Hal Bidlack was actually there that day. He actually was on the premises. Where were you?
What does it matter where I was?
What evidence do you have that it was not part of that flight?
Oh, come on. The question is what positive proof do we have that the plane hitting the Pentagon was AA Flight 77? And one question one might ask is proof that the airplane debris in the Pentagon actually came from Flight 77, and not another plane.
If he has expertize or personal knowledge of that fact, then someone trying to understand what happened would accept his word. On the other hand, if he doesn't have expertize or personal knowledge, then one should not accept his word.
This is just common sense. Asking for proof that the debris wasn't from Flight 77 is like asking for proof that a certain blurry person in a video wasn't Joe M. Schmoe of 2993 Walnut St., Blah VE, 20032.
If those that "tell the truth as they see it" see it wrong and act in a way that insults the victims of that day, then yes - shouting down those people is pro-victim.
It's not pro-victim if they're telling the truth. And what you're doing is shouting them down without first considering whether they're telling the truth.
No I don't. I remember the NIST report, and it's very long list of direct sources. Why don't you tell me about this opposition of Bush's? please enlighten us all.
Oh, you mean like this report that states in its entirety?
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Safety Board provided requested technical assistance to the FBI, and this material generated by the NTSB is under the control of the FBI. The Safety Board does not plan to issue a report or open a public docket.

Or maybe these reports about specific details, which were released well after then 9/11 Commission's report?

Funny, you never linked to your specific report.
Be prepared for us to fact-check your claims, don't make the same mistake as Christophera.
http://www.9-11commission.gov/about/faq.htm
The 9/11 Commission was formed in November 2002 -- fourteen months after 9/11. It's initial budget was $3 million. Congress provided $11 million more several months later, and then another million was provided later.
The Bush Administration rejected the increase of $11 million. Congress had to do it.

Bush opposed the commission in May 2002.

Don't tell me you never heard of the Family Steering Committee or The Jersey Girls who fought for the formation of the independent commission, only to be brushed off by the Bush Administration for a long time until the Bush Administration caved in.

And then there were numerous complaints about the Bush Administration stonewalling the Commission requests.

When were the commissions investigating the two space shuttle disasters formed -- how long after the disasters? What funding were they allocated?

"Press the issue, Cheney implied, and you risk being accused of interfering with the mission." The mission being the war on terrorism, and the issue being investigating 9/11.
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/23/1546256 Max Cleland complains that the Bush Administration is playing coverup.

Unfortunately, I can't find references right now stating how agents testified for the Joint Inquiry under the eyes and ears of superiors, keeping watch of their testimony.
Overall, the Bush Administration was in cover-up mode about 9/11.
