Swampy you can't even see that the JCS recommending that the US military attack it's own citizens is a violation of the law?

No, they have not told the whole truth.
That said, I am more inclined to believe that the cover-up was related to the complete failure of our government to prevent 9/11. I think it very likely that the investigation showed far more damning evidence than we will ever know detailing the true level of prior knowledge we had regarding the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Less likely (IMO) is any cover-up regarding the collapse of the Twin Towers, and later WTC 7. Having looked at the evidence on both sides, the failure of the buildings due to structural damage via impact and/or fire damage strikes me as being both reasonable, and likely.
The crash in Shanksville - would not surprise me in the least to discover it was shot down and has since been covered up.

So far, going through the documents, I have yet to see something that calls for an actual attack on United States citizens.
We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or simulated)
You are seriously off your rocker if you think Operation Northwoods was a legitimate and legal plan. The military must have hardcore brainwashed you into being completely insensitive to constitutional law or how wars are SUPPOSED to be fought through all their abuses. Remind me to completely disregard all your commentary and opinions from now on. You would probably have aided them with Northwoods if they asked you at the time, wouldn't you?

Then, there is your disgusting statement that you think I would help with sinking a boatload of innocents.....that one takes the cake and shows me just how far from reality you reside.
David E. Klett, a retired professor of thermodynamics, had the real KSM in several of his classes. Asked about the photos of the person said to be the terror mastermind, Klett said, "I did not recognize that person. I never saw that face before."

Update to the poll.
No 379 voted, the government lied about 911.
Yes 20 voted, the government told the truth about 911.
I will continue counting as more votes come in.

That alone is enough to get people indicted and immediately fired. Planning a potential attack on foreign citizens/property without approval from Congress.

3. A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in several forms:
a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba.
b. We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere in the Cuban waters. We could arrange to cause such incident in the vicinity of Havana or Santiago as a spectacular result of Cuban attack from the air or sea, or both.
4. We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.

You should actually read the document
"2. A series of well coordinated incidents will be planned to take place in and around the Guantanamo to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces.
a. Incidents to establish a credible attack (not in chronological order):
(1) Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio.
(2) Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence" to stage attack on base.
(3) Capture Cuban (friendly) saboteurs inside the base.
(4) Start riots near the base main gate (friendly Cubans)
(5) Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires.
(6) Burn aircraft on air base (sabotage)
(7) Lob mortar shells from outside of base into base. Some damage to installations.
(8) Capture assault teams approaching from the sea or vicinity of Guantanamo City.
(9) Capture militia groups which storms the base.
(10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene.
(11) Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock-victims (may be lieu of (10))."
So far, going through the documents, I have yet to see something that calls for an actual attack on United States citizens. I will keep looking, but so far, everything I have read backs up what I have been saying. Absent an actual crime (and so far, none of the documents points to ANY crimes against American citizens) the only way to take care of the issue was to reassign or encourage to retire, those officers involved with the planning.
