The reference I made was directed more at those who are fully aware of the massive holes in the official story, yet expend enormous amounts of effort at misdirection. I'd honestly like to see some informed opposing view points that amount to something other than name calling. You know; post the links, quote the facts, weed out the anonymous sources, connect the dots, etc. While I don't believe it's possible to support the official story in that manner, I find it remarkable that not one critic has attempted to do so. If bin Laden did it, there should be a mountain of evidence to back it up. Phone records, wire transfers, banking accounts, brokerage accounts with trades placed, detailed accounts backtracking the movements of the suspects and their contacts, surveillance tapes, computer records, emails, finger prints, dental records, DNA tests, work history, family background, past associations, criminal histories, military records, etc., etc., etc. There would also be investigations and arrests, with very public trials. The black boxes would have been recovered and every news agency in the country would be doing interviews with flight controllers on the pilots last words. The President would have jumped up at being informed the country was being attacked and kicked ass to see Air Force jets scrambled, and I mean NOW. The Air Force pilots would be doing PR tours to laude their quick responses. And the list goes on and on. Wouldn't there be SOMETHING beside an obviously faked confession tape?
