Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request on December 15, 2004, seeking all records pertaining to camera recordings from the Sheraton National Hotel, the Nexcomm/Citgo gas station, Pentagon security cameras and the Virginia Department of Transportation.
On May 16, 2006 Judicial Watch forced the Department of Defence to release video footage of American Airlines flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon on 9/11. The videos had been kept secret by the DOD until Judicial Watch filed FOIA request and, eventually, a lawsuit stating that the DOD had "no legal basis" to refuse release of the footage.
On September 15, JW released videos from the CITGO gas station near the Pentagon, which was released to JW by the FBI in response to the FOIA request.
JW is committed to completing the public record of the 9/11 attacks.
