Dear Families and Friends of the Victims of 9/11/01,

You who were closest to whose who were killed in the events of September 11, 2001 know more acutely than anyone else the losses that were suffered that day.

You knew and in many instances loved, one to one, individuals who were among those killed in the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, or in the Pentagon, or aboard American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93--a total of 3185 victims that day. You may still be seeking answers about the unprecedented or inexplicable losses you've undergone.

Who are we who write to you now?

We're a group of researchers and broadcasters who have shared and brought out information about the events of "`9/11'" for almost two years. Some of us have written books about the horrific subject. Some of us have hosted TV and radio series on the subject. Some of us have produced videos and CDs and many of us have written articles for online publications on the subject. Some of us knew individuals who died on 9/11/01. Some of us know family members who lost relatives on that day. All of us share an appalled outrage toward the brutal loss of life on September 11, 2001. We regard the events of "`9/11'" as the greatest crime of this new century. We believe that many crucial questions still need to answered about it.

We write to you now because two, linked efforts to cover up this crime and mislead the public are now much in the news. On July 24, 2003 a Report of nearly 900 pages from the House and Senate panels that investigated 9/11/01 for months in 2002 was finally released to the public.

At the same time, the supposedly independent National Commission on Terrorist Attacks, headed by former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean, a Republican, and former Indiana Congressman Lee Hamilton, a Democrat, is continuing its hearings.

Both the Report and the Commission attribute the atrocities of 9/11/01 to `hijackers' and `terrorists' from al-Qaida whom we believe could not have committed those crimes alone, if at all. Physical facts that well cite for you prove the crimes of 9/11/01 needed far more powerful perpetrators than the indicted 19 Arabs could have been.

The Report also blames failures by the `intelligence community' of the U.S. Government and Bush Administration for allowing the attacks. `As a result, the community missed opportunities to disrupt the Sept. 11 plot by denying entry or detaining would-be hijackers,' it states. The Report thus echoes a July 9, 2003 witness before the Commission, Rohan Gunaratna, head of terrorism research at the Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies in Singapore. According to an Associated Press story, Gunaratna said: `"You knew the intention of al-Qaida was to kill American people where they could be found, but still you did not act, and you paid a very heavy price for it."'

The Report also attributes more funding from Saudi Arabian sources to the "hijackers." One named supporter of two of the 19, Omar al-Bayoumi, `had access to seemingly unlimited funding from Saudi Arabia,' the Report says. The Report thus echoes recent remarks by John Lehman, one of 10 members of the Commission on Terrorist Attacks: `"There's little doubt that much of the funding of terrorist groups --whether intentional or unintentional-- is coming from Saudi sources."' It also echoes allusions by the Washington Post on July 25 to one CIA memo that `there was "incontrovertible evidence" that Saudi individuals provided financial assistance to al-Qaida operatives in the United States.' The Post suggests that this CIA memo reveals `what role some officials of Saudi Arabia may have played in sustaining the 19 terrorists who commandeered four airplanes and flew them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.'

The fundamental problem with belief in the Report and the Commission and almost all media's coverage of them is that the events of 9/11/01 could not have happened as the Report, Commission and almost all media continue to present them. Huge pieces of physical evidence disprove the accounts and explanations that Government officials and almost all media have given since the morning of "`9/11.'" By ignoring this evidence, the Report and the Commission further spin an Official Story that's been the pretext for the "`War on Terrorism'" and the consequent deaths of tens of thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq who could not have had any role in the atrocities which killed your loved ones.

The Report, the Commission, and all media who ignore the enormous holes in the Official Story thus disserve and disrespect you surviving families and friends most of all.

We'd like now to present you with 8 pieces of the evidence that we've promised.

These pieces relate either to physical impossibilities or to logical implausabilties in the Official Story as that Story addresses the U.S. military's unprecedented lack of response, the hijacked airliners, the crash into the Pentagon, and the collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings, on 9/11/01.

We hope that they'll be helpful to your efforts for truth, justice and eventual peace of mind.
