Article: INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO PENTAGON ATTACK YIELDS ALARMING INFORMATION, GARNERS WIDE-RANGING ENDORSEMENTS

It wasn't just witnesses who watched the plane approach the building that the team spoke with, however.

� ��"We've also published our interview with a Pentagon police officer who saw the plane flying away from the Pentagon immediately after the explosion� �� , says Marquis. � ��"We already knew that the plane could not have hit based on the testimony of the witnesses on the other side of the building who watched it approach, but it was still vindicating to get this kind of confirmation.� ��

A 2006 Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll found that � ��"More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East.� �� Nevertheless, Ranke and Marquis acknowledge it is still quite controversial to claim, as they do, that � ��"criminal elements within the U.S. government� �� were complicit in the attacks.

� ��"If you are skeptical of (or even incensed by) this statement we do not blame you,� �� reads a note on the front page of their website, CitizenInvestigationTeam.com. � ��"We are not asking you to take our word for it, nor do we want you to do that. We want you to view the evidence and see with your own eyes that this is the case. We want you to hear it directly from the eyewitnesses who were there, just as we did.� ��

Many people seem to be taking them up on this offer. Their video has already received almost 70,000 views online since it was first posted to their website a few weeks ago with only a grass roots promotional effort behind it.

Perhaps more notable than the size of the audience, however, is the caliber of some of the people in it. A newly-published compendium of endorsements on the CitizenInvestigationTeam.com website includes praise from a wide array of distinguished and well-respected Americans.

Emmy-award winning actor and former president of The Screen actors Guild, Ed Asner, calls the film a � ��"reasoned, and methodical look at witness testimony the day the Pentagon was attacked on Sept. 11^th� �� .

Prolific non-fiction author Dr. Peter Dale Scott, Professor Emeritus of the University of California, Berkeley affirms that the film � ��"successfully rebuts the official account of Flight 77's flight path on 9/11 as it approached the Pentagon� �� .

� �� If you accept the placement of the plane as independently and unanimously reported by the witnesses presented in CIT's video National Security Alert, science proves that it did not cause the physical damage at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001� �� , says FAA certified pilot Robert Balsamo.

Dr. David Ray Griffin, author of The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-Up, and the ExposÃ � and many other titles, says he is � ��"pleased to be able to recommend this important film with enthusiasm� �� , while scholar, author, and radio host Dr. Kevin Barrett says that the film proves � �� that the official version of the attack on the Pentagon is false, and that the attack must have been a deceptive military operation, not the kamikaze crash of a hijacked commercial jet.� ��

Scott McKinsey, an award-winning network television director, says � ��"The DVD offers no theorizing or speculation; only corroborated eyewitness evidence contradicting the official flight data to support an overwhelming argument that a plane did not slam into the Pentagon on 9/11� �� .

Architect Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth.org), a coalition of over 700 professional architects and engineers calling for a new independent investigation of the destruction of the three skyscrapers in New York on 9/11 (the third was World Trade Center 7), calls the film � ��"long overdue, but worth waiting for� �� and says that it � ��"deserves serious attention� �� .

Retired Navy Commander and aviator James R. Compton calls National Security Alert � ��"the best reporting I've seen in a long, long time� �� and � ��"a must see for every citizen in our country� �� .

"Government and media figures who dare ignore evidence this conclusive do so at their own peril", warns Lt. Col. Shelton Lankford, a retired Marine pilot who has flown 303 combat missions.
