Dear Sen. Graham, Michael Moore, and Amy Goodman:
Regarding your discussions on Democracy Now, September 15th and September 29th, including “Michael Moore Backs Call to Re-Open Investigation of 9/11 Attacks,” — the “best evidence” formulated by the new 9/11 Consensus Panel may be helpful in your quest.
The work of this distinguished expert Panel was first announced in a North America-wide press release on September 9, 2011.
Brief summary of the Panel’s function and importance:
The mainstream media has claimed for a decade that it is not in a position to evaluate the technical evidence being presented by the 9/11 Truth Movement against the official narrative of the events of September 11, 2001.
Many in the media perceive a problem in challenging government explanations that they feel are over their heads.
A parallel problem existed in the field of medicine for many years, during which there were contradictory, unranked approaches to medical treatments.
This problem was greatly reduced by the introduction of “evidence-based” medicine.
Using widely accepted verification tools such as the Delphi Method, medicine has now developed hundreds of standard Consensus Statements to guide physicians in diagnosis and treatment.
Similarly, 22 expert members of the new 9/11 Consensus Panel have recently developed 13 Consensus Points of “best evidence” opposing the official account of 9/11.
The respondents, who remained blind to one another throughout the process, provided three rounds of review and feedback that was refined into 13 Points of “best evidence”.
This scientific process has yielded an unprecedented degree of credibility for specific points of evidence opposing the official account of the events of September 11, 2001.
These Points, developed by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, offer the media the confidence it needs to promote serious discussion about this world-changing event and its continuing fallout. The Points, their methodology, and information on the Panel are available at consensus911.org.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. David Ray Griffin, author, Co-founder, 9/11 Consensus Panel
