Occam's Razor has to account for all the facts
[Read the article: 9/11 Commission: Our investigation was "obstructed"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And think about it -- what evidence is there about the 19 hijackers? None, it seems.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Note: Just one reason why I find the "9/11 truth" narrative patently absurd: If it was a BushCo setup, then why the heck didn't they plant evidence implicating Saddam? Why leave so much hard work ahead of them? It's simply absurd to think they'd plant all this evidence pointing at people they didn't want to tangle with (the Saudis), and nothing at all at those they did (Iraq and Iran)."
1. They wanted to go to Afghanistan.
2. Iraq and Iran would have called bullshit, and easily been able to show why it was bullshit.
3. The Saudis went along, and got some US bases out of Saudi Arabia and into Iraq.

Those bases were destabilizing for the Saudi regime. Bin Laden, the royal family, and the USG all wanted bases out of Saudi Arabia, and guess what, 9/11 allowed it to happen.
4. Who knows and who cares? The point is that evidence was obviously planted (see Seymour Hersh in the New Torker) and the buildings were obviously destroyed by explosives. Your clever little argument doesn't explain all this away.

Then look at the facts for yourself. Pretend it happened in Russia if that will help you be more objective.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Many of the investigators believe that some of the initial clues that were uncovered about the terrorists' identities and preparations, such as flight manuals, were meant to be found. A former high-level intelligence official told me, 'Whatever trail was left was left deliberately -- for the F.B.I. to chase'".

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Why all the explosive outrage over the destruction of the interrogation tapes? In the grand scheme of things, this seems like a relatively minor offense compared to the Bush regime's egregious high crimes and misdemeanors. One could even make a rational argument for the tapes' destruction."
You mean a high crime like failing to investigate the murder of 3,000 Americans on American soil? What rational argument is there for destroying evidence that might relate to such an investigation?

[Read the article: 9/11 Commission: Our investigation was "obstructed"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your sarcasm is way overblown. Sure, you have a point that Iraqi or Iranian denials might not have gotten much press here, but denying development of weapons is not the same as denying being behind an attack like 9/11.
And again, you main point is a trivial response to all the questions about 9/11, including the big one, who blew up the buildings and thereby caused most of the deaths?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]What's wrong with Stennet's book? I have a copy but got around to reading it. Convince me its a waste of time, please -- I'm not concerned about what happened 70 years ago and there's no doubt the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

Whoops - never got around to reading it
