Richard Falk, die Israel met de nazi's vergelijkt en door antizionisten graag wordt aangehaald als objectieve bron wat betreft Israels 'misdaden' gelooft niet dat Al Qaida achter de aanslagen op de Twin Towers zit. Hij gelooft dat de media de waarheid bewust achterhouden en heeft veel respect voor een van de complotdenkers, zo schrijft hij op zijn blog. Ban Ki-Moon heeft de uitspraken fel veroordeeld. Zou het misschien eindelijk eens beginnen door te dringen dat deze man niet objectief naar de zaken kijkt en er behoorlijk extreme ideeën en een verwrongen wereldbeeld op na houdt? Het is natuurlijk geen toeval dat juist zo iemand door de VN 'mensenrechtenraad' is gekozen tot speciaal rapporteur voor de Palestijnse gebieden.

UN human rights official claims 9/11 was US plot

A UN human rights official has been roundly condemned for suggesting that the US government may have orchestrated the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Richard Falk, a retired professor from Princeton University, wrote on his blog that there had been an "apparent cover up" by American authorities.

He added that most media were "unwilling to acknowledge the well-evidenced doubts about the official version of the events" on 9/11, despite it containing "gaps and contradictions".

And he described David Ray Griffin, a conspiracy theorist highly regarded in the so-called "9/11 truth" movement, as a "scholar of high integrity" whose book on the subject was "authoritative".

Ban Ki-Moon, the UN Secretary-General, described the comments as "preposterous" and "an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in the attack." But Mr Ban said that it was not for him to decide whether Prof Falk, who serves the organisation as a special investigator into human rights abuses in the Palestinian territories, should be fired by the UN.

Vijay Nambiar, Mr Ban's chief of staff, said this was up to the human rights council, a 47-nation body based in Geneva, Switzerland, that was created by the UN in 2006.
