That photo editor worked for the supermarket tabloid publishing company owned by an "ex" CIA person. It is the same town where the flight school that trained hijackers" is located,also owned by an "ex" CIA person.
For years they have used the tabloids to spread lies, memes, disinformations and distractions. Everyone who goes through a checkout line gets the headlines at eye level - far more effective than billboards.
So why did THAT photo editor have to be killed?
Where does that path lead? Probably down yet another rabbit hole.
After 911, everyone still went to their workplace and carried on business as usual.
After the Anthrax Mailings, some folks didn't open their mail, some people took medication, some people bought both plastic sheets and duct tape.
Microbes are scarier than airplanes flying into buildings. The Anthrax Mailings made everyone feel like a potential target and that is how the Administration and the MSM played it to everyone.
WE have found the terrorists.
Cheney wanted to dress American Soldiers up as Iranians, put them in boats, have the shoot at the Navy, get killed by return fire, and voila, a pretext for war.
Seymour Hersh:
"HERSH: There was a meeting. Among the items considered and rejected — which is why the New Yorker did not publish it, on grounds that it wasn’t accepted — one of the items was why not…
There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up. Might cost some lives.
And it was rejected because you can’t have Americans killing Americans. That’s the kind of — that’s the level of stuff we’re talking about. Provocation. But that was rejected.
So I can understand the argument for not writing something that was rejected — uh maybe. My attitude always towards editors is they’re mice training to be rats.
But the point is jejune, if you know what that means. Silly? Maybe. But potentially very lethal. Because one of the things they learned in the incident was the American public, if you get the right incident, the American public will support bang-bang-kiss-kiss. You know, we’re into it.
…What happened in the Gulf was, in the Straits, in early January, the President was just about to go to the Middle East for a visit. So that was one reason they wanted to gin it up. Get it going.
Look, is it high school? Yeah. Are we playing high school with you know 5,000 nuclear warheads in our arsenal? Yeah we are. We’re playing, you know, who’s the first guy to run off the highway with us and Iran."

So, who really thinks he wouldn't have done 9/11 just to be able to start a war and make some big bucks?
Suicide? Not likely. Have to protect the people who really did the Anthrax attacksand this suicide closes the case.
Someone else who could have embarrassed Cheney also recently "committed" suicide.
I thought Obama was sounding like Bush.
If it were a man it would be OK, right?
You mean that our intelligence agencies are going to be replaced by the people they are whoring for???
That is the way it is supposed to be.
Remember Hillary's awful ads?
This election is about as real as any WWE contest.
Well duh?
What makes you think McCain isn't going to have a "health" problem before the convention?
Did anyone really think the Republicans wanted McCain as President?
Romney will be good for business.
Yeah, how often are white politicians and leaders described as "arrogant"?
How often are white politicians and leaders described as "articulate"?
Racism exists and it is stupid and low class.
Keep hyping it and treating its purveyors as if they were worth mentioning.
Journalsim talks about itself pretending that it is journalism.
Journalist?
Journalsimist!
Sociopaths and psychopaths are damned sexy.
No wonder there are so damned many of them.
Keep filling people with negative memes please.
At this point anyone who enlists is unqualified.
He has always been a Red, just like Lyndon Larouche (the Red).
Deep cover moles for the Reds - all of them.
Why do you think we gave China most favored nation trading status and transfered our industry and jobs over there?
It's the Reds, dumbass!
What about Walmart?
Reds - all of them.
Those early morning meetings are only missing Chairman Mao's little red book.
The dopers and oilmen (the Bush Syndicate) are the only thing keeping white and blue in our flag.
The Trilateralists and the WTOers will sell their grandparents for the price of a cup of Seattle's Finest and guess who Obama is fronting for?
No, they aren't Reds, but they will sell the Reds the rope by which they shall hang us all. Some Commie said that a long time ago.
Worse than the Red Chinese Menace and the Oympics, Budweiser has been bought by a Belgian company - payback for that Austin Power's movie.
There are things worse than the REDS!
The contents of that toilet, red, blue, republican and/or democrat, needs to be flushed.
Democracy isn't working - at least not in this country.
She did a fair impression of a human being last night. Apparently she has forgotten that it was the democrats that failed to follow the wishes of the voters in the 2006 election and now sells the whole continuing the war thing is the republicans fault. She figures that if she smiles we will believe her. You cannot spell "believe" without the "lie".
Jon Stewart let her get away with it. Jon Stewart will be Dennis Miller within short order.
Hell, even the political satirists are blue.
