The disgusting thing about Flight 93...
Don't you find it the least but disgusting that the Flight 93 tapes where released just in time to coincide with the release of the flight 93 the movie?

Or am I the only one completely appalled at the obvious commercialization of death?

To me this is more of morons* message of fear and terror by extension.

Moron* and his room full of dopes pimping the taped recordings of flight 93 to universal studio so that they will throw something together purely for propaganda purposes is truly at the high of despicable behavior.

Rotting in hell for these people* is not a suitable enough punishment.

colossal racist propaganda catapulting failure*

1. All is well because this movie has the blessing of the
family members. Maybe their way of honoring them? :shrug: I don't want to see it.

2. On TV right now they're talking about how they are using the tapes
to convince the jury to kill Moussaoui (sp?).

Quoting Butler, in V For Vendetta, "We have to remind the people why they need me!"

4. As if people didn't realize that something evil happened on 9/11....
Although poor deluded Moussaoui (sp? indeed) is probably more blameless than others we could name.



(How many of those calls were made while he sat in that classroom?)

3. I don't think it was orchestrated as much as it was opportunistic
BushCo saw the reaction to the Flight 93 trailer and got a fresh whiff of their favorite aphrodisiac, FEAR. I'm sure they've had the edited-down, sanitized, "Extra Fear!" version of the tapes in the can for a while, and this just allowed them to get a reminder out to Amurka that we could get blowed up by bad guys again at any moment.

Not to mention, it eats up some news cycles.

It is abolutely propaganda, but how/why it is coming to light now is the question.

9. Maybe to distract us from
what Scooter had to say about "specific permission"...

5. It is my understanding that the tapes will only be played...
for the court/jury. If they are played or released publicly, this is a gross violation of the policy in place by the FAA and ICAO regarding cockpit voice recorders.

8. I don't believe the movie is the REAL story of what happened...
to Flight 93. We will never know the true story.

10. I am encouraging a boycott of this movie.
I actually knew a guy who died on the flight, but I am not playing into the jingoistic heroic shit, as I am not convinced the triuth of the story is being revealed correctly.
