Investigating intelligence and security failures which allowed the attack to occur will do very little to divest the 9/11 attacks of their awesome psychological power. “Unanswered questions” mean some people haven’t been held accountable for dropping the ball, and some profiteers haven’t been exposed as such, but it’s hard to argue our intelligence agencies haven’t learned from their mistakes, even if they haven’t all been called to the mat.

All Christmas Day showed us was that if we want to project imperial power all over the globe, some amount of terrorism is inevitable. You simply can’t stop them all. The system did work on that day, as well as it possibly could have, because nobody died.

VFP passed a resolution last year to seek accountability for the mistakes that allowed the 9/11/2001 attacks to succeed. Tell Congress the need to open a new investigation into the events of 9/11 is more urgent than ever. If 9/11 doesn’t matter, what does?
===================================

VFP RESOLUTION: Support a Valid Investigation into the National Security Failures of the 9/11/2001 Attacks inside the United States.

Whereas the pretext for two illegal wars of occupation, torture and war crimes was justified by the catastrophic events of 9/11/2001, and

Whereas Congress was blocked by the White House from their intended investigation in connection with the massive national security failures of 9/11/2001, and

Whereas not one person has since been held accountable for the national security failures that allowed the 9/11/2001 attacks to succeed, and

Whereas Lee Hamilton, Co-chair of the 9/11 Commission confessed that his Commission was, in his words, “Set up to fail”, and

Whereas significant un-answered questions remain that challenge the official story of the events of 9/11/2001

Therefore Be It Resolved that Veterans For Peace supports a legitimate and non-partisan investigation into the catastrophic national security failures of 9/11/2001.
