Norton,

I didn't read the whole site, but part of the threme seems to be, that no plane hit the Pentagon? Have I got that right?

Or, is it that there were no hijackers? Or that the Government hired people to set up the hijacking and crash of the plane?

Or all of the above?

Hoo boy. Well I'll give you my thoughts for what they're worth.

First, about it being a plane. I too live near the Pentagon as you know... no doubt exists in my mind that a plane caused the damage. I know at least two eyewitnesses. And I know people who are working with the three local schools that each lost a teacher and a student on that plane, "the best and brightest" in each case. And a woman in the Navy who had to wear decontamination clothing while she helped clear computer equipment out of the target area. She went to the funerals of seven of her friends - "the best and the brightest" was her expression. No doubt in her mind that it was a terrorist plane.

And I've read the local accounts of people who were horribly burned, people who were or were not rescued from that inferno.... Sorry, it's too damn close....

There's enought wreckage to prove it was a plane.... Even the plane that was driven into the ground in Pennsylvania, disintegrated almost completely. The photo of the jet crash in Amsterdam notwithstanding.

Second. Do I think that Dubya set it up, or some right-wing groups in the Govt set it up? Well nastier things have happened in this world but -- cui bono? Yes, the aftermath has greatly helped Dubya's popularity and yes, certain anti-Arab right wingers are really making hay now --- I won't go into my rage at the way the rights of Muslim American citizens have been trampled around here recently.

But I think they're just conscienceless opportunists.... Which is a much lower level of evil.

Now. I almost never sound off in these opinion threads but that web site pulled my chain! I do think that Dubya was callous and self serving and short sighted and shallow and uncaring of people's lives when he decided to ignore the warnings of possible terrorist activity, including hijackings. After all, if he had done anything about the warnings, it might have interfered with the traffic at the airports and thus cost the airlines some money! Can't have that....

I think he was as usual money-centered and morally bankrupt. (You may have gathered that I'm not a Republican....) But I don't think he or anyone else in the right wings of the government actually, ACTIVELY abetted the Pentagon incident or the WTC incident.

Whoa. Sorry... One reason I almost never read the BS threads.... Hard to stop once I start!

Take care, Rita
