@ Borduin, Popular Mechanics? Seminal Scientific work? LOL
[Read the article: How photos support your own "reality"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Jayhan's an idiot. Lots of people are. Not all truthers are idiots.
(Yeah I know just me)
By all means people, read that great semen stained work of "scientific" journalism. Popular Mechanics? Popular Mechanics? The horror. The horror.
Then go read this: http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/pm/
If you want to go at it the other way round, what if they had disagreed with YOUR bias and published a truther article? Would then be selling it as the last word? No. I didn't think so.
Like Farhad and some of the posters here, the authors go for the stupidest, lamest theories out there and then "debunk" them. Scienterrifically!
This is the best you've got? Yellow journalism written by Chertoff's cousin?
Did you believe in the WMD too? How about that Gulf of Tonkin incident? Or the "attack" on the Maine. Maybe you missed the Lavon affair, but hey it never happened right?

@ christman, AKA "the nutty professor"
[Read the article: How photos support your own "reality"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bias does cut both ways. And we see lots of it here.
I agree that pictures are far from the only evidence. Like you, I kept expecting to hear that there were interceptors in the air. But they never came, not even after an hour!
But there were not, just a few - who never arrived on time, not surprising since they never flew at top speed, or were vectored off in the wrong direction. One of the biggest flaws in the official story is the lack of fighter cover that day. Andrews AFB is only 13 miles from the Pentagon. On Sept. 11, they had 150 interceptors there. The first plane was identified as hijacked at around 8:25 AM EST, the last plane did not strike the Pentagon until 9:38. Simple question. Where were the interceptors? Hell where were the helicopters? They could have hit the thing with a SAM too from Andrews, or even the ones that must have been at the Pentagon. But they did not. It all fell down that day, everything. Just a coincidence they say, mere incompetence, yeah right.
As for Farhad he is notorious for his sloppy "journalism" and is not to be taken seriously, just the other day he posted that the errant spy satellite had been shot down by a "cruise missile". Must have been a really low altitude spy sat, like 60 feet off the ground.
But back to psychology. One of the biggest problems is convincing people that someone that they think they "know" like Bush or even Cheney is capable of such acts. Hell they just killed 1.2 million Iraqis, basically for oil, Israel and empire. What's a few thousand people to an extreme sociopath? Nothing, as you know.
Then there is cognitive dissonance, the source of a million "Yeah buts".
I am glad you weighed in, they will have some trouble branding you "crazy" or "stupid", but if I was you I would keep your MMPI test results handy just in case.

@ 9/11 denier?? Really Now??........
[Read the article: How photos support your own "reality"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You are correct, the holocaust is the model they are using. 6 million Jews died at the hands of Hitler (never mind the Gypsies, the gays and the disabled). Anyone can say that, and the heads will nod.
6 million Jews died in the holocaust. No one would dispute this, because no one dares. Try saying, 5,500,000 Jews died. Then run fast.
911 Truth as outlined in the Holy 911 Commission Report cannot be disputed in any way. It's the truth! Even if the more extreme elements of the Truther community are completely wrong, it is ludicrous to posit, as many do the the hurried, late, underfunded "investigation" got all their facts right in every particular. But this is what are supposed to do. It's biblical truth to some people. I find this very odd.

Congratulations, the System Made Obama a Liar
[Read the article: The difference between Jeremiah Wright and radical, white evangelical ministers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course Obama is lying when he repudiates his pastor. He had to have known his views. Had to.
But he had no choice. Even when the Pastor spoke truth, and much of what I have read is spot on, and even when Obama almost certainly agrees with him about some of it, he has no choice but to disown and repudiate the man.
Were Obama to simply agree that 911 was blowback (it was) he could pack his bags and go home.
That's the reality of political life. Politicians must lie. Obama must lie. He did.
He'll fit right in in Washington.

Repudiating Lieberman
[Read the article: The difference between Jeremiah Wright and radical, white evangelical ministers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How many people know that Joe Lieberman is a good friend of Obama's and in fact has been described as his "mentor".
"I know that some in the party have differences with Joe," Senator Obama said, all but silencing the crowd. "I'm going to go ahead and say it. It's the elephant in the room. And Joe and I don't agree on everything. But what I know is, Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America."
"Then, with applause beginning to build, he finished the thought: "I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate." That time, people cheered loudly."
Lieberman, among his many many other failings and obvious allegiance to a foreign country, supports torture!
"You want to be able to use emergency tech to try to get the information out of that person," Lieberman said. Of course, Lieberman believes such authority has limits. He does not believe the president could authorize having hot coals pressed on someone's flesh to obtain that information.
The difference, he said, is that water boarding is mostly psychological and there is no permanent physical damage. "It is not like putting burning coals on people's bodies. The person is in no real danger. The impact is psychological," Lieberman said.
Gotta love that euphemism, or is it newspeak, "emergency tech". Physical scars, bad! Mental scars - good!
He'll make a good VP, someone's gotta do Chtheny's job.
Why isn't Obama repudiating him? Why isn't everyone?
