Researchers working through Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth are planning a lawsuit that will target the release all of the records gathered during the investigation of the September 11th attacks. David Cole, one of the leading researchers, was told by the agencies that the number of documents, images and other items totals nearly 500,000 records that would provide critical new insight into discrepancies with the official report. The records include most of the evidence collected by NIST, FEMA and various contractors, as some is unavailable for various reasons. Cole has suspicions the real total may be far higher than half a million.
Over the last 3 years, NIST and FEMA have resisted numerous attempts at obtaining information through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. In some cases, the FOIA process has been stalled and despite contact attempts to expedite the handling, the obligations of both FEMA and NIST remain unfinished.
