According to a report by Deadspin last June, Carroll supposedly questioned retired general Peter Chiarelli, who at the time had just concluded his term as vice chief of staff for the Army. As the report noted, Carroll “wanted to know whether the attack on the Pentagon had really happened.”

“Every 9/11 conspiracy theory you can think of, Pete asked about,” Riki Ellison, the former NFL linebacker who now runs the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance and was present at the meeting, told Deadspin. “And he didn’t stop at 9/11—he had lots of questions about the role of the military today.”

Over the course of the last two weeks, Carroll was never asked about his alleged comments, and at the time Ellison chalked up his line of questioning simply to curiosity and skepticism. "Pete grew up in California during Vietnam, and during Watergate,” he said. “That's just the perspective he brings to the table."

Read that in another article, where he praised Jones for "asking the questions that haven't been asked."

The guy is a loon.

I see Matthew Mills is from WeAreChange, I think Alex helped them when the Giuliani's or Bloomberg's security guards smashed/confiscated their cameras. So their relationship is pretty clear.

Mills is affiliated with WeAreChange, an organization whose aim is "confronting prominent and powerful people with the tough questions the mainstream media doesn't want to ask."

It would surprise me if Pete Carroll said something, I remember when Mark Cuban tried to get into the game with Alex Jones and it didn't go well for him.

I've seen the craziest accusations from them.

"Missiles projecting holograms hit WTC and the Pentagon"
"Super-thermite (which doesn't exist,) brought down the WTC"
"WTC building 7 was undamaged (or lightly damaged so they blew it up"
"The Mossad did it, warning Jews to get out of the WTC"
"Obama was behind it"

Just on and on, any and every wack job conspiracy theory, and even after all the credible evidence says it was a terrorist attack, you can't convince the FTB's.

Just like with the "FDR planned Pearl Harbor attack" conspiracy theorists, or the JFK, RFK and MLK conspiracy theorists, the simple fact that shit happens without need of a "huge government/illuminati/Jews/Satanic conspiracy just can't get past the CT'ers' thick heads.

the nerve.

After being informed of the Department of Defense's Able Danger project by U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer, he failed to have the 9/11 Commission investigate, despite the promise that the Commission would investigate all 9/11 related topics. Able Danger was not included in the Commission's final report. In 2005 and 2006 the Chairman of the House Select Intelligence Committee, Rep. Curt Weldon, publicized Shaffer's allegations in public statements and hearings.[10]
