To Douglas Chalmers and others of like mind… I AGREE!

I agree we should “investigate the facts and evidence before jumping to a conclusion…” but therein lies the problem.

Where are you going to find these “facts?”

From the news reports? Not bloodly likely.

From your government? Not bloodly likely.

From any other government? Not bloodly likely.

By suing, eg freedom of information act? If you don’t mind a thousand sheets of almost blank paper to be provided - “national security” you know.

Sorry to be such a wet blanket here and my apologies if I offend those whose skills at fact-finding far exceed mine. As far as I’m concerned any “facts” are buried deeper than the dust of the towers.

Those (if there actually were any “those”) who, as Douglas alleges, concocted the “one big setup” which led to 911, are also securely anonymous, deep behind front after front. Any “evidence” us “little people” will ever find will be of little use - the rich and infamous behind all this are safe forever with powerhouse lawyers and an INjustice system capable of obfuscating this event for centuries.

So Douglas - I agree we should find the facts… but we never will any more than we will ever have the facts re John Kennedy’s assassination. We, the people, simply don’t have the power or the tools to get at the truth.

Mr. Fish captures Dubya so precisely - ignorant yet condescending.

You put a comma in there by mistake(?), purplewolf - try adding this /free/ww3/101003_bush_death.html Wow - Action Denied: Blacklisted Item Found on the full URL! Vehicles can be ‘made’ to roll forwards. Doesn’t this still happen quite often in Texas???

Duh, and Scheer has published this after having just told us it was all merely as a result of “box-cutters” and Arabs last week. Coming up to the 9/11 commemoration, then, lest we forget:-
911 Loose Change (79 min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E3oIbO0AWE&mode=related&search;=  “For anyone who still has doubts about 911, weigh out the facts and the overwhelming amount of evidence supporting the reality that the events of 911 were one big set-up…... This exposes the lies, disproving every aspect of the bogus 911 commission report put forth by the corrupt government…... Judge for yourselves, but investigate the facts and evidence before jumping to a conclusion…...”  http://www.septembereleventh.org/newsarchive/2005-05-22-571pglie.php
