Gravel, who served in the Senate from 1969 to 1980, also stated that he believes that members of the U.S. government "may certainly have participated with the obviously known perpetrators" of the September 11th attacks. "Obviously an act that has triggered three wars, Afghan, Iraqi and the continuing War on Terror, should be extensively investigated", Gravel continued, "which was not done and which the government avoids addressing."

Gravel, who somewhat famously read the Pentagon Papers into the congressional record, also praised WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as a modern day Daniel Ellsberg. "The revelations of Wikileaks are not an endangerment to American troops in our far flung Empire, but they truly are an embarrassment to America's political leadership today," Gravel said.
