Robert Scheer: Gaping Holes in the 9/11 Narrative

Five years out from the attacks, why do we still know so little about what really happened that day?

What we still don’t know about 9/11 could kill us. By “we” I mean the public that has been kept in the dark for five years by a president who may know the truth but has chosen to ignore it. Instead of grappling with the thorny origins of that disaster, George Bush willfully turned the nation’s attention and resources to a totally unrelated and disastrous imperial adventure in Iraq.

......................

In short, the most cited source that we have on what happened on 9/11, the much celebrated 9/11 Commission Report, was stage-managed by the Bush administration, just as it has controlled and distorted so much other information.

In light of that sorry record of the propagandistic exploitation of the 9/11 tragedy for partisan political purpose, is it any wonder that large numbers of Americans have doubts about all of it and that a considerable industry of documentaries and investigative reports has sprung up with alternative theories ranging from the plausible to the absurd?

4. no, there are not.

but it's the one question i want people to start asking themselves when they write these columns.

the nexus of money and power that bushco represents today -- the selection 00 -- the election theft 04 -- the questions around 9-11 -- the absence of an effective media -- these things aren't all a coincidence.

and while i don't believe in conspiracy war room co-ordinating all these nasty events -- there is a MOTIVE -- an over arching and heavy handed guiding philosophy.

and a good number of powrful and wealthy individuals who are in agreement with the goal -- to create a permanent conservativ erepublican majority.

6. Is robert Scheer one of those powerful and wealthy

individuals who are in agreement with the goal of creating a permenant Conservative Republican Majority? And if so what evidence do you have that he is?

3. The Robert Scheer I always loved to read in the LA Times

before he got fired and replaced by a real neo-con Max Boot, is quite the progressive. Whom are you talking about?

[xchrom]

5. no, no -- he's fine -- he's a good guy.

it's just the one question that should always guide anyone these days when writing about our current situation -- that's all.

i should have said that.

7. God would I love to see this go big time, where everyone

could see this administration and its thugs for what they are.
