I am one of many who has investigated the facts surrounding the tragedy that is 9/11.
There are very disturbing questions and damning evidence that establishes the motive and means for the Bush adminstration's involvemnt.
My question is simply, why is it so hard to discuss this with my family and my friends just as equally as anyone other political topic? Is it just me?
I think the problem is that by default legitimate questioning is deemed a conspiracy theory. You have to realize though, also that 18 terrorists with international financing attending flight training schools and flying planes into buildings is a conspiracy theory in itself.
Why aren't both in the same category?
When you read from wikipedia that:
The commission [9-11 Commission] was given a startup appropriation of only $3 million and made a subsequent funding request for $11 million in order to meet its target date for completion. As a point of comparison, $50 million was set aside to investigate the destruction of the space shuttle Columbia, and $40 million was set aside to investigate Bill Clinton's lying about his indiscretions with Monica Lewinsky.
And:
The 9/11 Commission investigation began 411 days after the attacks, whereas the investigations into the attack on Pearl Harbor and the assassination of JFK began after only 9 and 7 days, respectively.
The 9/11 Commission didn't investigate this matter with the veracity that it should have given a crime of this heinousness.
This recent story out of Pakistan showed that interested parties could pay off the government to ignore evidence and obscure the facts:
The Pakistan foreign office had paid tens of thousands of dollars to lobbyists in the US to get anti-Pakistan references dropped from the 9/11 inquiry commission report, The Friday Times has claimed.
It seems that the scope of the Neoconservative/New-Style Republican movement knows no bounds. Why is this red hot damning piece of evidence pointing a bright red arrow at the adminstration just sitting by the way side. I find it hard to bring up with family and friends, do others feel equally dissuaded to rally around this cry?
I think one thing we could do would be to change the official designation/recognition of these theories in Wikipedia.
