I remember the day of the WTC bombing that there were reports of a group of Arabs dancing on the roof of a building across the harbor, who had been arrested by the FBI.

I never heard about the white van.

But my gut tells me there's more to this story than either side is letting on.

My name is tom watson. I'm posting to all here that the moderator FaultLine has decided to ban Michael D. Cummings from this thread. I've read Mike's posts for a long time and the clarity, civility and honesty in his posts make them a joy to read. I also read the last two hundred posts to try and understand why my friend was banned.

Faultline you claim in your profile that you are an engineer. All engineers seek truth. I don't see truth or honesty or honor in the way you have dealt with a good man. A good man I call my friend.

If you ever were an engineer you have made me ashamed.

And you can kick me out this narrow minded place of faulty thinking because after seeing you in action I do not see any further point in posting here. You made a quantum screw up and dealt dishonestly with a fine honest mind.

I am an engineer. BSEE tom watson tosiwmee the OFFICIAL Silicon Investor WaCkY MarKEtZoiD En-Gin_EaR EXTRODINAIRUS
