Bullshit. But you're welcome to spin whatever fiction you want about my post but one thing it wasn't was non-sequitur. Apparently it was to difficult for you to understand. But I'm not going to bother playing badminton with Judy on this issue. For those who don't know she is very closed minded about it. She swallows hook, line and sinker the Bush Administration "Official Story" (the one they sanctioned though they were drug kicking and screaming to it). This shows she has a lack of intellectual curiosity. She's not alone as there are a bunch of liberal "gatekeepers" who buy the "official story" just as there are even more conservatives who do too. There are also plenty of liberals who don't buy the "official story" either. For instance, Gore Vidal originally said it was "pretty convenient" and now says it was a flat out inside job. Gore is privy to talk among the mucky-mucks the rest of us aren't. There is of course volumes of research into the subject refuting the "official story." Some may be far fetched and some may be right on the mark. Maybe someday we'll really know. But if it was truly like the report shows people in this country would be really upset and NEVER again trust government nor big business (they're starting to do that anyway). And those who did it know that. If the FBI has all the videotapes of the plane that hit the Pentagon why not release them? That would that debate wouldn't it? It must show a US made missile instead of an aircraft. But they trusted that the public wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and a commuter plane. And then what about building 7? I've seen wild speculation here that the two towers would have damaged it but building engineers would tell even if it were damaged it wouldn't fall. You all know there were files on ongoing SEC investigations stored in that building don't you like on Enron?
