[edit] History

The Christian Science Monitor reported that: "In anticipation of the hearings, CitizensWatch launched ads in the Washington area newspapers calling for fuller disclosure. It reads: "We deserve full disclosure on 9/11: The families of 9/11 victims and Americans everywhere demand that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore testify publicly under oath to the 9/11 commission."^[3]

March 20, 2004: New York Times reported on 9/11 Citizens Watch and the Family Steering Committee demanding the resignation of Philip D. Zelikow, the executive staff director of the 9/11 Commission. The demand came shortly Richard Clarke told the New York Times that Zelikow was present when he gave briefings on the threat posed by al-Qaeda to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice from December 2000 to January 2001.^[4] Zelikow did not resign.

August 30, 2004: 9/11 Citizens Watch co-sponsored a Zogby poll. The poll claims that "Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9-11 Attacks and “Consciously Failed” To Act; 66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York’s Attorney General". It further quotes: "On September 9th and 11th, 911Truth.org will cosponsor two large successive inquiries in New York, a preliminary 9/11 Citizens Commission hearing and "Confronting the Evidence: 9/11 and the Search for Truth," a research-focused evidentiary forum. These inquiries will examine many of the 9/11 Commission-shunned questions and discuss preparation of a probable cause complaint demanding a grand jury and criminal investigation from the New York Attorney General. Possible charges range from criminal negligence and gross dereliction of duty to foreknowledge, complicity and subsequent obstruction of justice."^[2]

September 9, 2004: 9/11 Citizens Watch organised the The 9-11 Citizens Commission: The Omissions Hearings – held in Symphony Space, New York City. Former US representative Cynthia McKinney participated in the event.
