Subject: RE: BS: Michael Moore - 9/11 could be inside job
you proclaim ad hominem at Ebbie, yet you use something like Tuskegee to bolster YOUR claims?

"Well, sneaky people sometimes manage to hide their naughtiness, and since the 'true' villains, whom I'm sure must exist, of 9/11 haven't been caught, that proves they are hiding the truth!"

They have been using that technique for years to claim the 100MPG carburetor is just 'being hidden' by the oil companies....proof? Well, we don't have it, so it is being hidden!

Don't you see what the driving premise in your complex syllogism is?

"...whom I'm sure must exist" !

IF you assume that this was an inside job, then you MUST have those other premises in order to reach your already determined conclusion!...and this already determined conclusion was chosen by ignoring or discounting experts like S. Shyam Sunder of NIST in favor of writers and self-proclaimed 'investigators! (read this entire article!)

Once you apply a limited layman's knowledge of physics, building construction, metallurgy, and aircraft fuel to an already huge distrust of the bureaucracy, you arrive at a place where you MUST contrive even more arcane theories and conspiracies in order to support your flawed premises. Layer upon layer of "they" are posited to explain planning, planting explosives, orchestrating cover-ups, coordinating with Muslims, doctoring records, planning the invasion that this was all done to enable, and weaving lies even more complex than the conspiracy to hide the truth!

The Tuskegee lies were minuscule by comparison! That took only hiding some records and swearing a few people to secrecy.
