 Legal Questions and Issues Raised by the September 11th Attacks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Because the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center complex were apparently carried out by non-state actors who may have planned, organized and financed key aspects of their illicit activities in other states, it is not easy to frame U.S. responses within familiar categories recognized by international law.
However, if their attacks are treated as acts of war, those acts would constitute serious violations of the laws and customs of war.
Another clear and illicit purpose of the attacks was to terrorize and attack the morale of the civilian population.

This is a transcript of the presentation given by Thierry Meyssan on 8 April 2002 at the Zayed Center in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), at a gathering organized under the auspices of the Arab League and attended by the diplomatic corps and the international press corps.
Close examination of the official photographs of the scene of the attack, taken and published by the Defense Department, shows that no part of the Pentagon bears any mark of an impact that could be attributed to the crash of a Boeing 757.
The scene of the attack was thoroughly disturbed on the following day by the immediate launch of new construction work, with the result that many of the elements necessary to reconstruct what had happened are missing.

The Archive’s mission is to put on the record the primary source documentation that can enrich the policy debate, improve journalism, educate policymakers, and ensure that we don’t reinvent the wheel or repeat the mistakes of the past.
To these ends, we have published a series of volumes called "The September 11th Sourcebooks." We have cast a wide net, because the policy debate itself is also ranging widely, from deployment options abroad to wiretap surveillance at home.
