N.Y. Attorney General's Office Accepts Unprecedented Citizens' Complaint Demanding Criminal Inquiry into 9/11 Crimes

10/28/2004 11:55:00 PM



NEW YORK, Oct. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- On behalf of New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, Chief Investigator William Casey today accepted a Complaint and Petition from a group of New York City citizens including 9/11 family members, survivors and a Ground Zero triage physician. The Complaint demands that the AG open a criminal inquiry and/or grand jury investigation into the many still unsolved crimes of September 11, 2001 over which he has jurisdiction.

The complainants first held a press conference to explain the reasoning and desperation behind their unique Citizens' Complaint and Petition, which calls for criminal and civil probes into previously suppressed or ignored areas of inquiry identified by the 9/11 Family Steering Committee, 9/11 CitizensWatch and many independent researchers.

The lead complainants currently include Bob McIlvaine, who lost his son Robert in the World Trade Center collapse; Patricia Perry, who lost her son John, a New York City Police officer; William Rodriguez, a WTC maintenance worker and rescue effort hero; Jenna Orkin, Chairwoman of the World Trade Center Environmental Organization; Dr. Faiz Khan, Ground Zero triage physician; and ambulance first responder,. Megan Bartlett, founder of Ground Zero for Peace (who was recently hospitalized with malignant reactions to toxic WTC dust and unable to attend).

In brief statements prior to signing the 20-page Citizens' Complaint, the complainants voiced their hope that the public would strongly support their call to Attorney General Spitzer and also urge him to finally investigate the victim families' questions that the 9/11 Commission would not touch. Explaining the timing of the action, organizers cited the very recent Zogby 9/11 Poll ( http://www.zogby.com/search/ReadNews.dbm?ID=855 ) which showed that nearly half of New Yorkers believe officials in this government "consciously" allowed the 9/11 attacks to succeed, and that 66 percent wanted a new and deeper investigation. They further noted steadily accumulating evidence that belies the "official narrative" such as this week's breaking story on the "black box" recorders recovered from the WTC site, the existence of which the FBI and Kean Commission had both insistently denied.

2. sounds like this could be huge

Who owns usnewswire.com?

EDIT (Answering my own question, sort of): It's MediaLink Worldwide out of NYC, whoever they are.

3. Go Spitzer, go!

This could be huge. :-)

4. Did the earth just move?

Is it just me or is this off-the-charts amazing?

[maddezmom]

5. "we shall overcome" is what comes to mind for me

The 9/11 Families are going to be remembered in history books...never give up!

[Syrinx]

6. usnewswire.com

Is apparently one of the sites where anyone can release any "news release." So, it's maybe not as big as it sounds. :(

[neomonkey]

7. Chills down my spine, man

The revelations of the past week have left me aghast.

Just when I had lost hope for the sincere desire for truth in this country, finally the sun is peaking through.

That is not enough though.

The hard work is yet before us.

9. So, to sum up ...

... someone submitted a petition to the NY AG's office.

10. There is an ad running on TV in Las Vegas right now that makes me puke...

It's about a young girl whose mother died in 9-11 and how she walked up to Bush at a campaign rally and he hugged her, said some kind words, because he wants to protect us now.... PUKE!!!! I am sure the Bushco knows the Zogby 9-11 polls. They are desperate to pull the sentiment back to Georgieboy.

I wish these families all the luck in the world to getting to the real crooks behind this and especially those who have benefited.

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. They've been running that one here in Illinois

Makes me want to puke too. I feel sorry for the girl and every time it runs it makes me so angry that Bush, once again, is using 9/11 victims. Very sad.

[TexasChick]

35. I see this commercial all the time in Texas and it makes me want to puke!

Just because the Chimp can hug a little girl, doesn't make him a strong leader and a great president! These Chimp supporters are going to be appalled when we finally know the truth about 9/11 and this administration's involvement! I guarantee it! But, some Chimp supporters, hanging on with a little thread, will say it's a conspiracy against this presidunce and it can't be true! Wake up, Chimp supporters, these PNACers and neocons wanted this to happen, their new Pearl Harbor!

[Crispus Attucks]

36. Story behind the ad-the rest of the story!

Hi all, first post, been lurking. Great Forum - Good Work.

When the photograph came out earlier of W hugging the little girl, many people have pointed out that normally when you are consoling someone, you aren't looking straight into the camera (for the photo-op), at least normal people aren't.

"It's about a young girl whose mother died in 9-11 and how she walked up to Bush at a campaign rally and he hugged her"

Not.

What happened was, as W was working the crowd, one of his handlers told him that back a ways was a little girl who had lost mom in towers and that it would be a good photo op for him to go back and give her a little hug.

This sorry ad is the result of that encounter.

[smirkymonkey]

39. He's so repulsive. There aren't words for it.

Welcome to DU, Crispus! :hi:

[Eloriel]

11. Can it be?

Wow -- one can only hope.

I was particularly interested in this paragraph:

Attorney Carolyn Betts, legal consultant for the Complaint, noted this was the first Citizens' Complaint filed with a State's Attorney General that would become what she called a "living document" -- in other words, an evolving compilation of argument and evidence posted on the Internet in full public view. Organizers also noted that Americans could view the Complaint at justicefor911.org (see http://www.justicefor911.org )and those who wish to support it can sign a petition on the site.

[leftchick]

26. wow is right!

These people deserve justice and this is a huge step in that direction.

[graphixtech]

13. Public pressure please. . .

Just fyi, one of the leading brains behind this effort is an avid DU'er.
'Jack' is a brilliant writer.

22. you have to admit this is pretty freaky.

if bush (by some devil-miracle) gets back in, he's faced with non-stop litigation and a hellish 4 years.

28. Spitzer with subpoenas investigating 911?

This is political taboo. Something really wild could come out this. He may become the Jim Garrison of the day.

29. spot on observation, teryang

As for his political views, he made it clear that he is currently unemployed
and he no longer works for the U.S government :eyes:

Krongard said he was not surprised when Goss replaced him. "I knew it was coming," he said. :eyes:

Curious trades. Curious connections. No public release of AN investigative
findings...And no one talks abou it anÿmore. ALL coincidence?

Where's all that money?

31. Bush-Cheney Iraq/ CPA Fraud Grosses $20 BILLION +

by URI DOWBENKO

Oh no, not again -- $20 BILLION in Iraqi oil
money managed by Paul Bremer and the
Coalition Provisional Authority is "missing" and
"unaccounted for."

How could the Bush-Cheney Regime skim so
much money so quickly? Congressmen want to
know. A congressional hearing on a U.N.
oil-for-food program has morphed into questions
about where the $20 BILLION in Iraqi funds went.

33. W and his neocon cabal are going to have fun, fun, fun should he be

reinaugurated, but I suspect if all the truth about what this Administration has done were to come out, not three Repuke Congressmen would vote to initiate impeachment proceedings (but there I go being cynical again).

[Robbie67]

37. Can I sign the complaint?

I signed the petition already.
