Answers, then answer mine
[Read the article: The 9/11 deniers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1. Where is the plane wreckage in front of the Pentagon? Where is the damage on the walls? Why is there a nice round hole on the inside of the rings?
----------------------------------------
There shouldn't be very little plane wreckage outside the building and anything other than a round hole would be very suscpious.
Not only is fuel stored in the wings, but they are not meant to survive plunging into a blast reinforced building.
A fairly round hole is exactly what you'd expect.
Answer this, what about all the hundreds of witnesses, including some right here on this board who saw the plane hit the Pentagon? Are they liars?
"2. Why was there such vigourous trading activity against the stock of the companies that took a financial hit, prior to 9/11?"
There wasn't much. One trader purchased a large number of short stock options on United, and purchased a large number of shares on American. Both airlines lost business on money on 9/11. Large financial transactions of this type are done every day.
Answer this, why if you were setting up a conspiracy would you leave such a easy clue to follow such as public traders stock options, when you were smart enough to plan such a massive conspiracy and leave not witnesses?
"3. The Justice Department had no qualms about locking up hundreds of Arab-Americans after 9/11, with no evidence or due process, yet we are to believe that the reason for the quick evac of the Bin Ladin family was due to humanitarian concerns?"
"
Unforutanetly, for those Arab-Americans locked up, they did not have the political connections the Binladen family hase. The Binladen family is very well connected in Texas, suppling scholarships and some even asking to be buried there. All politically well connected people, whether Jewish, Arab, Blue or Green are going to receive more favorable treatment than members of their group without such connections.
Answer this, if the Bush administration was involved in planning the attack, why not fly them out in small groups before hand, or why bother to fly them out at all?
"4. Why did Bush not leave the classroom right away when told of the crashes? How come he commented on the first plane crash on real time, when nobody had live film of the first crash?"
Because he's an incompetent idiot who knows nothing about governing and was and is in way over head intellectual capabilities.
Then man can't string a complete sentence together and you are trying to argue whether he confused the first or second tower.
Answer this, do you really think Bush has the intelligence to plan something like this, and if you were in charge of such a conspiracy, would you even tell Bush the bumbling fool?
"5. Why did Bush administration officials site 9/11 as an "opportunity to role up all things, big and small, including SH" (Rumsfeld), or to "see it as a silver lining..." (Rice)."
Because people take advantage of situations to push their own agenda, and national tragedies are no exception.
Answer this, if this was planned as an excuse for the administrations agenda, why not blame the attack on Iraqis and Osama?
"6. Why does the truth seem to be getting farther away as we move away from 9/11? Is it because this administration has shown itself to be capable of any lie"
Because we are less emotionally involved with the attack so we seek more answers. It's not that the truth is farther away, it's that we are more demanding.
The Bush administration is incompetent, in Iraq, in governing, in every aspect, they are completely clueless, outside of campaigning for election.
Once Bush is out of office, we will find out they had many more specific warnings about the attack, we will discover that these warnings were systematically ignored because of incompetence at the top, and that this directly allowed the attack to happen.
The fact is the Bush administration though Osama was nothing, and couldn't possibly harm the US directly, and as such dismissed any warnings.
But don't confuse incompetence with planning the attack. The fact is if the Bush administration planned the attack, their would be the same types of errors in foresight and planning that adhere to everything they touch.
Look at everything they've screwed up over the last 6 years, and then think about how you are saying they perfectly planned this 6 months into his Presidency.
You give far too much credit to the Bush administration.

Steven Jones is a hack
[Read the article: The 9/11 deniers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"There have been tests conducted and peer reviewed that show traces of thermate (thermite with sulphur) on the WTC steel. Look it up. Steven Jones and his colleagues did it recently."
First, therimate wouldn't have been used because it's not the correct type of explosive to damage structural supports.
Second, a degree in Solar Energy and Fusion does not qualify one as an expert in the subject matter, and his opinions carry no more weight than any lay persons.
Third, none of his work on this matter has been published in a peer reviewed journal. Creating your own organization, and publishing your own journal does not make it peer reviewed. This is why he's a hack, because he knows this, and yet continues with his crazy lies.
As I pointed out earlier, he also thinks that having markings on the hands of some Mayan art is proof that Christ came to visit the Americas.

xxpaulcpxx no need for bulldozers
[Read the article: The 9/11 deniers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Simply have the 19 people buy black powder, which anyone can buy up to 50lbs, and blow the levies.
The problem is this, it is impossible to protect all assets from every type of attack, and it's a waste of time.
Defense against such attacks isn't about preventing people from gaining access to weapons or explosives, it's about recognising patterns of behavior.
You see a bunch of people operating around the base of a levy, perhaps someone should call that in.
