UN Human Rights Official Wants Investigation Into US Government Role In 9/11

By The Last Movement



John Bolton: "This is exactly why we voted against the new human rights council."

An official in the newly formed UN Human Rights Council has called for a fresh investigation into the events of 9/11 in order to examine the possible role that neoconservatives may have played in the attacks.

The New York Sun picked up the story today, explaining that Richard Falk, a professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, and an expert on human rights was assigned to a new position within the council on March 26.

His role is to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs.

Two days prior to the announcement, Falk appeared on former University of Wisconsin lecturer Kevin Barrett's radio show and spoke of how he is keen to see a fresh investigation into 9/11 in order to address inconsistencies in the official account of what happened.

Mr. Falk told Barrett, "It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess."

What is taking so long to bring the Bush Admin. and collaborators to justice? Only people with a mediocre education are incapable to see what really happened on 9/11. It was planed by the neo-cons think tanks before the conservatives handed the presidency to their puppet. But greedy corporations in the U.S., love to have people incapable of critical thinking. It's more profitable to make wars, how else the weapons manufacturers and the support- equipment for war manufacturers can make a profit. They don't give a them about the poor bastards that get into the military, victims of false promises and of a system that purposely keeps labor pay insufficient to survive. There is also the retirement money needed, for all the retired soldiers and their commanders to subsidize. The oil barons in this country have a lot to loose if the government doesn't play by their rules also.
