I'm not some wild-eyed conspiracy buff. I'm not going to buy into kooky stuff like remote controlled planes or Isreali agents pulling of 9/11 and that sort of thing. But, I as a thinking American am concerned about how and why our government failed to prevent and react to 9/11. There is a body of evidence that the U.S. government had been forewarned of a 9/11 style attack both internally (FBI, CIA) and externally (other government's intelligence agencies). I have a very hard time believing that the CIA, the most powerful intelligence organization in the world, had no idea that something like 9/11 was brewing. LOL! I certainly wouldn't put it past the CIA to just let something like 9/11 happen. As if the CIA give a rats ass about anything but serving powerful wealthy elites. This is the government agency that has been involved in all sorts of verified illegal activity over the past 50 years, from drug running in the 1970s and 1980s (admitted in Congression testimony in the late 1990s) to fund covert ops, to disposing of democractically elected governments around the world so U.S. corporations could control their resources, to supporting repressive regimes around the world (for the same reasons of control), to even interferrring in our own election process in 1980 when the CIA made contact with the Iranians to keep the American hostages in captivity, to ensure that their man Reagan was elected. 9/11 really is a sad chapter in American history that should never be repeated. Unfortunately, it's the best thing to ever happen to Bush and the defense/intelligence community. I mean, around $250 Billion (at least) has been thrown their way since 9/11. Anyone who looks at the U.S. as it really is today has to conclude that our government has been hijacked by some very powerful corporate interests and that the government is out of control and not living up to it's obligations to defend us.
