Bush Behind 9/11: Charlie Sheen CAIRO – Renowned Hollywood star Charlie Sheen is charging that the administration of former president George W. Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks, calling for an independent investigation into the tragedy. "People of the US and the World demand the truth," Sheen said in a video message to US President Barack Obama. "As my letter chronicles, Sir, 9/11 commission itself says they were lied to, deceived and essentially prevented from carrying out a real investigation." Sheen had earlier written an open letter to Obama charging that there was a cover-up by the Bush administration over the 9/11 attacks. "9/11 has been the pretext for the systematic dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Rights," Sheen wrote in the letter. "Your administration is reading from the same playbook that the Bush administration foisted on America through documented secrecy and deception." Nearly 3,000 people were killed when hijackers struck fuel-laden planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Though Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda organization claimed responsibility for the attacks, many officials blamed the Bush administration for the attacks. In 2007, US Congressman Keith Ellison said that Bush might have played a role in the 9/11 attacks to get extraordinary powers like the ones granted to Nazi Adolf Hitler in the wake of the massive burning of the German parliament in 1933. French Minister of Housing Christine Boutin has also suggested that Bush might have been behind the attacks, which created a new world order. Investigation The Hollywood star urged the Obama administration to launch an investigation into the 9/11 attacks. "Mr. President, I come to you today representing the families of the victims of September 11th as well as millions of my fellow Americans." The six-and-a-half minute video opens with news reports and footage of the attacks with Sheen's voiceover: "The questions Mr President, the questions." The Two and a Half Men actor then runs through several "unanswered questions" such as World Trade Center workers and rescuers claiming the building imploded as if with detonations. He also cites media reports about the tower collapse before it actually happened and FBI translator Sibel Edmonds claiming bin Laden was working for the CIA up until 9/11. Some theorists argue that the collapse of the World Trade Center was the result of a controlled demolition. Others contend that a commercial airliner did not crash into the Pentagon and that the plane was shot down. A Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll in 2007 said that more than one-third of Americans believe US officials helped in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop them. Sheen urged Obama to use his powers to launch an independent investigation into the 9/11 attacks and its aftermath. "Sir, you have the power as well as the responsibility to initiate a truly independent congressional investigation into the events of 9/11 as well as its aftermath. "We're counting on you Mr. President. Be on the right side of history." |
