Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

9/11 Commission: 9/11 Hijackers Passed Thru Iran

HeadlineJul 19, 2004

The 9/11 commission is expected to reveal later this week that at least eight of the 9/11 hijackers passed through Iran in late 2000 and early 2001 and that Iran has a history of allowing Al Qaeda members to enter and leave the country across the Afghan border. This according to a report in Time Magazine. The commission however found no evidence that Iran was aware of the 9/11 attack plans. The Commission is also expected to recommend the creation of a Cabinet-level national intelligence director to oversee all of the government’s 15 intelligence agencies.
