Ratired Army Officer April Gallop has filed a civil suit against former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and former US Air Force General Richard Myers, who was acting chairman of the joint chiefs on 9/11.

It alleges they engaged in conspiracy to facilitate the terrorist attacks by not warning those inside the Pentagon, contributing to injuries she and her two-month-old son incurred.

"The plaintiff alleges she has been denied government support since then, because she raised 'painful questions' about the inexplicable failure of military defenses at the Pentagon that day, and especially the failure of officials to warn and evacuate the occupants of the building when they knew the attack was imminent"

      But will say. Your either naive or an idiot if you accept the official government story.

      9/11 is one of the worst examples of manipulation on the part of government to instigate war to keep the military complex and its oil profits rolling. The attacks on the towers were known. But no war if there is no reason to go to war. They even admitted to lying about the premise of war with Iraq. If America wasn't in a war, then the economy really would fail.

      As for the pentagon and the plane that crashed in the field. Why not show the video evidence of the pentagon crash that they DO have, but keep classified. Not just the 3 fuzzy frames they did release. Why is there no fucking debris in the field were that other plane crashed? And also no massive amount of debris at pentagon.

      It could go on forever. But someone accepting the story put forward by the US war machine just gets to me. Try to be impartial and look at some of the bloody evidence.

      Edit: And saying "conspiracy" just tries the discredit an issue without taking a proper look at said issue. This is the government bending you over and you smiling, nodding, and asking for more.

      @kennymotown

      We never will. Too many powerful and important people could be implicated in this. Any judge to take this on would have to have balls of fucking steel, years of free time, and a damn clean personal history as to not be discredited in any way. Know any top ranking judges willing to throw their lives away?

      Maybe international court, but Bush and Cheney passed legislation in a public spending bill to make both of themselves immune to accusations of "War Crimes" Which would entail how they got started in unjust wars, which would cover 9/11.

      The case would take YEARS. And their immune.

      Think I'm off to start throwing darts at my Bush poster.

    • I disagree with the thrust of this. This tries to put Rumsfeld, Cheney and Air Force General Myers in bed with the terrorists. Trying to create another Pearl Harbor? This passes belief.

      Retired officer Gallop even refuses to admit that planes flew into building. I saw this myself. As most of us did. This was real.

      Having opened this can of worms I'll also point out that while terrorists acts were far from unknown at that point, and many involved planes, to my knowledge none had ever been used before to fly into buildings. Who'd a thunk it?

      Also our military defense wasn't inept. We COULD have shot these planes down. But if you were one that drives fighters would you obey an order to shoot down an unarmed civilian plane, full of American citizens, because the pentagon thought they knew what the intent was? What if they were wrong? Now? Possibly. Then? no way.

      I suspect the questions surround 9-11 will never end. It would be nice if an investigation could get to the bottom of all these conspiracy theories and finally lay them to rest. Or whatever other action would be required.

      You saw the plane connect w/ the Pentagon...
      I call bullshit... there is no video and no witness that witnessed the impact confirming it was a passenger plane.

      Rumsfeld and Cheney are why we're in this war in Iraq.

      http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1220-07.htm

      Don't be fooled. Cheney is sitting fat w/ Halliburton right now...

      Rumsfeld was the man to make it happen.

      As for the jets not shooting down these planes. It just so happened we were running training drills based on "plane hijackings" at the same time the planes were hijacked. The problem was that these jets did not know whether or not this was part of the training thus they could not act in time.

      As for the conspiracy theories, they will always exist because a proper investigation will never take place. The evidence does not add up in favor of our gov't and that's just plain as day...

      http://www.newamericancentury.org/

      Our entrance to Iraq was preplanned and if these terrorist attacks were real they were still instigated by the Clinton administration and fell right into place with the PNAC whose signators explain Bush's win in Florida, to Halliburton, and so on and so forth....

      it is protocol from before 9/11 that planes that do not respond to controllers are thought to be highjacked. jets are scrambled and if the plane does not respond to the jets or land wher ethe jets tell it to land it is PROTOCOL to shoot it down. ill bring up the video if oyu respond to this of the official who was with cheney at the time and when cheney is told, in intervals, of 5 to 10 minutes how far away the plane is from hitting cheney tells him not to do anything and let it happen. also all they need to do to shut people up about a plane hitting the pentagon is to show the video form the hotel where the control room saw the plane hit. boom that is all they need to show yet they repeatedly keep it classified so we do not know for sure if it was an explosion or a plane
