Re: Why not just blame extra-terrestrials??

Actually, as far as I'm concerned, an alien connection is much more plausible than the ludicrous bin-laden line... Moreover, if the US media-military complex had pinned 911 on some alien enemy, a large majority of Americans would have swallowed it hook, line and (flying) saucer --including you.

Footnote:

On October 30th, 1938, the United States experienced mass hysteria--most pronounced on the east coast in New York and New Jersey--in response to a radio broadcast put on by Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater On The Air. The public reaction has prompted decades of research into mass hysteria, been used as a model by the military around the world to design information warfare against enemy troops and civilian populace, and used as the most compelling reason to protect the public from the knowledge of the presence of aliens on Earth.
