Paul, what is the link between structuralist (or Althusser-inspired) Marxism of the sort that usually gets published in RESEARCH IN POLITICAL ECONOMY and 911 conspiracy theory?

The implication is that the conspiracy involved both the hijackers and the pilots. The article claims that the pilot of the plane that flew into the Pentagon was a burly combat veteran who could have handled the hijackers with relative ease. If that's the case, then you must logically conclude that he was part of the mission. Ridiculous. -- www.marxmail.org
