9-11 box cutters 11 september utility knives

[Joseph Tracy]

I don't see a lot of debunking going on. Some bunking, yes.  But this is a wild stretch to say that because Horst, the midwestern Lutheran with a penchant for TV biographies, ball games and futures divination, was gone on 9-11 this debunks a theory that only a few paranoid Islamists had.  You negate the obvious in the story and cling to very tenuous interpretations
