Zogby poll shows interest in new Septmber 11 investigation

A recent Zogby poll found that over 70 million Americans distrust the official explanation of the September 11 attacks. 42% believe there has been some kind of coverup; 45% believe that Congress on an international tribunal should investigate the attacks again.

An August, 2004 poll showed that nearly half of New Yorkers believed that U.S. officials consciously allowed the attacks to happen, and 2/3 of New Yorkers want a new investigation of the events.

The report of the September 11 Commission left much to be desired in terms of White House culpability, and omitted information about the collapse of WTC Building 7.

Shades of deceit...
That "... the Commission blames nobody ..." is reminiscent of the sham that was the White Paper on Vietnam: "Above all, the war in Vietnam is not a spontaneous and local rebellion against the established government."
One would think that it no longer matters to the powers that be that you cannot fool all the people all the time; all that matters is that you fool enough of the people when it matters most (and if you really piss off some of the people at the same time, well that's just great too...).

Is there anyone out there that really believe that there is any chance that there will be another 9/11 investigation? We were lucky that the president allowed one fake one. The reason why there will be no more investigation into 9/11 is that the president did not want the one that is, and the entire press let him get away with opposing a commission to study what went down on that day. And he has never had to answer why he did not form is own. Now do the math!!!
