* Guilty For 9-11: Bush, Rumsfeld, Myers, Part 1 * by Illarion Bykov
and Jared Israel [Posted 14 November 2001] [Updated 17 November
2001]

Dedicated to the firefighters of New York.

=======================================

- An Historic Exposi  -

"Guilty for 9-11, Part I" is the first article *in the world* to
document the charge that planes were made to stand down on 9-11.
If you have seen the information contained in this article, this
is where it came from.

Though rarely credited, Emperor's Clothes' work has been used many
times.  Didn't somebody say plagiarism is the highest compliment?
Emperor's Clothes has key information and analysis on 9-11 that we
have *not* yet posted! This will appear for the first time in Jared
Israel's book, "Conspiracy, Blunders, and Cover-up: What Really
Happened on 9-11"

For advance notice of publication, please send us an email at

publishers. But we will not be stopped: Emperor's Clothes will
publish the book "ourselves." Publication is being held up only for
lack of funds. If you can help get "Conspiracy, Blunders, and
Cover-up" into print, please make a donation to out Book Fund. (See

- Introduction to Summary of Evidence -

Andrews Air Force Base is a huge military installation just 10 miles

>from the Pentagon.

On 11 September Andrews had two squadrons of fighter jets with the
job of protecting the skies over Washington D.C. They failed to do
their job. Despite over one hour's advance warning of a terrorist
attack in progress, not a single Andrews fighter took off (or
scrambled) to protect the city.

The FAA, NORAD and the military have cooperative procedures by which
fighter jets intercept commercial aircraft under emergency conditions.
These procedures were not followed.

Air Force officials and others have tried to explain away the
failures:

"Air Force Lt. Col. Vic Warzinski, another Pentagon spokesman,
[said]: 'The Pentagon was simply not aware that this aircraft was
coming our way, and I doubt prior to Tuesday's event, anyone would
have expected anything like that here.'"

--'Newsday,' 23 September 2001 (1)

Using information from the mass media and official Websites, we
will show that this is a lie.

Some of what happened on 9-11, such as planes flying into buildings,
is unusual. But most of what happened, such as commercial jets
flying off-course, transponder failures and possible hijackings,
are everyday emergencies. We will show that these emergencies are
routinely handled with expert efficiency based on clear rules.

The crash of the first hijacked jet into the World Trade Center
made it clear the United States was faced with an extraordinary
situation. This should have intensified the emergency responses of
the air safety and air defense systems.

The whole country was aware. For example, at 9:06 AM the NY Police
broadcast:

" 'This was a terrorist attack. Notify the Pentagon.'"

--'Daily News' (New York) 12 September 2001 (2)

'American Forces Press Service' reported that ordinary people working
at the Pentagon worried they could be next:

"'We were watching the World Trade Center on the television,' said
a Navy officer. 'When the second plane deliberately dove into the
tower, someone said, 'The World Trade Center is one of the most
recognizable symbols of America. We're sitting in a close second.'"

--'DEFENSELINK News', Sept. 13, 2001 (3)

U.S. air safety and air defense emergency systems are activated in
response to problems every day. On 9-11 they failed despite, not
because of, the extreme nature of the emergency. This could only
happen if individuals in high positions worked in a coordinated way
to make them fail.

Such operatives would almost surely have failed if they tried to
disrupt and abort routine protection systems without top-level
support. The failure of the emergency systems would be noticed
immediately. Moreover, given the catastrophic nature of the attacks,
the highest military authorities would be alerted. Acting on their
own, the operatives could expect that their orders would be
countermanded and that they themselves would be arrested.

The sabotage of routine protective systems, controlled by strict
hierarchies, would never have been contemplated let alone attempted
absent the involvement of the supreme U.S. military command. This
includes at least U.S. President George Bush, U.S. Secretary of
Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the then-Acting Head of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, Air Force General Richard B. Myers.

In the following summary of evidence we will demonstrate probable
cause for charging the above-named persons with treason for complicity
in the murders of thousands of people whom they had sworn to protect.

The summary of evidence covers the following areas:

* Andrews Air Force Base and the myth of 'no available planes;'

* The air safety/air defense systems and the myth that they were
not prepared;

* The actions of George Bush on 9-11 that clearly violated his
positive legal and constitutional obligations and demonstrated
consciousness of guilt;

* The testimony of General Richard B. Myers at Senate hearings on
his nomination as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In these
hearings, the contents of which were reported accurately by one
lone journalist, General Myers attempted to cover up what had
happened 9-11 when he was Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He
offered three mutually contradictory cover stories and demonstrated
consciousness of guilt;

* The cover story floated by CBS evening news, September 14th.

Until that time, officials reported that no planes had been 'scrambled'
to intercept the hijacked planes. But following Gen. Myers disastrous
Senate testimony, CBS broadcast an improved version of 9-11. In the
new script, fighter jets from Otis and Langley Air Force Bases did
try, but failed, to intercept the hijacked planes. This is now
presented as the official NORAD story and has been repeated
uncritically by media and government officials alike. We will
demonstrate that this cover story is both weak and incriminating.

Part 1: Why did no fighter jets 'scramble' to protect Washington
D.C.?

Lie #1: 'NO COMBAT READY FIGHTERS WERE STATIONED NEAR THE PENTAGON'

As noted, Andrews Air Force base is 10 miles from the Pentagon. The
media has mainly avoided talking about Andrews. An exception is
'USA Today,' the second-highest circulation newspaper in America.
On one day it published two contradictory stories to explain the
failure to scramble jets from Andrews prior to the Pentagon crash:

First 'USA TODAY' Story:

"Andrews Air Force Base, home to Air Force One, is only 15 miles
[sic!] away from the Pentagon, but it had no fighters assigned to
it. Defense officials won't say whether that has changed."

--'USA TODAY,' 17 September 2001 (4)

Second 'USA TODAY' Story:

"The District of Columbia National Guard maintained fighter planes
at Andrews Air Force Base, only about 15 miles [sic!] from the
Pentagon, but those planes were not on alert and not deployed."

--'USA TODAY' September 17, 2001 (5)

Both stories are false.

Only one newspaper told the truth. That was the 'San Diego
Union-Tribune':

"Air defense around Washington is provided mainly by fighter planes

>from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland near the District of Columbia

border. The D.C. Air National Guard is also based there and equipped
with F-16 fighter planes, a National Guard spokesman said.

"But the fighters took to the skies over Washington only after the
devastating attack on the Pentagon..."

--'San Diego Union-Tribune' 12 September 2001. (6)

Andrews Air Force Base is a huge installation. It hosts two
'combat-ready' squadrons:

* the 121st Fighter Squadron (FS-121) of the 113th Fighter Wing
(FW-113), equipped with F-16 fighters;

* the 321st Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA-321) of the 49th
Marine Air Group, Detachment A (MAG-49 Det-A), equipped with F/A-18
fighters.

These squadrons are served by hundreds of full-time personnel.

THE 121st FIGHTER SQUADRON, 113th FIGHTER WING

"as part of its dual mission, the 113th provides capable and ready
response forces for the District of Columbia in the event of a
natural disaster or civil emergency. Members also assist local and
federal law enforcement agencies in combating drug trafficking in
the District of Colombia. [They] are full partners with the active
Air Force"

--DC Military (7)

THE 321st MARINE FIGHTER ATTACK SQUADRON (VMFA-321)

"In the best tradition of the Marine Corps, a 'few good men and
women' support two combat-ready reserve units at Andrews AFB.

"Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 321, a Marine Corps Reserve
squadron, flies the sophisticated F/A-18 Hornet. Marine Aviation
Logistics Squadron 49, Detachment A, provides maintenance and supply
functions necessary to maintain a force in readiness. "

--DC Military (7)

So Andrews AFB had at least two 'combat-ready' squadrons.

Our research has been carried out mainly by volunteers. Newspapers
and TV news departments have full-time research staffs. The important
media have bureaus in Washington DC, just a few miles from the
Andrews airbase. Why haven't newspapers and TV news programs reported
the truth: that Andrews job was to protect DC?

This failure is especially striking because some media did report
that fighters scrambled from Andrews, but only after the Pentagon
was hit. Thus they were aware that Andrews was supposed to defend
D.C.:

For example:

" Within minutes of the attack American forces around the world
were put on one of their highest states of alert - Defcon 3, just
two notches short of all-out war - and F-16s from Andrews Air Force
Base were in the air over Washington DC."

--'Sunday Telegraph,' (London), 14 September 2001 (8)

And:

"WASHINGTON - an audible gasp went up from the rear of the audience
as a large black plume of smoke arose from the Pentagon. Terrorism
suddenly was at the doorstep and clearly visible through the big
glass windows overlooking the Potomac River. Overhead, fighter jets
scrambled from Andrews Air Force Base and other installations and
cross-crossed the skies

"A thick plume of smoke was climbing out of the hollow center of
the Pentagon. Everyone on the train understood what had happened
moments before."

--'Denver Post,' 11 September 2001 (9)

And:

"It was after the attack on the Pentagon that the Air Force then
decided to scramble F-16s out of the DC National Guard Andrews Air
Force Base to fly cover, a--a protective cover over Washington,
DC."

--NBC Nightly News, (6:30 PM ET) 11 September 11 2001 (10)

The media should have demanded to know the truth about why fighter
jets assigned to protect Washington didn't scramble an hour BEFORE
the Pentagon was hit.

Besides fighters, tanker planes and AWACS were also readily available.
(An AWACS is a flying communication center equipped with radar which
can scan at least 250 miles. This is almost the full distance from
the West-Virginia/Ohio/Kentucky border, where American Air Flight
77 turned around before flying back to DC.) Both General Myers and
Vice President Cheney admit that these planes did not go into the
air over Washington until after the Pentagon was hit.

Here is General Myers, testifying 13th September:

"When it became clear what the threat was, we did scramble fighter
aircraft, AWACS, radar aircraft and tanker aircraft to begin to
establish orbits in case other aircraft showed up in the FAA system
that were hijacked."

--Gen. Richard B. Myers at Senate confirmation hearing 13 September
2001 (11)

And Richard Cheney on 'Meet the Press':

"Vice Pres. Cheney: Well, the--I suppose the toughest decision was
this question of whether or not we would intercept incoming commercial
aircraft.

"Mr. Russert: And you decided?'

"Vice Pres. Cheney: We decided to do it. We'd, in effect, put a
flying combat air patrol up over the city; F-16s with an AWACS,
which is an airborne radar system, and tanker support so they could
stay up a long time." --NBC, 'Meet the Press' (10:00 AM ET) 16
September 2001 (12)

As we shall see, Mr. Cheney's statement that "the toughest decision
was this question of whether or not we would intercept incoming
commercial aircraft" is a lie. Publicly available FAA documents
prove that fighter jets routinely intercept commercial aircraft
under certain designated circumstances without requiring or asking
for approval from the White House.
