Rebuttal: Flight 93 Video

Jeff:

I feel it important to rebut a video you've posted titled, 'No Plane' Says
Shanksville Mayor' as I feel it's very misleading:

I believe our goal regarding 911 is to seek the truth, not sensationalism. I
feel it hurts our cause when web sites make claims they state as fact, when
the conclusions presented are little more than speculation. One should always
make the distinction or your credibility will sour with readers. Additionally,
I find it republsive to see web sites with this type of hype: 'Da plane! Da
plane! Find da plane! Americans died a horrible death that day and this kind
of trash is offensive.

There were many aspects of Flight 93 that bothered me, so I went to
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in August 2005, and did my own on-site
investigation. It was a long haul from Sacramento, California. I also asked a
friend of mine who is an appellate attorney out of Washington, D.C., to meet
me there as a witness to my interviews. Dane and I taped all of the interviews
so there would be no doubt as to what was said.

I've done on-sites with OKC, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 and others. Going to
these sites personally gives you the opportunity to not only interview people
who were involved, but gives you a better visual experience of the events of
that day. I stood in front of the Pentagon on November 11, 2001, exactly two
months after it was hit and I can tell you - what you saw on TV was nothing
compared to what the structure looked like up close.

The problem I have with this video is that it proves nothing. It is
speculation using the cockpit tapes. Let me explain my position.

After interviewing eye witnesses, there is no doubt in my mind that Flight 93
crashed in that field. I can also tell you that the good folks who live in
that area highly resent a lot of what has been written about that day -
especially claims that no plane crashed. There are too many people with
nothing to gain by lying about what they saw. The residents in Somerset,
Shanksville and the surrounding burgs were angry because they feel certain
individuals came into their towns and took advantage of them and tried to make
them into liars. These God-fearing folks out there were very emotionally
affected by what happened and I'm talking about EMTs as well as witnesses.

In reading those interviews, you will see that Mayor Stull in his own words
has been exploited and was ready to sue one German film company until they
removed the material on their site about him.

In my investigative report you will see that I debunk some of the claims out
there taken as truth on the Internet because there are simply no FACTS to
support them. One thing that might surprise people is that pieces of the plane
were still being coughed up out of this strip-mined soil even while I was
there. Another fact that raises huge red flags: there are several boxes of
remains squirreled away in a mausoleum (the location is "secret"). As I said
in my report, I believe testing could show missile residue, but there's no way
of knowing what any testing found without a real investigation and a grand
jury.

My on site investigation can be read here along with the transcriptions of
those interviews:

My lingering question was: Did the passengers bring down the plane or was it
shot down by our military. A few months after I returned from this on site
investigation, I had a lengthy phone conversation with one of my dearest
friends, Brigadier General Ben Partin, U.S.A.F. (Ret). Ben is no conspiracy
wacko; he is one of the most decent, honorable people I've ever had the honor
of knowing. When I brought up this issue, Ben said he was at a luncheon for
retired military officers and Col. Donn de Grand-Pre was there. He also said
that he had known Col. de Grand-Pre for twenty years and never knew him to lie
about anything. Ben asked Col. de Grand-Pre face to face about the shoot down
of Flight 93 and the response was: Yes, he interviewed the pilot who shot down
Flight 93 and there's no question whatsoever that Flight 93 was deliberately
shot down in a no win situation. Once again, the only way to absolutely
confirm this to the satisfaction of the American people and the families who
lost loved ones on Flight 93 is by a grand jury with subpoena power.

Another major claim now taken as truth: Flight 93 landed at the
Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport, the passengers deplaned, kidnapped,
but no one knows where they went. I filed a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act)
request with the FAA to obtain the take off and landing records for September
11, 2001. As expected, I got the shuffle and filed a lawsuit:

I was successful in prevailing and all of the documents I requested were
coughed up. They are scanned in this column:

http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd232.htm

There is no question in my mind that Flight 93 never landed at
Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport. The one press released issued by
Mayor White was done in mass confusion and the records do not support this
theory.

There is so much excellent investigative material on credible web sites about
September 11, 2001, but there is also a plethora of junk. I'm convinced some
of it is agent provocateurs who are deliberately throwing out red herrings to
mislead people and damage the credibility of those who have done really fine
work on 911. In all my 911 columns, I have linked to what I consider the best
investigative work and videos.

I do not claim to be the last word on 911 by any means, but if your readers
are interested, they can read my many columns on 911, including the ones about
Enron and 911 on my web site here:
