Actually, it's your constant droning that those murders were perpetrated for either financial gain or to start a war (which is it for you? or is it both?) that dishonor those people. It's quite repugnant, actually.

Can't speak for them, but I suspect that there's some similarity between their answers and mine:

Hey... do you know that there are still groups of people who say man never walked on the moon? And I never engage them. Do you know why? Because in my heart and head I know that I'm right and they're wrong.
That's great! Then you should be able to apply the same thought process to this situation.

I know it's embarrassing myself to keep trying to get the world to read accurate information and to take a real interest in the events of that day, especially as pertains to the WTC. Sometimes I must look like a person who loves exercises in futility.

But it affected my life, changed it forever, and ten years later I live with the WTC every day, through the memory, through the poster on my office wall of our dead coworkers, through the little remainders of the day left in my brain, such as feeling floors move when they aren't moving, through the pride in looking out the window and watching those new buildings rise above the others in lower Manhattan.

I'm a little obsessive, and a can't-quit-the-day-job writer to boot. In addition, I've been a disaster junkie since I was a kid--ironic that I ended up being in two--always hungry for all the details of the Titanic, Pompeii, the Triangle Fire, even the Molasses Spill in 1919 in Boston. I figure there must be other people out there who want the facts, and I'm here for them, to tell the tale.

Good. I'm having a great time making all of you look hopelessly ignorant. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

A bombshell of epic proportions: Bush's counterterroism czar blows the whistle on the CIA


Richard Clarke, counterterrorism czar for the Bush administration, says the CIA recruited or attempted to recruit at least two of the alleged 19 hijackers, ostensibly to work as double agents. al-Hazmi and al-Midhar were members of al-Qaeda known to be loyal to bin Laden. The CIA admitted to tracking the two men as they attended an al-Qaeda summit in Malaysia in 2000.

When the two men attempted to re-enter the US shortly after, the CIA did not try to stop or apprehend them in anyway. Incredibly, two known al-Qaeda members were allowed to freely re-enter the country unimpeded to plan and eventually carry out their attack on the Pentagon in the following months on September 11. The CIA also failed or refused to notify the FBI that two terrorist suspects had just re-entered the country after attending an al-Qaeda summit? Why?


The official story has unraveled and become undone like a cheap suit.

Okay, lets assume it's all a Conspiracy......alright....

If it's TRUE, what are you Conspiratists going to DO about it?

It's been 10 years.

Instead of you posting for 10 years about your theories....what have you DONE to resolve it?

In case you haven't noticed, many organizations and groups have formed to pressure the government for a real independent investigation into 9/11.

It took the Bush administration two years just to begin their half-baked non-investigation into 9/11 which turned out to be more like a cover up. And they never would have done even that if it weren't for
relentless lobbying and pressure put on them by family members of the 9/11 victims.

Well, they want a new investigation. I have no problem with that, personally. But if they're going to do that, they'd better get their ducks in a row and do some real work outside of YouTube and Conspiracy Website World if they want to be taken seriously.

You can't very well stand up, for example, in front of anyone in the New York commercial real estate or international insurance business and try to persuade them that the net lessee made a huge profit off the WTC attacks. You'd be laughed at and dismissed as a nut.

And you'd better have some licensed structural PEs at your side when discussing the building collapses, not a friggin' architect who demonstrates the buildings falling by using cardboard boxes.

And you'd better have the cojones to be able to look Lauren Manning and the other burn victims--or the families of the burn victims who didn't leave Cornell alive--in the face and tell them that no jet fuel fire came down the elevator shafts.

Well, what are your results in 10 years?

How many independant investigations did you muster up, and how many more are planned?

If you squak and no-one listens, why not find a more viable protest?

The entire event was known about ahead of time and could and should have been stopped, but hey people like Cheney wanted to launch wars and people like Brezinski wanted to take our rights away. Notice how Al Qaeda seamlessly switches between being the boogieman and an ally.
