Did GWB Ever Tell the Truth About 9/11?

[Carol Brouillet]

Thierry Meyssan gets some of his facts plain wrong, but there is some interesting stuff in this article... hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, though...

Did GWB Ever Tell the Truth About 9/11?
by Thierry Meyssan*

Thierry Meyssan started the international campaign that questioned the Bush version of the 9/11 attacks eight years ago. Today he recaps the issues for Odnako, a new Russian periodical but not before criticizing the media’s tight “iron curtain” around NATO member populations that isolates from the rest of world opinion. Under heavy media pressure, these populations still imagine that only fringe activists contest the official version of 9/11.

Meyssan also points up the gullibility of Westerners who believe the comic strip storyboard about how some 20 extremists could strike at the heart the world’s largest military empire.

Wow, just scanning this article I found this: "At about 08.00, Mr. Warren Buffett opened his annual benefit breakfast at Offutt AFB in Nebraska where he is based. Setting one precedent, he invited every top executive with an office in the WTC. Setting a second precedent, he hosted them on a USAF base, not an upscale hotel. Offutt AFB is headquarters to the US Strategic Command, which controls the nuclear deterrent. The guests had arrived the night before and slept on base." Is this true? the part about inviting every top executive from the WTC? And, is it a common practice for investors to have business meetings on air force bases? I will definitely have to read the whole article. Thx, Carol! ~ Camille --- On Tue, 11/3/09, Carol Brouillet <cbrou...@igc.org> wrote:

It's unfortunate that Meyssan makes so many broad claims without any references to facts.  For example --

"The missile penetrated one reinforced wall and detonated well inside the building. . . . The missile was necessarily picked up by at least 80 CCTV cameras."

There is virtually zero evidence that a missile hit the Pentagon, but much evidence that a large Boeing did, so to claim that a missile hit, as though it were fact, is simply baseless.  This makes one wonder about many of the other claims, also without any references.

For example, I haven't ever seen mention anywhere of "every top executive" from the WTC being invited to the Air Force Base (I'd be interested to see the reference for that claim), but some apparently were  --

A number of business leaders who would normally have been in the World Trade Center, were instead at a meeting hosted by Warren Buffett on September 11th at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska. That group included Anne Tatlock, CEO of Fiduciary Trust Inc., a company that occupied five floors on or above the 90th floor of the South Tower. ^{2   3}   (This is the same Air Force Base that George W. Bush would fly to later that day. It has an underground command center.) ⁴

One has to read this kind of essay with a grain of salt as much as it  may appear to be fascinating, were the many claims he makes true.

The problem then -- since Meyssan includes no references -- is that the reader has to do all their own research to see what the basis is for each of the claims, in which case they might as well write a whole new essay.
