Judicial Watch Forces Release of Video Footage of Flight 77 Striking Pentagon
 |
| Results of Flight 77 Crash into Pentagon |
In part to help put to rest conspiracy theories that a government drone or missile hit the Pentagon rather than the hijacked United airplane, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request on December 15, 2004, seeking all records pertaining to September 11, 2001 camera recordings of the Pentagon attack from the Sheraton National Hotel, the Nexcomm/Citgo gas station, Pentagon security cameras and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The Department of Defense admitted on January 26, 2005 that it possessed a videotape responsive to Judicial Watch’s request. However, the Pentagon refused to release the videotape because it was, “part of an ongoing investigation involving Zacarias Moussaoui.” Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit on February 22, 2006 arguing that there was “no legal basis” for the Defense Department’s refusal to release the tape.
