Ah, yes - they couldn't possibly make a mistake! Really? Why not? The fact is, of course they could have - and would have, if they'd been in the role that the al Qaeda terrorists were in. However, there seems to be a big difference - orders of magnitude, in my opinion - between the cause and nature of an error whereby one of the hijacked planes crashes before reaching its objective...versus one that contemplates a massive intelligence operation where - as the theory apparently holds - the very agents of the attacking agency are observed...laughing...and filming the event...in broad daylight...during the attack...within the vicinity. And, moreover, are so clumsy as to be caught shortly thereafter. You disagree, I'm sure, but that's nothing less than the wonderful cacophony of dissenting opinions. Simultaneously, the fact that the U.S. allowed the attack to happen is chalked up to numerous glaring mistakes. I certainly believe that there were massive intelligence, law enforcment, and procedural mistakes that tragically contributed to the lethality of Bin Laden's men on September 11, 2001. But it's a "fact" that the U.S. "allowed the attack to happen"? As evidenced by what? Don't worry, it's not like we are expecting any kind of consistency from you. When you say "we," who exactly do you represent yourself as speaking on behalf of? LPS5

Interesting episode of CITY CONFIDENTIAL on A&E last night. Dealt with the case of a New Jersey rabbi who was convicted of hiring a hit man to kill his wife. The hit man was a wannabe Mossad agent. Apparently the rabbi convinced him that his wife was an "enemy of the Jews" (even though she was a Jew)and therefore it was OK to kill her. This was, of course a lie. But note the implicit assumption that it is OK to kill "enemies of the Jews." Frankly I am amazed this story appeared on a major cable network. Could there be a few secret anti-Zionist agents working in the mainstream media?
