The US attorney’s office has just agreed to take another look at who did 9/11.
The accepted view is that a handful of Muslim fanatics trained in U.S. flying schools commandeered four commercial passenger planes and aimed two of them at the World Trade Center, one at the Pentagon, with the fourth probably headed for the White House. The extent of destruction at the World Trade Center has made many architects, engineers, and other professionals believe that bombs had been pre-planted there, causing the horrific and extensive destruction that took 3000 lives.
It may now be the duty of a grand jury to look at evidence culled from eyewitness accounts, video, and laboratory evidence that insists some of the buildings were laced with explosives.
This newspaper was a witness to the start of this new investigation when a group calling itself the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry visited the WestView offices after they had delivered a petition to the United States Attorney on April 10 of this year.

Evidence at odds with government accounts of the destruction of three World Trade Center buildings on Sept. 11, 2001, may be, or soon will be, in the hands of a federal Special Grand Jury, according to lawyers seeking an investigation by that entity.
The office of United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York said in a letter that it had reviewed the Committee’s petitions submitted by the Lawyers’ Committee on 9/11 Inquiry on April 10 and July 30 and would comply with the provisions of United States Code 18, Section 3332, as they relate to the petitions.
The Nov. 7 letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, two sentences long, was signed by Michael Farrara, one of two chiefs of the D.A.’s Office’s Terrorism and International Narcotics Unit on behalf of the unit and of United States Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman. It was addressed to Attorney Mick G. Harrison, who was identified in it as the Committee’s executive director.
The letter does not say what specific actions the U.S. Attorney’s Office would take to comply with the cited federal law.
Lawyers’ Committee asserts that the law “is clear as to what these steps must be. This law states: ‘[a]ny such [United States] attorney receiving information concerning such an alleged offense from any other person shall, if requested by such other person, inform the [Special] grand jury of such alleged offense, the identity of such other person, and such attorney’s action or recommendation.’ This law also states that ‘(a) It shall be the duty of each such [special] grand jury impaneled within any judicial district to inquire into the offenses against the criminal laws of the United States alleged to have been committed in that district.’”
Lawyers’ Committee is a nonprofit public interest organization headed by Harrison and Attorney David Meiswinkle, which has been allied with 12 families of victims of the destruction of Sept. 11, 2001, in demanding a federal investigation of the events of that day.
Thanks so much for writing this article Mark and bringing this historic news to Manhattan readers!

I applaud the efforts of the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry in seeking to bring their evidence before a Grand Jury about the contradictions to the often repeated story about what happened at the Twin Towers on 9/11.
While the evidence included in the petition, presented by the Lawyers’ Committee, may be intimidating to the non-technical public, there are compelling ‘human interest’ stories that anyone can grasp which highlights the contradictions.
For those who are not comfortable addressing the physics or forensic evidence relating to the destruction of the Twin Towers, the account of the dozen survivors from inside the North Tower – the so called “Miracle of Ladder 6” – is a very compelling story. It may not change anybody’s viewpoint immediately, but it is so convincing that it will likely lead many to reconsider their understanding of the World Trade Center events.
The “Miracle of Ladder 6″is the story of a dozen members of FDNY, mostly from Ladder 6, who were in the fourth floor stairwell when the North Tower was destroyed. After the destruction of the North Tower, when the smoke cleared, they looked up and saw “a beautiful blue sky above us” – not the underside of 106 stories of pancaked rubble.
In a photo taken two days after 9/11 (second photo in the “Remembering 9/11” series under “9/11 Chronicles” on the website of the “FDNY Ten House” or http://www.fdnytenhouse.com/911/remember/index.php), remnants of two sides of the perimeter columns are seen to the east and north of the core columns. The remnant of the core columns where the fourth floor stairwell was located is clearly seen at the center of the North Tower footprint. A limited amount of debris can be seen in the area of the former North Tower lobby. It is obvious that this debris is not enough to be 106 stories of structural materials and office contents.
If the destruction of the North Tower had been a gravity-only collapse (recall that the towers did not fall to one-side or the other), the straight-down force of gravity would have pulled the collapsing debris down into the lobby area and bury it completely. The absence of a massive pile of debris covering the lobby is sufficient to rule out a gravity-only collapse – because some other forces were needed to push the building material outward and in all directions away from the core columns where the stairwells were located.
The Lawyers Committee’s petition provides a wealth of other information to substantiate that the collapse of the Twin Tower was not a gravity-only collapse.
It is commendable for the WestView News to have informed its readers about the existence of a legal process to compel a Grand Jury investigation – which is afforded to citizens – because citizens may need to use this process regarding other alleged criminal wrongdoing.
