Gee. Lively exchange. Excellent articles CarolC.

I admit to being a bad, if not a first offender in the ad hominem area. A habit picked up at other sites. Mudcat is pretty polite. Folks do tend to gang up on me here, but that's fine. I abide it and bark back, and in the exchange I KNOW they're getting some information they might not come across otherwise. They can't discount everything.

What amazes me about 9/11 is that the govt didn't offer any explanation. Said it was "imperative" that we do something to combat the threat, then they didn't set about investigating the incident for 440+ days. Americans tend to trust govt, so we went along with a LOT in that year+, and now the govt still hasn't told us what happened on 9/11. The "final" report of the 9/11 commission didn't even mention WTC7.

I think people are desperate to believe the govt is telling the truth, and that's why ridiculous pieces like the Popular Mechanics thing gain traction. The PM piece is referred to constantly by the govt-controlled media now, and that's probably good because I imagine David Ray Griffin has done a thorough job disemboweling the piece. And the people who bought into the Popular Mechanics lie will just be that much more open to the truth when they learn they've been misled.
