WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Seven years after the Sept. 11 attacks, there is no consensus outside the United States that Islamist militants from al Qaeda were responsible, according to an international poll published Wednesday.

The survey of 16,063 people in 17 nations found majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000 people in 2001.

As originally reported at WorldPublicOpinion.org:

A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll of 17 nations finds that majorities in only nine of them believe that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

In no country does a majority agree on another possible perpetrator, but in most countries significant minorities cite the US government itself and, in a few countries, Israel. These responses were given spontaneously to an open-ended question that did not offer response options.

... "Given the extraordinary impact the 9/11 attacks have had on world affairs, it is remarkable that seven years later there is no international consensus about who was behind them," comments Steven Kull, director of WorldPublicOpinion.org.

Attempting to tease apart the magical thinking surrounding our national tragedy is harder than spotting a white rabbit

It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
--Alice, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

We're hurtling down the rabbit hole. Gravity's refuted. Black is white, and white turns bitter, transfigured by a mawkish Mad Hatter blithely chewing up our Constitution, juggling missile-shaped teacups, splashing sweet, light crude and cold blood everywhere. To anyone who's passed through the last eight years believing whatever George W. Bush and his minions have blown their way, well, best of luck to you, because most of it hasn't been true.

'Guns and Butter' affirms that if you're not paranoid . . .

Back in 2002, on the very first anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, KPFA 94.1-FM radio in Berkeley launched Guns and Butter, a locally produced, regionally broadcast weekly show that is possibly progressive radio's most subversive. The program features muckraking intelligentsia from the fringe looking in and those from the geopolitical eye of the storm looking out. It's The X-Files for real--minus any little green men.

Guns and Butter's impeccably produced interviews showcase hard-nosed investigators digging deep, revealing unsanctioned truths about the power elite, along with legal experts making the case for corporate criminal prosecutions and administration impeachments. ...

An Interview with David Ray Griffin

On September 11, I entertained a couple of house guests, senior journalists from Scandinavia. I remember watching in horror and disbelief the unfolding drama, as the United States was being subjected to multiple deadly attacks on-screen. I turned to the international affairs editor of a major Danish paper and told her "This could not have been done by al-Qaida." I am an Israeli and, as such, I have a fair "sixth sense" as to the capabilities of terrorists and their potential reach.

NIST News Release:
The Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will hold a technical briefing at 11 a.m. EDT on August 26, 2008, at its campus in Gaithersburg, Md., on the findings and recommendations from its building and fire safety investigation of the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7). WTC 7 was a 47- story building that fell nearly seven hours after the World Trade Center towers collapsed following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Completed over a three-year period, the NIST WTC 7 investigation presents the probable collapse sequence for the building and provides recommendations for improving building and fire safety in other buildings similar to WTC 7.

Shyam Sunder, director of the NIST Building and Fire Research Laboratory and lead investigator for the federal building and fire safety investigation of the World Trade Center disaster, will present the report and answer questions via webcast from invited technical persons.

You can listen on http://noliesradio.org or you may view the briefing through a live webcast that will be accessible from NIST's WTC Web site at this link.
Webcast beginning at 8am PDT / 11am EDT.

The September Issue of the Rock Creek Free Press is on news stands now.

The 9/11 Seventh Anniversary Issue is packed with 9/11 related stories, but before I get to those... the big story this month is the anthrax (non-)investigation. The headline story, FBI Sweeps Anthrax Under the Rug, is a great piece of reporting from Shelia Casey and Barry Kissin that explains why Ivins could not have been the one behind the anthrax mailings and how it was all related to the same fear campaign as the 9/11 attacks. Barbara Honegger has more on the anthrax case that didn't make this issue, look for her anthrax story in the October issue.
