Nader Calls For New 9/11 Investigation Rebel News go to original
| Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader | | Cincinnati - Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader pledged support for a new investigation into the events of 9/11 this week, commenting that the 9/11 Commission was "flawed, right from the get go".
Nader was questioned by members of We Are Change Ohio at a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio earlier this week.
Asked if he supported the 9/11 Truth Movement and the efforts of activists and victims' families to expose the lies surrounding the attacks, Nader responded;
"I was there when they were collecting signatures in the audience and I supported it." Nader commented, referring to We are Change's activities at the meeting.
"The 9/11 Commission, first of all, it took the members of the great families to push the administration even to have an inquiry, can you imagine an attack like that and the government didn't even want to have an inquiry?" stated Nader.
"And second, the ground rules for the 9/11 Commission were that they weren't going to name names, or hold anybody responsible, that's a real investigation," he added with irony.
"So right from the get go it was flawed and there needs to be another one, and the best place to have it is New York City." Nader concluded.
Nader was a key figure in the original movement to establish the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a government agency that has been fiercely criticized for its role in declaring the air at ground zero safe to breathe, when in reality it contained deadly toxins that have led to the chronic illnesses and slow deaths of hundreds of first responders. |
