Chris,
Is this video being held back now?
Any idea why?
Any idea when it will be released?
Was the release court ordered?

I understand that the govt. needed more time for privacy-related technical reasons. I believe the release has now been pushed back to sometime in December. As soon as we get it, we’ll release it.

Chris,
Thank you for your response.
I apologize for my frustration.
5 years was not enough time?
Can you elaborate on what privacy issues when you have time please?
Thank you,
Russell

I believe (although I do not possess metaphysical certitude on the point) that the govt. is busy blurring the faces of persons who wander into/through the video, in order to protect those persons’ privacy interests/rights. They did the same thing in the Citgo video.

Just the honest truth and the full story. The USG should be appreciated and defended in their handling of 9/11. They have done a great job all the way from ignoring the memos to the White House about Osama months before right up to disposing of conspiracy theories in a timely fashion!
ORIGINAL STORY:
"The FBI has agreed to release to Judicial Watch a videotape obtained from the Doubletree Hotel near the Pentagon by November 9, 2006."
