Statement of Richard Greene, Air America Radio host 3/2/08:
"Now I went to Senator Kerrey [Bob Kerrey, member of the 9/11 Commission] and I said. "Senator --" because he's associated with Air America -- I said, "Senator, are you still believing that there wasn't enough time and enough money to do an investigation?"
And he said, "Absolutely."
I said, "Are you calling for a new investigation?"
And he said, "No, Richard, I am going further than that." He said, "I am calling for a permanent 9/11 Commission."
And I said, "Senator, is this public? Can I announce that on the air? And are you willing to come on the air and say that?"
And he said, "Yes." http://www.youtube.com (link is no longer active)

On-air comments during a 2-hour 9/11 Special on Air America Radio in which he interviewed Lorie Van Auken, Col. Ann Wright, Gina Belafonte, and Janice Matthews, Executive Director of 911truth.org 9/11/07:
"The 9/11 Commission could not get what it wanted. 60 percent of what it requested of the White House was refused. Documentation refused. Requests for information refused by the Bush White House. And my question is, "What do they have to hide?" Because if you have nothing to hide, you don't obstruct the investigation into the greatest tragedy in American history. ...
I have my own opinions, but the only opinion I care to share right now is that there are unanswered questions and that the investigation is not complete. Now why do I say that? I say that because, as I said yesterday, I have personal knowledge of that fact. I have personal knowledge in speaking to Chairman Governor Kean of New Jersey, the Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, who said to me, to my face, "There was not enough time. There was not enough money to do anything further than what we did." i.e "We didn't complete the job." Commissioner Tim Roemer, a Congressman from Indiana, said to me "There wasn't enough time. There wasn't enough money. We did the best we could." And Senator Bob Kerry, who you hear on Air America on Saturdays on occasion, said the same thing, "Well there really wasn't enough time. There wasn't enough money."
Well you know what, that was a big event that happened six years ago and dammit, we need to have some questions answered. And I made a list, so we're going to be talking about that with Lorie Van Auken and Janice Matthews [Executive Director of 911Truth.org] . We're going to have a statement from Senator Mike Gravel, who is calling for a new investigation. And we're going to be talking to a bunch of other people." Audio at http://www.911truth.org
