Some truth is told, but a lot of is not revealed or altered to change the way people interpret it .
Possibly.
Probably.
People who benefit from the wars (*cough* certain oil companies *cough*).
Not at all.
I'm not old enough to really know, but I'd say so.
Flying USED to be fun.
We actually expected things done and said in private to remain private.
Free speech did not make you a terror suspect.
It was considered patriotic to question our leaders.
Buying fertilizer or gunpowder didn't get you put on a watch-list.
Carrying cash wasn't considered a suspicious activity.
Funny clothes or art projects were not percieved as bomb threats.
You could profess your faith publicly, without beeing seen as dangerous.
Sadly, I could go on and on.......
Anyone who is conviced that only his faith is THE WAY and is prepared to slaughter any one who dares to say different is insane and should be put in a round , rubber lined room in a custom fit "i love me ! " jacket !
Obsessive religous conviction of this sort has been responsible for more death , destruction and sheer human misery than all other sourcers combined !!!
Especially when you mix politics in to th' equation !
Unfortunatly , It works just far too often ( check "W's" track record ! )
And yes, it works FAR too often. Their motto is "When in doubt, LIE like a dog. When anyone questions the lie- call them Un-American/Racist/Conspiracy Wackos."
Could you send me a link on the good WTC7 explanations. My honest impression (at this point) is that 7 was damaged, and dangerous. Therefore the NYFD or similar agency took it down in a controlled fashion. That would make sense and is pretty benign. IF that's the case (and I understand it might not be, which would render this point moot), why not just say so?
And the "Armchair Admirals" are from a pretty diverse background. SOme of them may be kooks, and some may have an axe to grind, but somehow I think quite a few are sincere (even if they are mistaken).
If I had been a foreign aggressor with harmful intent towards a nation, relatively few resources, and knowledge of that plan, would it not make long-term sense to model an attack on that plan?
After all, the US nation (and the world) as a whole has suffered more inconvenience, and been subjected to more paranoia and hysteria, from US actions since the attack than AQ attacks.
How many resources have been put into countering the internal effects (say, policing a demonstration demanding "the truth about 9-11") that could otherwise have been put to much better uses, such as combating "real" crime, or paying for public health care?
After all, the real purpose of an attack like 9-11, or the London Tube Bombings is not to "kill the infidel", but to disrupt his actions? Just like the Bishopsgate bombing in the 90s was designed to disrupt the City, not kill people?
The pentagon attack is still the one that leaves the most questions in my mind.
- Conspiracy before hand? I don't think so.
- Poor communication between swecurity organisations? Probably.
- Incompetance? Possibly.
- Political exploitation afterwards? Certainly.

Nice one. Did you find that somewhere, or did you make it up?
"political exploitation"+"cover-up"= "criminal behavior" on the part of those who know (most of) the whole truth.
1) they weren't sure of what and where (incompetency, miscommunication)
or
2) they wanted something like this to happen to excuse the declaring of war (mr. Bush should have spent a month in Israel if he thought our incident was bad), btw, I would find this choice violently immoral and cold blooded, by ANY standards, and a side note, I am not trying to play down the tragedy because I see useless loss of life as a tragedy even if only one.
As for my own feelings of being safe are concerned, I don't worry to much about it (worry can give you worry lines, and one could then worry about that too ;-) BUT I certainly don't feel any safer then before.
Or, at very least, believe they have something that might have to be hidden, whether there is something of it or not. I fear many of our politicians have a streak of paranoid/schizophrenia ;-)
Just like the JFK conspiracy; ;-) sometimes we have overactive imaginations (if you are not familiar with Red Dwarf, check out that link, it is humorous at best ;-)
Could that not just be different standards of security back then?
When
(About a year later that I got pulled off a wall by one of Charlie's security goons, but that was in public, in Liverpool.)
BTW- It was a really innocent time in the US (at least outside of intelligence circles), and it was probably quite sometime before your average, tradional, patriotic American would ever suspect that it may have been an inside job. Previous assasinations had been (at least viewed as) fairly straight forward affairs, with all the (small number of) players seemingly brought out into the open. No real sense of a widereaching conspiracy, or cloak-and-dagger intrigue. ....But obviously times have changed.
Anyway, it is a peculiar train of thought to ask people what they were thinking BEFORE the assasination. Everyone who was alive at the time tells you where they were and how they felt when they saw the footage on TV, or heard the coverage on Radio. But nobody talks about what they were thinking in regard to Kennedy in the hours before his killing. Most everyone was just going about their baby-boom, work-a-day, God bless America life. And then they were blindsided out of left field with this occurence.
Yeah, now we have the X-Files to tell us what is true and what is not ;-)
