Chris,
Re: Is the Bush administration a bunch of evil geniuses or village idiots ?
My understanding is a combination of the two. They haven't done a very convincing job of covering their tracks and have really pissed a lot of us off with their high handed and cavalier attempts to suppress any investigations into the events surrounding Operation 911.
Since you are the greatest proponent of the "official line" on this thread and seem to be very desirous of ridiculing those of us who are certain that there is cause for alarm concerning the Bushies involvement in the 911 attacks, I'd like to have you offer us up your best answers to this series of questions that have been posed by some of us who have been investigating this tragedy for a year and an half and have become increasingly alarmed by the stonewalling of the Bushistas, and the subsequent events (seizure of pipeline right-of-way in Afghanistan, seizure of Iraqi oil fields, USA PATRIOT Act, etc.) which have been justified on the basis of the purported threat of future events like the attacks of 9/11.

I would sincerely like to have you try to settle these questions for us. I'm just as unhappy as you are with the crazy propeller-headed theories that keep popping up. It would be nice to put this story to bed. Can you help?
Best, Ray |
