Seven CIA veterans have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and have called for a new investigation. “I think at simplest terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke,” said Raymond McGovern, 27-year veteran of the CIA, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates during the seventies. “There are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason they’re unanswered is because this administration will not answer the questions,” he said.
In his blurb for 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out,” edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott, McGovern wrote: “It has long been clear that the Bush-Cheney administration cynically exploited the attacks of 9/11 to promote its imperial designs. But the present volume confronts us with evidence for an even more disturbing conclusion: that the 9/11 attacks were themselves orchestrated by this administration precisely so they could be thus exploited. If this is true, it is not merely the case, as the Downing Street memos show, that the stated reason for attacking Iraq was a lie. It is also the case that the whole “war on terror” was based on a prior deception."
William Christison, a 29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis also describes the 9/11 Commission Report as a “joke” and offers even more outspoken criticism. In a 2006 audio interview he said, "We very seriously need an entirely new very high level and truly independent investigation of the events of 9/11. I think you almost have to look at the 9/11 Commission Report as a joke and not a serious piece of analysis at all.”

Personally I am staggered at the consequences of what it means if it was an inside job. Are you aware of any Islamic sources which say it was such an inside job. Personally Im not.
Last year especially I looked into 911 in an awful lot of detail & I believe without a shadow of doubt that it was essentially an inside-job. If we needed more evidence than what is on offer in this case to convict criminals, there'd hardly be a successful prosecution in history. I haven't any knowledge of Islamic sources; virtually all I've gleaned has been from American sites & videos. An interesting quick one from Dutch television, though, if you want a quick look at how obvious this all is. That's the thing...we imagine these conspiracy things should be almost impenetrably mysterious to figure out, but that is simply ourselves making things more complicated than they are. Like, for instance, the US authorities actually claim that they got onto the trail of the hijackers identities through finding one of their passports on the street outside the Twin Towers!
Anyway, the 3 minute Dutch video here, though remember this is just dipping one's toe in the water. Very good Scholars for Truth site here.
