Rachel Treichler, the Green Party candidate for Attorney General, announced today at her home in Hammondsport that she will conduct a full, independent investigation of 9/11 as soon as she is elected. She expressed surprise that current Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has not already done so.

"Numerous investigators have presented Spitzer with evidence over the last five years showing that our understanding of what happened on September 11, 2001 is incorrect," Treichler said, "and still he has not acted. Evidence has been presented showing that the twin towers were brought down by a controlled demolition, not by burning jet fuel. If this is true, it radically alters our conception of what happened that day and in the days that followed. It means that people other than the people in the planes were responsible for the deaths and destruction that occurred that day. Who were these people? Are they in a position to harm us further?"

"The Attorney General of New York needs to investigate what really happened on 9/11. There is no more important task the Attorney General can perform in protecting the people of this state," Treichler said.
