(Alexandria, Va.) – Once again, 9-11 truth is making every effort to break through into the mainstream arena.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 14, 2006, the Scholars for 9-11 Truth held a press conference outside of the Albert V. Bryan U.S. District Courthouse in Alexandria, Va. where the trial of accused 9-11 terrorist Zacharias Moussaoui is currently underway. Speakers included Professor James Fetzer, retired Air Force Colonel George Nelson, and attorney Phil Berg.
But as their press conference was set to begin before an extensive lineup of mainstream news outlets such as CNN, Fox News, the Associated Press, and local D.C. affiliate stations, attempts were made by law enforcement officials (bearing ID’s that read “POLICE ICE”) to prevent the Scholars from speaking to the press. (ICE = Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security)
These agents initially informed the Scholars that they would need to move their conference beyond the law enforcement perimeters of Courthouse Square – away from the press corps. But Professor James Fetzer, organizer of this event, informed the agents that the Scholars had a right to address the press, and also provided them with the credentials of Phil Berg (a former Deputy Attorney General & former candidate for Governor, Lt. Governor, and U.S. Senate); and George Nelson (a retired United States Air Force colonel).
Upon request, the ICE agents were also provided copies of press statements by both Fetzer and Berg. They then met with the presiding judge – Leonie Brinkema – who subsequently granted permission for the press conference to proceed.

After listening to over thirty minutes of hard-hitting information delivered by Fetzer, Nelson, and Berg, the press corps was invited to ask questions. Remarkably, only one reporter made an inquiry: “Why would they do it? What were their motives?” Professor Fetzer answered with a litany of reasons, including the infamous PNAC missive and the need for a “New Pearl Harbor” which would lead us into Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond. After this explanation, no other questions were posed to the Scholars, despite the substantial amount of information they provided.
We did notice one journalist with tears in her eyes as she scribbled furiously on a notepad while listening to Professor Fetzer. If we hearken back to what Colonel Nelson said about conscience, the question remains: will members of the mainstream media start following their conscience by exposing the lies of 9-11, or will they continue to aid and abet in the ongoing cover-up of the gravest crime ever committed against this country?” http://69.28.73.17/thorn2006/alexandria.html
