"I will not stand for it. ... Anything that has to do with 9/11, we have to see it —- anything. There are a lot of theories about 9/11, and as long as there is any document out there that bears on any of those theories, we're going to leave questions unanswered. And we cannot leave questions unanswered."


- Thomas Kean, chairman of the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 2001 attacks, about the White House continuing to withhold key documents from the investigation, and that they will be forced to issue subpoenas to obtain them. Lest you think this is a partisan publicity stunt, Kean is the former Republican governor of New Jersey.

When Bush signed the legislation establishing the commission, he said that the "investigation should carefully examine all the evidence and follow all the facts, wherever they lead."

According to Larry Klayman, chairman of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch "This Administration is the most secretive of our lifetime, even more secretive than the Nixon Administration. They don't believe the American people or Congress have any right to information."

In all these 9/11 investigations, why don't they just call Orrin Hatch to tell what he knows? It was Hatch who first tipped the DC press that Bin Laden and his network were responsible for the 9/11 plane hijackings -- within a few hours of the first plane hitting the WTC.

In this MSNBC article written in 1998 soon after the Al-Qaeda bombings of the African embassies, Hatch is quoted:

Indeed, to this day, those involved in the decision to give the Afghan rebels access to a fortune in covert funding and top-level combat weaponry continue to defend that move in the context of the Cold War. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a senior Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee making those decisions, told my colleague Robert Windrem that he would make the same call again today even knowing what bin Laden would do subsequently. “It was worth it,” he said.

“Those were very important, pivotal matters that played an important role in the downfall of the Soviet Union,” he said.
