Family members of 9/11 victims who attended the open-court hearing broke into tears. They had nervously sat through a four-hour presentation by attorneys Thomas E. Mellon, Jr., and Timothy B. Fleming, consisting of evidence backing up their claims that Iran had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and actively assisted the hijackers in planning, preparing, and executing their plan.

“My husband’s name is on that lawsuit,” said Fiona Havlish, the lead plaintiff in the case against Iran. Her spouse, Donald G. Havlish, Jr, perished on the 101st floor of the World Trade Center’s South Tower. “This is about my husband, all our husbands, our loved ones, our sons, our daughters.”

Ellen Saracini, whose husband, Victor Saracini, took off that morning at the controls of United Airlines Flight 175, called it “a historic day” because a U.S. court found that Iran was responsible for the attacks. “When I heard the verdict, I just smiled up to Victor and said, ‘we’re still thinking about you up there.’”

In presenting evidence gathered by the attorneys and their outside investigator, Timothy Fleming revealed tantalizing details of still-sealed videotaped depositions provided by three defectors from Iranian intelligence organizations.

One of those defectors was “physically present” when al-Qaida’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, came to Iran in January 2001 for four days of intense closed-door meetings with the top leadership in Iran to discuss the impending attacks.

It’s taken 10 years to definitively tie Iran to this.

Ron Paul is deeply saddened and has filed this legal opinion away as proof that we make them hate us.

Does this mean we can nuke the Mullahs and the IRG off the face of the earth? If so, count me in.

"still-sealed videotaped depositions provided by three defectors from Iranian intelligence organizations"

oooh myyyyy.... how and when will these be made public?? They will be made public once a legal decision has been formally entered, I hope?? The judge wouldn't order the record sealed indefinitely, I hope???

This is such explosive info. I remember I wrote to a variety of journalists right on and after 9/11 saying "look hard at possible Iranian angles" but of course I had only intuitions to go on, along with Iran's horrendous record in previous years.

I don't buy this. Iran is Shia. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are Sunni. They hate each other. First, they used 911 to attack Afghanistan. Then they switched it to Iraq. Now I am supposed to believe it was Iran? Iran is against the Taliban as well and helps Karzai. Osama was found in Pakistan which gets aid.

I am tired of the lies from the rulers at Washington and the judges appointed by them.

So, will this be the premise and basis for jumping in to grab our missplaced drone and stir up the hornets?

This judge’s credentials are as far left as you can get. This is no right wing conspiracy. Daniels clerked for Rose Bird and was nominated by Clinton.

Good thing we have “Federal judges” to tell us things like this. I sure fell better.
