On Friday, January 10, 2008 the Japanese government has taken rare steps
to force parliamentary approval of a controversial bill reviving a naval mission in the Indian Ocean in support of US-led forces in Afghanistan.

Ahead of the voting Councilor Yukihisa Fujita of Democratic Party of Japan, made a statement
at the House of Councillors, the National Diet (parliament) of Japan,
For 30 minutes he questioned the official version of 9/11 presented to the japanese government and the public by the US administration
He concluded that the japanese governments support of the "war against terror" is solely
based on information provided by the US-administration. He demanded further investigations and questions being answered in the face
of the governments drive to support the war more actively.

Councilor Fujity asked the current Prime Minister Fukuda, who was the Chief Cabinet Secretary under Koizumi cabinet in 2001 .
"How could terrorists attacked the Pentagon?"
Mr Fujita stressed that of the 24 people that died on 9/11 only 13 were identified and 11 bodies remain unaccounted for.
He pointed out that there was never an official police investigation into the deaths of these japanese nationals.
He asked whether terrorism is crime or war. Some Japanese people were killed, so he believes this was a crime and the japanese police
should investigate the real suspects.
The Japanese government assumed that the suspect was Al-Queda because Bush told then Prime minister Koizumi in 2001
after the attacks of 9/11 had happened
and later did send the self-defense force to Iraq based on that assumption.
Yukihisa Fujita did question Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Minister of Finance Fukushiro Nukaga about the way
in which the US government did inform the japanese government about the people responsible for the 9/11 attacks.


He then explained that in the USA many people doubt the official version of 9/11 and numerous websites and scientists
have collected evidence that contradicts the governments version.
He presented several largescale photographs of: the Pentagon´s entry and exit holes, the flight path towards the Pentagon,
the exploding WTC towers and the WTC 7 collapse.

He then explained about the suspicious stock transactions that were conducted in the days before the attacks
and stated that there had be foreknowledge.

After Councilor Yukihisa Fujita`s presentation the opposition-controlled upper house of parliament rejected the bill.
On the same day the legislation returned to the more powerful lower house, controlled by Prime Minister Fukuda´s ruling coalition,
which used its two-thirds majority to override opposition objections and force the bill into law.
This move is exceedingly rare in Japan, where the government tries to maintain the appearance of consensus rule.
The last time the lower house overruled a rejection by the upper house was in 1951.
The parliamentary session was extended by a month to mid-January to ensure the bill's approval.
Japan had in the past six years provided logistical support to forces involved in the war in Afghanistan, mainly supplying fuel to warships.


The Democratic Party of Japan (Minshinto) is a social liberal political party founded in 1998 by the merger of several smaller parties.
It is the second-largest party in the House of Representatives and the largest party in the House of Councillors,
and it constitutes the primary opposition to the long-dominant Liberal Democratic Party.
Yukihisa Fujita was elected to the House of Councillors for the first time in 2007
The party`s leader Ozawa insists the refueling mission violates Japan's pacifist constitution, and has not been approved formally by the United Nations
Ozawa claims that oil supplied by Japanese ships has been diverted for use in
operations in Iraq, an accusation the Americans deny.
Prime Minister Fukuda's predecessor Shinzo Abe resigned in September last year in part because of his failure
to extend the naval mission in the divided parliament.
