Hi TH. ((I am reserving judgement on this until I have hard fact. Maybe that hard fact never materializes. Is it possible?)) I think it is important to reserve judgement until you find sufficient cause to believe any "story". To my mind, there is more than enough evidence to criminally prosecute if their existed the political will. But that's just my assessment. Another person may feel otherwise. ((You are certainly correct that it would have to be a very small and select group to pull this off)) I want to be clear here that it would be a relatively small number of persons who would have been fully aware of the overall scope of the program in its operational details. However, there would have been a fair number that would have known something was coming. The proof for this is the insider trading that occurred the morning prior to the 9-11 bombing in certain stocks (airlines and others). This was highly anomalous trading activity, and orders came in from all over the world. So if the bombing was a secret, it was an open secret. ((Certainly Bush was not involved.)) I do not believe that is an accurate statement. Bush would certainly have been complicit in the knowledge of U.S. accommodation in the 9-11 attacks. However, Bush would not have had a command role in operations. The Bush family is VERY "connected". Remember, his pappy was a past director of the CIA. Black ops would be nothing new to the Bush family. A caveat: obviously, this is my opinion only, but I believe it to be an informed opinion. I don't consider myself to be either Democrat or Republican either, and have little use for the establishment of either party. Bush is not as stupid as you figure. I mean, he's no rocket scientist, but he understands the game, and whose master he's serving IMO. ((There is no doubt that the media is corrupt and controlled, but a true believer liberal would have risked all to expose such a story, provide there were facts.)) Err, I would never want to call anyone naive. But ... (smile). If you get a chance, you should read some personal stories of reporters or individuals who have tried to expose what they felt to be criminal conspiracies, and what happened to them as a result. When Catherine Austin Fitts was on Jim Puplava's FSO online, she described her experience in trying to bring criminal activity at HUD to the authorities as being like Will Smith's character in Enemy of the State. For less sensational stories of reporters who have risked their careers in pursuit of authentic journalism, again I refer you to Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press: amazon.com ((I will keep an open mind.)) Me too. :) Best regards, Glenn
