4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dietrich Snell, Senior Counsel, 9/11 Commission:

"As originally envisioned, the 9/11 plot involved even more extensive attacks than those carried out on September 11th. K-S-M (Khalid Shaikh Mohammed) maintains that his initial proposal involved hijacking ten planes to attack targets on both the east and west coasts of the United States. He claims that in addition to the targets actually hit on 9/11, these hijacked planes were to be crashed into C-I-A and F-B-I headquarters, unidentified nuclear power plants and the tallest buildings in California and Washington state."

7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Philip Zelikow, Executive Director, 9/11 Commission:

"Atta selected a date after the first week of September so that the United States Congress would be in session. According to K-S-M ( Khalid Shaikh Mohammed), the U-S Capitol was indeed on the preliminary target list he had initially developed with Bin Laden and Atta in the spring of 1999. That preliminary list also included the White House, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. K-S-M claimed that while everyone agreed on the Capitol, he wanted to hit the World Trade Center, while Bin Laden favored the Pentagon and the White House."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Douglas MacEachin, Former Deputy Director of Intelligence, CIA:

"A senior intelligence, Iraq intelligence officer reportedly made three visits to Sudan and finally met with (Osama) bin Laden in 1994. At that time, bin Laden was said to have requested space to establish training camps and assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded. There have been reports that contacts between Iraq and al-Qaida also occurred after bin Laden returned to Afghanistan, but they do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship."
11. Cutaways of people listening

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Philip Zelikow, Executive Director, 911 Commission:

"The intelligence community expects that the trend toward attacks intended to cause ever higher casualties will continue. Al-Qaida and other extremist groups will likely continue to exploit leaks of national security information in the media, open-source information on techniques such as mixing explosives, and advances in electronics. It may modify traditional tactics in order to prevent detection or interdiction by counter-terrorist forces. Regardless of the tactic, Al-Qaida is actively striving to attack the United States and inflict mass casualties."

"It's very upsetting because you hear about a lot of missed opportunities. When they talk about it, it could have been a different day. And of course we all wonder how our lives would have been impacted, whether our loved one would have been killed then."
20. Close up, set up shot of Beverley Eckert, family steering committee, husband Sean Rooney

21. SOUNDBITE: (English) Beverley Eckert, family steering committee, husband Sean Rooney

"We're, we're the conscience of the Commission. That's the way we feel about it and we would like it if they took this further, worked harder and were more assertive and more conclusive."

    Also search for Zelikows parallel universe.

    He's a traitor.

  • though this is a part of history now, their crap statements and manipulation makes me sick. Family members sat through all that and had it stuck to them. Our prayers for the families and victims and true justice be given them and final justice to those responsible. When they stand for judgement there will be no denial then.

  • Yea, I'll say anything after being tortured.....Well thats not totally true. A specific type of torture can make me produce anything. I'll say my MOM was an operative with some well placed jonas bros music.....

    Zelikow looks like the devil sittin there and spinnin his web of half-truths and politically motivated lies.
