PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to Real News Network. I’m Paul Jay in Washington. Nine-eleven, 2010, nine years after the events that helped shape the beginning of this century, led to the war in Afghanistan, became the rationale for the war in Iraq, and nine years later, debate still rages. What really happened on 9/11? And why? And who’s responsible? Millions of people still have questions about what really happened, including author Peter Dale Scott, former Canadian diplomat, retired professor at the University of Berkeley, a researcher and author. Here’s a little bit of what he’s written. “I do not know the truth of what happened on 9/11. I do know for a certainty that there has been a cover-up of 9/11; and also, what the 9/11 Commission itself admits, that there has been a high-level governmental lying about what happened, and what didn’t happen, on that day. It became clear to me early on that 9/11 was another in a string of what I have called ‘deep events'”. Now joining us from Berkeley, California, is Peter Dale Scott. Thanks very much for joining us, Peter.

PROF. PETER DALE SCOTT: I’m glad to be back with you.

JAY: So what questions about 9/11 are left unanswered for you?

SCOTT: Well, just about all of them. We don’t know what brought the buildings down. We don’t know who was on the planes and what their exact role was. Let’s start with what we do know. We know that a lot of the first testimony given to the 9/11 commission was, by their own account, false. They actually considered prosecutions of people for covering up. And both the cochairmen have agreed that they never did get the truths on some basic matters.
