Regarding 9/11 and the conspiracy | News | timesargus.com

In response to your editorial published Sept. 8 regarding 9/11 theory, I am writing to correct a common false argument: that a fact is a theory. First, since that false argument starts by impugning the messenger, I must, alas, state who I am. 1) I wrote the seminal article about FBI whistleblower Seibel Edmonds on May 7, 2004, archived at www.baltimorechronicle.com. Not one word of that extensive article has ever been debunked, and I understand that it is frequently referred to. 2) I am a little known, but highly respected radio journalist who has interviewed the likes of Daniel Ellsberg, Eugene McCarthy, Peter Dale Scott, former CIA agents, and Kevin Ryan (formerly of Underwriters Labs). I will soon be interviewing senior military affairs journalist with the Dept of the Navy, Barbara Honegger, who will be giving an address about 9/11 in Montpelier in the near future. 3) I do not write for a salary. 4) I do write for Vermont Commons, which was a finalist in the UTNE Reader best new publication of the year competition. In the next issue, my article on 9/11, “Fact vs. Fiction,” will be featured. My review of Dr. David Ray Griffin’s “Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11” is posted at www.vtcommons.org. With that, I mention one of many important facts about the 9/11 attacks. Theories will naturally evolve from this fact, since we humans are capable of thought. The fact, according to Barbara Hon egger, is: Massive explosions occurred in the Pentagon at 9:32, 5 minutes before the earliest reports of anything hitting the Pentagon. This fact is confirmed by many witnesses at the Pentagon. It is the starting point of her impeccably documented article “Seven Hours in September: The Clock that Broke the Lie.” Jim Hogue, Calais
