which still does not explain why jet fighters weren't scrambled, as
they should have been.
so some of those arguments do not stand close exposure. ok.
what about the really intriguing ones? why in hell weren't those
planes stopped?
must have been the lack of federal funds.
it sounds really convenient to me to discard all of the arguments as
irrelevant because some of them are, and just not mention those that
raise interesting issues.
governments lied to us before, we still listen to what they have to say, don't we.

DM> This beauty contains the following:

DM> the mainstream media line that the US *blundered* by allying with the 
DM> Islamic fundamentalists who then turned against their creator, etc., etc."
DM> Which implies (isn't it obvious?) that if this intelligence expert endorses

DM> "In Afghanistan, the hidden agenda is oil. The Bush Administration held a

DM> this is exactly what is happening today in Afghanistan."

DM> This is highly documented. Are you saying it didn't happen?"">>

DM> Doesn't everybody know that secret negotiations are all "highly documented?"
