In a September 2003 article for The Guardian newspaper, Michael Meacher, who served as Tony Blair¡¯s environment minister from May 1997 to June 2003, shocked the establishment by calling the global war on terrorism ¡°bogus.¡± Even more controversially, he implied that the U.S. government either allowed 9/11 to happen, or played some role in the destruction wrought that day. Besides Meacher, few politicians have publicly questioned America¡¯s official 9/11 narrative ¡ª until Diet member Yukihisa Fujita.
In January 2008 Fujita, a member of the Democratic Party of Japan, asked the Japanese Parliament and Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda to explain gaping holes in the official 9/11 story that various groups ¡ª including those who call themselves the ¡°911 Truth Movement¡± ¡ª claim to have exposed.
Fujita, along with a growing number of individuals ¡ª including European and American politicians ¡ª are leading a charge to conduct a thorough, independent investigation of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.
