PLEASE don't make the pentagon issue the central focus. this is a serious mistake.
there is a reason that the 'debunkers' focus on this aspect of the attack - there is no serious evidence that anyone can point to. there isn't a clear picture of the hole before the pentagon caves in, too much smoke in every pic i've seen.
i'm not saying that something funny didn't happen at the pentagon, i mean it's pretty interesting the the office of naval intelligence was hit, many casualties of that attack (that section was under major renovation) were accountants and budget analysts.
especially when they were responsible for tracking things like this:

On Sept. 10, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not on foreign terrorists, "the adversary's closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy," he said.
...
"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.
oops.
september 10th, 2.3 trillion missing, rumsfeld tells congress. what happened to that money? it's an interesting question.
but at the end of the day if you focus on the pentagon you will miss the serious evidence in new york.
as to when those tapes get released, if they're smart they'll wait until the right moment, perhaps it's approaching:

When it comes to what they knew prior to September 11th, 2001, about possible terrorist attacks against the United States, do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying?
