I often see claims like this repeated, "six out of the Ten 9/11 Comission members have gone on record since to admit there was a U.S. government cover-up." Any truth to it? This last time I saw it was on this Facebook post by Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura on truTV. The page has 209,000 followers as of September 11, 2012.

9/11 truther propaganda.

I believe this claim is rooted in this webpage.

  • Does it matter? Do 6 of the 10 say anything was covered up?

    There is no claim that the member withdrew their findings. It could be that there is a coverup of something that did not impact their findings or that was disclosed in their findings.

No.

There was one commission member, Max Cleland, who "blasted" the White House and claimed a cover up. He withdrew as a commission member and was replaced by Bob Kerrey.

Aside from Max, I can find no evidence of any of the other members "going on record" to admit a government cover-up.

The full 9/11 report is available online (PDF) and the commission members are Thomas H. Kean, Lee H. Hamilton, Richard Ben-Veniste, Bob Kerrey, Fred F. Fielding, John F. Lehman, Jamie S. Gorelick, Timothy J. Roemer, Slade Gorton and James R.Thompson.
