Look at what the authorities are doing to wikileaks
http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/12/06/wikileaks/index.html

Just look at what the U.S. Government and its friends are willing to do and capable of doing to someone who challenges or defies them -- all without any charges being filed or a shred of legal authority. They've blocked access to their assets, tried to remove them from the Internet, bullied most everyone out of doing any business with them, froze the funds marked for Assange's legal defense at exactly the time that they prepare a strange international arrest warrant to be executed, repeatedly threatened him with murder, had their Australian vassals openly threaten to revoke his passport, and declared them "Terrorists"...

This is where wikileaks hasn't really exposed any new type of crime, that we didn't already have hints of from info already in the public domain. Mostly, wikileaks has just made this info more prominent and more embarrassing.

Now imagine what the authorities would do to someone who obtained or released official documents showing the worst possible thing-- active government or military complicity in 9/11.

Gee, it's so hard to figure why no whistleblower might come forward.

Another thing-- with all the crap that's come out about what the people in power have done in the past ten years (see the Bush administration, etc), not to mention any study of the lies involved in getting the US into wars in the past 60 years (see "War Is a Lie"), why is it so god-damned hard for people to accept the idea that 9/11 was a govt job?

1. My vote would be that...
you don't have any concrete proof that "9/11 was an inside job", dude.

Funny thing...proof actually persuades people. Your goofy bullshit just makes people laugh.

2. Heh
Saudi Arabia is financing terrorism.

We all knew it, and now we know even the Clintons knew it.

So....about all those who believe the 19 hijackers are to be blamed, what have they done about Saudi Arabia?

Nothing. Not a gawd damn thing. They go around professing their story, but have they done one damn thing to fight their enemy? No. They just attack, attack, attack the citizen "Troofers" and let SA slide away with their justice.

3. "why is it so god-damned hard for people to accept the idea that 9/11 was a govt job?"
because the Bush administration being filled with assholes doesn't mean 9/11 was an inside job.
to make that statement, you would need something called "evidence".
you have none.

5. As always, you copy/paste crap without looking at the source
you copied from a mirror of the American Free Press site.
who is the American Free Press?

The American Free Press (AFP) is a weekly newspaper published in the United States. According to one former correspondent, the AFP's direct ancestor was the publication The Spotlight, which ceased publication in 2001 when its parent company, Liberty Lobby, was forced into bankruptcy. Like The Spotlight and Liberty Lobby, Willis Carto was one of its founders.

The AFP publishes articles on current world events, 9/11 conspiracy theories. It is classified as an active hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The work of one of its writers, Michael Collins Piper, has been characterised as "characteristic of an effort by anti-Semites and white supremacists to repackage themselves as 'alternative media voices' claiming to tackle stories the mainstream media in the US won't touch."

Nice job, Immune.

6. And as usual,
your little diatribe didn't even attempt to deal with the content of that post. So are you saying Mueller didn't make those statements and the articles didn't appear in the LA Times and the Washington Post?

Or are you saying Mueller didn't know what he was talking about, or that he's an anti-Semite? What's your point?

8. Did you see
one word of hate for anybody in that article? Did you see one lie in that article? Of course you didn't. So attacking the source is all you have. Pitiful.
