GW Bush on 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
Robert Lederman
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate
outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the
11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the
terrorists themselves, away from the guilty." GW Bush speaking
before the UN GeGeneral Assembly 11/10/2001
When President Bush spoke of "outrageous conspiracy theories"
he was for the first time acknowledging something of great significance.
There are informed viewpoints completely missing from the propaganda war
being relentlessly waged on Americans about 9/11 and its aftermath,
viewpoints which are as opposite from the official story as it is
possible to get.
The Bush administrations' official story has three basic premises. To
briefly summarize, the first is that Islamic terrorists based in
Afghanistan who hate American freedom plotted and executed an attack on
America - an attack which the U.S. government had no prior knowledge of
nor any connection to. The second premise is that in order to wage and
win a war on terrorism we must invade Afghanistan and every other nation
harboring, funding or otherwise supporting terrorists and that a
simultaneous suspension of domestic civil liberties is necessary for
internal security. The third basic premise is that our government is all
good while theirs is the very personification of evil, the
"evil-doers" as President Bush likes to call them.
The "conspiracy theories" Bush is referring to similarly have
three basic premises and many divergent subsets. The first is that the
attack was known about (and possibly, planned) by various elements of the
U.S. government before 9/11 and was allowed to take place in order to
bring about certain conditions, including the suspension of our
guaranteed civil liberties. The second premise is that even if bin Laden
and the al Queda network based in Afghanistan were immediately
responsible for the attack that those supporting, funding and protecting
them are not for the most part based in Afghanistan but are in fact
closely connected to the Bush administration and to the allies President
Bush has taken such efforts to rally to our side. The third premise is
that a U.S. built oil pipeline through Afghanistan which has been in the
planning stages for more than a decade is the real goal of the war and
that a U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was in the works long before
September 11th.
What makes these alternative viewpoints, "conspiracy theories"?
It certainly isn't a lack of evidence.
In the American criminal justice system there are three basic kinds of
evidence; direct, circumstantial and exculpatory.
Direct evidence of a crime might include a confession, fingerprints, DNA
samples, credible witnesses or a surveillance tape proving guilt beyond
any reasonable doubt. Circumstantial evidence is anything that lends
credence to a defendant being guilty but in itself is not sufficient to
prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Exculpatory evidence on the other
hand disproves a defendants' guilt or contradicts other evidence proving
their guilt. In a recent NYC case involving exculpatory evidence, a
homeless man charged with a vicious sidewalk assault on a tourist was
found to be on a store surveillance tape recorded at the same time the
assault took place. In the American system of criminal law prosecutors
are required to share all exculpatory evidence with the defense.
The official story as told by the Bush administration and the U.S.
corporate media is constructed of "evidence" the government
frankly admits would not be admissible in any court of law. If anything,
the Bush administrations' version of events is itself a very weakly
constructed "conspiracy theory" challenged at every turn by an
enormous amount of exculpatory evidence, much of it from the Bush
administration itself. No wonder Bush insists on trials by military
tribunals for suspected terrorists, trials in which virtually none of the
evidence will be revealed to the defendants or their Bush-appointed
defense attorneys.
It's absurd to claim that such trials will have any similarity to those
at Nuremburg after WWII. The accused Nazis were given every opportunity
to mount a full defense and were directly confronted by hundreds of
witnesses for the prosecution who they were able to fully
cross-examine.
There is one very striking similarity to Nuremberg however. Like today's
accused terrorists, the Nazis were funded and supplied by some of
Americas' wealthiest businessmen including GW Bush's grandfathers who
operated Wall Street banks, shipping companies and other businesses as
fronts for the Nazis [1]. Osama bin Laden, the Taliban and the largest
sources of financing for terrorism are also intimately connected to the
Bush family and to Wall Street, to some of Americas' leading corporations
and to members of both Bush administrations.
The need for complete control of all information and media coverage along
with a 24 hour a day propaganda effort to depict support for the Bush
administration as a patriotic duty becomes obvious once one has even
briefly considered the exculpatory evidence. Not only might it be
difficult to convict the so-called terrorists in a legitimate court of
law but support for either the war or the Bush administration would be
virtually impossible once the full facts were known.
Nevertheless, being a loyal American I must support the Presidents'
position in the war on terrorism with one additional point. The American
people should hold President Bush to his own professed standard as
explained in the following quote.
In his remarks, the president again laid out what the White House called
the Bush Doctrine. "If you harbor terrorists, you are terrorists. If
you train or arm a terrorist, you are a terrorist. If you feed a
terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a terrorist, and you will be held
accountable by the United States and our friends." NY TIMES
11/22/2001 Bush Says War May Go Beyond Afghan Border
In other words, the President, the CIA, his father and many of their
business partners, cabinet appointees and so-called allies are - based on
the President's own words - terrorists. Only by bringing them to justice
can we ever hope to win the war on terrorism.
