What van Jones Signed

I posted the full text of the 911 petition signed by van Jones, with comments, under 9/11 date in SJ. The full text can be read here.

After reading the document, it is clear that the petition is not challenging the truth of the event but the incompetence of the US response to it. Some of the questions remain valid to today, esp.. those that ask about the role of Saudi colleagues of Messers Bush and Chaney.

The list of questions seem ... welll .. mostly reasonable.

We Want Real Answers About 9/11.......

1. Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day?
   SJ: Seems like a reasonable question.
   
2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?
   SJ: Seems like a reasonable question.
   
3. Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the schoolchildren?
   SJ: Seems like a reasonable question.
   
4. Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?
   
   
5. Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published the results of multiple investigations into trading that strongly suggested foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting in tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains?
   SJ: I do not kniow much about this, but given the close relationship of the Bush family and Mr. Chaney with Saudi officials, wouldn't it be worth asking how much the Islamaic extremist movement in SA was aided and abetted by Saudis allied with Americans?
   
6. Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge?
   SJ: I know nothing about this.
   
7. How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon, have flown back towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being detected by the FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by the US military?
   SJ: Seems like a reasonable question.
   
8. How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos of the alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses, restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent?
   SJ: Seems like a reasonable question.
   
9. What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?
   SJ: Seems like a reasonable question.
   
10. Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the week of 9/11 and reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered the ringleader of the hijackers?
    SJ: I know nothing about this either.
    
11. Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the questions posed by the families of the victims, in addition to almost all of the questions posed here?
    SJ: Seems likely that the commission wanted not to offenbd our Saudi allies?
    
12. Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice?
    SJ: Seems trivial
