KEVIN RYAN: 9/11: Press for Truth was the first influential film about the search for the truth about 9/11

 

The Jersey Girls or Jersey Widows refers to four American women who lost their husbands in the September 11 attacks. All four—Kristen Breitweiser, Patty Casazza, Lorie Van Auken, and Mindy Kleinberg—were residents of New Jersey, and helped lobby the U.S. government to carry out an investigation into the terrorist attacks, resulting in the formation of the 9/11 Commission and the subsequent report released by the Commission.
20:28. BOB MCILVAINE. Remember in the '90s, they spent $100 million dollars investigating Clinton's sexual exploits.  $100 million dollars! And they first allocated only $3 million to investigate the murder of 3,000 people.

The budget was eventually raised to $14 million, but the investigation was given less time than they had wanted, a year and a half.

31:39.  Paul Thompson's timeline.

32:40RAY MCGOVERN.  The whole mystique of intelligence is that you gather this very valuable information covertly.  Truth be told, about 80% of what one needs is available in open source materials, i.e., found online.  

35:35  Operation Bojinka, 1995, a terrorist plot to use/hijack U.S. planes to attack U.S. targets.  Thompson spotted a secondary feature of the New York Times report on the plot that only CNN International dug deeper.  Yousef's accomplice was detained and revealed the plot
He will board any American commercial aircraft, control its cockpit, and dive it at the CIA headquarters.  Other buildings targeted, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.  FBI did check the four flight schools named there, but found no evidence of any other planned terror attacks

9/11: Press for Truth

Luz Cannon writes,

Loose Change came out in 2005. That was pretty thoughtful.  Also, a Canadian film, The Great Deception, 2004, with Barrie Zwicker was excellent, and I'm pretty sure it well preceded Press for Truth, 2006.
