There are Senior Military, Intelligence Service, Law Enforcement, and Government Officials, Engineers and Architects, Pilots and Aviation Professionals, Professors, Survivors and Family Members, and even Entertainment and Media Professionals, all who want an independent investigation into the events of 9/11.
I want one, too. There's a lot about the whole scene that bears closer scrutiny than it got.
And I'm convinced one of the most important factors keeping me and those who feel as I do from getting our inquiry, is the image that BS like this has hung on anyone who wants one.
People who can't make up their minds whether the government set off bombs in the basements of all three buildings or rigged incredibly rugged and well-coordinated millesecond-timed demolition charges on forty floors of both towers and building 7 prior to crashing jumbo jets into them for some reason,
people who think the US government set up an operation that makes Mission Impossible stunts look like high school football plays, ran it flawlessly in split second timing without rehearsal or trial, and kept several hundred people whose friends had been killed from talking about it afterwards, in full view of dozens of TV cameras and thousands of witnesses
people who are willing to accept two or three mutually exclusive explanations for various aspects of one incident
have torpedoed any possibility of a genuine inquiry into, say, the obvious and disturbing Saudi connections between the US government and the financiers of 9/11, the failure to uncover the US support team for the hijackers, the flying skills and false identities involved, the ineffectual response to what could very well have been a far more serious enemy attack (the Russians sounded a bit wistful in their commentary, according to observers), and so forth.
