oath by Bush or Cheney, the 9/11 Commission was termed a "cover-up" by former member Max Cleland, who resigned. His replacement declared that 9/11 was "a 30 year conspiracy". Their first report did not mention WTC7.

Official Narrative

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, a.k.a. the 9-11 Commission was set up "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks", on November 27, 2002 after a lot of lobbying from the Jersey Girls. was established on November 27, 2002, by President George W. Bush and the United States Congress, with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger initially appointed to head the commission.[1] However, Kissinger resigned only weeks after being appointed, because he would have been obliged to disclose the clients of his private consulting business.[2] Former U.S. Senator George Mitchell was originally appointed as the vice-chairman, but he stepped down on December 10, 2002, not wanting to sever ties to his law firm.[3] On December 15, 2002, Bush appointed former New Jersey governor Tom Kean to head the commission.[4] Lee H. Hamilton was vice chairman.

Forgone conclusion?

Commission executive director Philip Zelikow and his long time associate Ernest May started work on a detailed outline of the final report - containing chapter headings, subheadings, and sub-subheadings - in March 2003. Zelikow showed it to chairman Tom Keen and vice-chairman Lee Hamilton and they approve of it, but all three decided that - to prevent accusation of the commission being a foregone conclusion - it should be kept secret from the commission’s staff. When the commission members are given copies of it, over a year later, they are alarmed. Some circulate a parody entitled “The Warren Commission Report — Preemptive Outline” which has a chapter heading “Single Bullet: We Haven’t Seen the Evidence Yet. But Really. We’re Sure.”[5]

Membership

Max Cleland - Resigned

Max Cleland, former U.S. Senator resigned from the commission in December 2003, stating that "the White House has played cover-up"[6]

Bob Kerrey - "A 30 Year Conspiracy"

When asked about the commission by WeAreChangeLA, Bob Kerrey stated that 9/11 was "a thirty year conspiracy", perhaps an allusion to "the cabal".[7]

John Farmer - "There was an agreement not to tell the truth"

The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, John Farmer – who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry – said “At some level of the government, at some point in time... there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened“.[8] He also said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described... The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years... This is not spin. This is not true.”[9]

The two co-chairs - "Set up to fail"

Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, have written that the government established the Commission in a way that ensured that it would fail. In their book Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission wrote that "there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail."[10]

Blaming the CIA

In a 2008 article in the New York Times, the chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission, Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton wrote a joint article, "Stonewalled by the CIA" in which they complain about the CIA's failure to answer their questions for evidence - focusing particularly on the videos of torture sessions which the CIA reportedly destroyed. They write: "Those who knew about those videotapes — and did not tell us about them — obstructed our investigation".[11]

Report

Full article: 9-11/Commission/Report

The report's conclusions have been widely dismissed by serious investigators. The commission's original report failed to even mention WTC7. When asked whether this omission was deliberate, and if so, why, the chairman said he "couldn't remember". The commission wrote that "the U.S. government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. Ultimately the question is of little practical significance."[12] [Citation Needed]
