9/11 'myths' to be dismissed
A member of the 9/11 commission says several "urban myths" about the 2001 attacks will be dispelled Thursday at the panel's last scheduled public hearing.
One such myth is the widely held belief that the U.S. military was ready to carry out orders to shoot down civilian aircraft if necessary.

The government has long denied that two days after the 9/11 attacks, the three were allowed to fly. Two days after the Sept. 11 attacks, with most of the nation's air traffic still grounded, a small jet landed at Tampa International Airport, picked up three young Saudi men and left.

Did al-Qaida trainee warn FBI before 9/11?
More than a year before 9/11, a Pakistani-British man told the FBI an incredible tale: that he had been trained by bin Laden’s followers to hijack airplanes and was now in America to carry out an attack. The FBI questioned him for weeks, but then let him go home, and never followed up. Now, the former al-Qaida insider is talking. In March, 2000, Niaz Khan said he was down and out, waiting tables in a curry house north of London, overwhelmed by gambling debts and increasingly drawn to the message of a radical local imam. The imam extolled Osama bin Laden and the rewards of dying for jihad.

Elementary 9-11
Attention, loyal Americans. Do you believe in your country? Do you believe what your leaders say? Do you believe in the truth?
The greatest tragedy in American history occurred on September 11, 2001. The nation we love was attacked. Our leaders told us a tale of what happened. It was a lie.

Your government trained and funded Al-Qaeda
Eleventh public hearing of the 9/11 Commission, with testimony by Fmr. Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Wind the video on to three minutes before the end to hear the family members of the victims chastise the whitewash commission, where a family member of a victim says, "remmeber this, your government trained and funded Al-Qaeda" - as the rest of the 9/11 families applause.
