While I’m sure it will not satisfy the various 9-11 conspiracy theorists out there, the Defense Dept. has released a video of Flight 77 striking the Pentagon. The government had previously refused to release the video, and it was obtained under a Freedom of Information Act petition by Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch filed the freedom of information request in 2004, but the Pentagon refused to release the video because it was part of the investigation involving al-Qaeda plotter Zacarias Moussaoui, the group said.
This February the group sued the government over its refusal, saying there was “no legal basis” for it.
Washington agreed to release the video after a court sentenced Moussaoui to life in jail for his role in 9/11 earlier this month, a Judicial Watch spokeswoman told the BBC.
It’s actually not a very good video (“Fake! Clumsy fake!” I can already hear the cries), since it’s from a slow security camera near the site.
