September 11 - US Government accused

A Portugal-based investigative journalist has presented THE NEWS with a
version of the September 11th attacks that has to date failed to attract the
attention of the international press. The report, compiled by an independent
inquiry into the September 11th, World Trade Centre attack, warns the
American public that the government's official version of events does not
stand up to scrutiny.

A group of military and civilian US pilots, under the chairmanship of
Colonel Donn de Grand, after deliberating non-stop for 72 hours, has
concluded that the flight crews of the four passenger airliners, involved in
the September 11th tragedy, had no control over their aircraft.

In a detailed press communiqué the inquiry stated: "The so-called terrorist
attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation carried out
against the USA, requiring the utmost professional military skill in
command, communications and control. It was flawless in timing, in the
choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles and in the
coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets."

The report seriously questions whether or not the suspect hijackers,
supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft, could have located a target
dead-on 200 miles from take off point. It further throws into doubt their
ability to master the intricacies of the instrument flight rules (IFR) in
the 45 minutes from take off to the point of impact. Colonel de Grand said
that it would be impossible for novices to have taken control of the four
aircraft and orchestrated such a terrible act requiring military precision
of the highest order.

A member of the inquiry team, a US Air Force officer who flew over 100
sorties during the Vietnam war, told the press conference: "Those birds
(commercial airliners) either had a crack fighter pilot in the left seat, or
they were being manoeuvred by remote control."
In evidence given to the enquiry, Captain Kent Hill (retd.) of the US Air
Force, and friend of Chic Burlingame, the pilot of the plane that crashed
into the Pentagon, stated that the US had on several occasions flown an
unmanned aircraft, similar in size to a Boeing 737, across the Pacific from
Edwards Air Force base in California to South Australia. According to Hill
it had flown on a pre programmed flight path under the control of a pilot in
an outside station.

Hill also quoted Bob Ayling, former British Airways boss, in an interview
given to the London Economist on September 20th, 2001. Ayling admitted that
it was now possible to control an aircraft in flight from either the ground
or in the air. This was confirmed by expert witnesses at the inquiry who
testified that airliners could be controlled by electro-magnetic pulse or
radio frequency instrumentation from command and control platforms based
either in the air or at ground level.
All members of the inquiry team agreed that even if guns were held to their
heads none of them would fly a plane into a building. Their reaction would
be to ditch the plane into a river or a field, thereby safeguarding the
lives of those on the ground.

A further question raised by the inquiry was why none of the pilots
concerned had alerted ground control. It stated that all pilots are trained
to punch a four-digit code into the flight control's transponder to warn
ground control crews of a hijacking - but this did not happen.
During the press conference Captain Hill maintained that the four airliners
must have been choreographed by an Airborne Warning and Control System
(AWACS). This system can engage several aircraft simultaneously by knocking
out their on-board flight controls. He said that all the evidence points to
the fact that the pilots and their crews had not taken any evasive action to
resist the supposed hijackers. They had not attempted any sudden changes in
flight path or nose-dive procedures - which led him to believe that they had
no control over their aircraft.

THE NEWS, in an attempt to further substantiate the potential veracity of
these findings, spoke to an Algarve-based airline pilot, who has more than
20 years of experience in flying passenger planes, to seek his views.
Captain Colin McHattie, currently flying with Cathay Pacific, agreed with
the independent commission's findings. However, he explained that while it
is possible to fly a plane from the ground, the installation of the
necessary equipment is a time-consuming process, and needs extensive
planning. THE NEWS will publish a full interview with Captain McHattie in
next week's edition.

The FBI also came in for criticism for the various pieces of contradictory
evidence it has published regarding the suspects. Questions are now being
asked as to how incorrect information was given out regarding the ID cards
of the suspects, and the seat numbers they supposedly occupied after
boarding the flights.

None of the suspects named by the FBI appeared on any of the official
passenger lists. A further point was how the FBI had managed to retrieve the
passport of one of the suspects amid the molten and twisted remains of
thousands of tons of steel and rubble brought about by the Twin Towers
collapse.

Dr. Paul Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, and
presently Senior Research Fellow at Stamford University, has lent his
support to the independent inquiry findings. He also claims that Osama Bin
Laden was not responsible for September 11th. The doctor has challenged
President Bush to make public the so-called "irrefutable evidence"
incriminating Bin Laden.
Colonel Donn de Grand said that if President Bush is lying it would not be
the first time that the American people had been mislead by its government.
He cited the recently published official government archives describing
President Roosevelt's duplicity in deceiving Americans about the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbour, which triggered the US entry into WWll.

He also highlighted the role of the country's government in misleading its
citizens in respect of the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, and the events that
brought about the Spanish American war in the late 19th, century. "Whilst
considering who committed this act of war on September 11th," he said,
"albeit Russia, China, an Islamic country or NATO, we must also consider
that the enemy may well be within the gates.

"Not for the first time the American public might be being mislead, by those
with ulterior motives, into lending its support to a war, this time against
Iraq, that has no bearing whatsoever on the interests of the people of the
USA."

So far the mainstream American news media has failed to publish or broadcast
any details regarding the independent inquiry. Similarly, the White House,
whilst having received a copy of the report, has remained silent on its
findings.
