need I say more?

Scahill versus Todd.

It's just so much fun watching intel agents debate!

Yet the deeper issues keep getting overlooked.

have infiltrated the media. I wouldn't be at all surprised if people like Klein and Todd were covert CIA.

But it's still odd how even liberal bloggers won't question the official 9/11 story.

they are so freaking whacked out even when they are right!

When are you going to touch this issue, Glenn???

Why? Particularly when there are so many holes in the official 9/11 story.

Yet we continue to use al Qaeda and 9/11 to justify two major wars that are sapping our country and killing countless numbers of innocent people.

Yes, I am being sarcastic. However, sadly I can easily see wingnuts using this argument.

it is truly disturbing

they are deeply embedded throughout govt and media, but we can never have an honest, decent govt until these people are gone.

just like Digby, who you reference a lot here. But just like Digby, you only seem to touch the surface. If Digby goes deeper, she tends to get all confused about why things could possibly be like this. You, on the other hand, tend to go into a mocking tone, without getting into the deeper reasons. Really, can't you go a bit deeper into the corruption and the control of the govt by the powers that be?

These behaviors by the media and by our politicians don't exist in a vacuum. There is a deeper explanation for all of this bullshit you describe here every day, and I imagine you have some idea of a deeper conspiracy. Frankly, it just seems disingenuous of you to keep writing these stories day after day without making a larger point about who is controlling all of this and why.

There's really only one way to reconcile this-- 9/11 was an inside job by the evil fucks in the govt, al Qaeda are patsies, torture was part of the cover-up and the Repubs and Dems are all complicit in the cover-up.

and that the WTC was blown by demolition-- things with which I agree.

having crimes go unpunished is simply a recipe for worse behaviour-- and I think it's clear that our government has gotten worse over the years, not better.

Hmmm?

just for fun-- because you know, it's so outrageous to think that otherwise....

and need to be prosecuted for war crimes alongside the CIA and Bush admin psychopaths!

grrr...

The intelligence agencies control the media. That is why the major media takes such an authoritarian stance.

Please take some time and learn about Operation Mockingbird.

9/11 was an inside job-- the towers were nuked, the plane videos were faked.

putatively because of 9/11, could also be the same people who DID 9/11.

They were evil enough to destroy the govt and torture people, but they would never be evil enough to perpetrate 9/11.

Is that how it goes?

color me not surprised that Obama is upholding the same bogus legal strategy as employed by the Bush admin.

such as 9/11, and the "whole war on terror" scam.

-- like both Bush and Cheney-- and it's not hard to ascribe to worst motivations to these sick people

if charges were brought against them for abetting war crimes for their pro-torture propaganda efforts?

and the mainstream media is controlled by the CIA

9/11 was clearly an inside job, as much as people hate to admit it, and all this media protection of the torturers only serves to conceal this horrible truth. The torture itself was part of the 9/11 coverup-- coerced and clearly bogus confessions from putative al-Qaeda terrorists such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

and they should be treated as such.

designed to make us sympathize with Israel and to demonize Hamas. 9/11 itself was part of this.

The tragedy is people on both sides don't want a peaceful co-existence, although most people want this.

One major problem is the illogical belief in religion, the other major problem is the ultimate evil that drives humanity to murder each other.

Curious how often that simple fact is missing from these mainstream discussions.

before she ran for office.

they are doing their bidding for their Wall Street masters.

The CIA is Wall Street-- and the CIA is heavily infiltrated in the media.

But more than that-- I wish the press would push this issue of ignoring the law much more, and actually give the McCain people a hard time about this.

was that she was doing public business with her private email account-- and then keeping it private?

just like 9/11

given approval in a secret court. Worth reading Arthur Silber on this:

as far as Pelosi, she is a disgusting person, who has enabled war-criminals to stay in power

but pontificate endlessly about how what he said was so horrible black people and for Obama, without ever mentioning exactly what he said, or actually discussing its merits.

he is more evil media trash.

It's long been fairly clear that the official 9/11 narrative is a load of bunk, and that the media (as a whole) simply won't deal with the facts and instead is covering up for the govt.

Glenn seems to be laboring under the misunderstanding that the media actually cares about the truth of 9/11.

The opposite is quite definitely the case: they are part of the cover-up.

"And the media believed all of that about Bush and they now believe it all about McCain."

Please, the media you are referring to aren't dumb, they are simply bought and paid for.

The quote should be 'And the media promoted all of that propaganda about Bush and they now promote that propaganda about McCain.'
