Great video Paul, well done. Here's a link to a recent court case of Havlish vs Iran that proved Iran's involvement and guilt in the planning of 911. For some reason the 911 Truthers have avoided even commenting about this very important recent case.

Why hasn't this been widely reported? Is this for real? I'm having a hard time squaring this ruling with the total lack of coverage it has received. I'm going to spread this around.
The ruling is a "default judgement", the judge ruled against Iran because Iran did not opt to defend itself. In the case there is presented what appears to be significant (but mostly circumstantial, or third hand) evidence that Iran provided aid to al Qaeda, and is therefore liable for damages, and since they did not defend themselves, then there was a default judgement against them. The ruling is more a point of law than anything.
The actual claims are greatly disputed, see:

dossier with their names, passport pictures and fingerprints to the United Nations. Iran also
repatriated at least 200 of those detainees to the newly formed government of Afghanistan.
US Ambassador Ryan Crocker
revealed last year that, in late 2001, the Iranians had been willing to discuss possible surrender of the senior al Qaeda officials it was detaining to the United States and share any intelligence they had gained from their investigations as part of a wider understanding with Washington. But the neoconservative faction in the administration
rejected that offer, demanding that Iran give them the al Qaeda detainees without getting anything in return.
Iran's crackdown on al Qaeda continued in 2002-03 and netted a number of top officials. One of the senior al Qaeda detainees apparently detained by Iran during that period, Saif al-Adel, later
told a Jordanian journalist that Iran's operations against al Qaeda had "confused us and aborted 75 percent of our plan." The arrests included "up to 80 percent" of Abu Musab al Zarqawi's group, he said, and those who had not been swept up were forced to leave for Iraq.
In further negotiations with the Bush administration in May 2003, Iran again
offered to turn over the senior al Qaeda detainees to the United States in return for the MEK captured by US forces in Iraq. The Bush administration again refused the offer.
By 2005, a "senior US intelligence official" was
publicly admitting that 20 to 25 top al Qaeda leaders were in detention in Iran and that they were "not able to do much of anything."
In 2008, one US official
told ABC news that administration officials had not been raising the al Qaeda issue publicly, because "they believe Iran has largely kept the al Qaeda operatives under control since 2003, limiting their ability to travel and communicate."
But in the world of the right-wing Islam-hating extremists and others pushing for confrontation with Iran, reality is no obstacle to spinning tales of secret Iranian assistance to al Qaeda.
