united call for an independent 9-11 truth commission by 9-11 Emegency National Network - August 08, 2002 |
||||
| The world has experienced eight very difficult months since the attacks of September 11th, yet today the causes of that tragedy remain unclear. Americans demand and deserve the right to live secure from fear of future such attacks, yet as citizens we have been kept ignorant and powerless to address the threats against us. Credible sources have made serious allegations that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of the events of September 11th, yet these allegations have not been investigated in an open and independent manner. Most troubling is that it is these hidden facts which form the basis of U.S. foreign and domestic policy today.
As American citizens, we cannot allow serious questions regarding the events of September 11th to drop from public view. As witnessed in the Enron case, too often the perpetrators of crimes against Americans escape the full light of justice. It is our duty to make certain that in this case the truth will out. Although we are encouraged to find that there are members of Congress pursuing congressional investigations, we call for the immediate establishment of an Independent 9-11 Truth Commission, charged with the calm, determined, and open investigation of the facts related to the tragedies of September 11th, 2001. We call for the establishment of an Independent 9-11 Truth Commission to determine and detail the facts. How and by whom were the attacks of September 11th perpetrated? What knowledge did the Bush administration possess of the attacks before September 11th? What was the history of the relationship between the Taliban government, Al Qaeda, and the Clinton and Bush administrations? For such a commission to be truly independent it must be composed of individuals renowned for their reputations for honesty and integrity. Such individuals might be found among the members of the judiciary, among international human rights leaders, and especially among the families of the victims of September 11th. We are united in announcing this call for an Independent 9-11 Truth Commission to the American people and to our elected officials. We will not rest until American policy, foreign and domestic, is based upon verifiable and established facts. Democracy demands no less. |
