An army of one
As I said, it takes two to butt heads. -- aycharaych
Indeed. We must always guard against the affliction of humility.

William T.?
Does it warn somewhere in the universe that if two axe-heads bang sparks all day to become smart that the two numbskull's eventually drop dead? That not very axe-head sharp. That's dull.
The grade school aged "old" brain surgeon tries to remove a wood splinter from Mr. Timberman's head with a pair of Glenn's rusty pliers.
Glenn should be left out of the axe-fight. My apologies again.

Willful Ignorance?
I just weary of stupidity and willful ignorance.
-- Aycharaych
Was it willful ignorance that lead you, apparently, to believe I would not have replied to your retort to me last night? I ask because I did reply almost immediately, and it was "butted directely up against your previous reply to me. So I figure you either didn't read it, or willful ignorance caused you to ignore it. Because if you had read it you would surely have apologized by now for having incorrectly called me a liar. I say that because there is no other explanation.

But bebop....
Yet a third axe head? You see, B, silence is the only way not to contend. It's a paradox. You know this, and yet you also must speak. As many have said, errare humanum est. We may repeat what the gods have whispered to us, but we're forbidden to use their voices -- and for good reason.

The final outrage of shooter242
Leaving aside the argument over whether Plame was covert, the actual publicists (Novak, Armitage) of her affiliation with the CIA were never charged with anything. So it WAS OK to name her in that circumstance.
Mrs. Wilson's covert status was never in question. The circumstances of her NOC getting blown by Novak are well documented and by any rational measure amount to treason.
It is NOT fine to destroy evidence, or commit perjury. Berger did both, eventually pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, and got probation. What I'm asking for here is equal treatment in sentencing if someone is found guilty of the same acts.
Agree with the fist sentence, disagree with the second, agree with the third. The fact you cannot comprehend your error marks you as beyond the pale.
But since IOKIYAD, I doubt that will happen. It will be interesting to see someone spin equal treatment as unfair.
You are in no position to debate 'fairness' any longer. You have been corrected time and again, yet persist in spewing your bile.
You have thrown your lot in with those who wish only harm to our country and our way of life.
Rot with them.

This is the perfect example of the way a conspiracy theorist works:
If you had bothered to go to the home page of the organization you would have read this
You're so clever that you know a priori I didn't go to the home page. LOL.
Just like the conspiracy theorists:
Bill Owen calls for an investigation, but that's not to seek the truth but rather
that is for them to be convinced of the truth about the attack on America, and the truth is it was inside job.
RadicalWhig wants to know
who blew up the buildings
since it's already known they were blown up rather than flown into.
The truth is already known. When I say go! everyone help line up the facts!

Sir Timberman. correct.
Don't blurt too much. burp? okay. burp.
Cheers. blubber.
The three-in-patient,
rate the 'shrink' on sex appeal? Oh no!
That's when most of us lose all hope. shucks.

@talesofunrest
I guess I don’t know this ‘law.’ Snow provides more resistance than air. So does this mean that if I drop a 1000 pound rock unto into a big pile of snow, the rock should roll off to the side? (Actually, as the atmosphere thins as one moves away from the Earth’s surface, and less dense atmosphere provides less resistance than more dense atmosphere, according to this ‘law,’ shouldn’t things fall up?)
Wow.. it's amazing what some people will just dream up on the spot and then hit the publish button and sit back, all proud of themselves, thinking they've successfully debunked another "crackpot conspiracy theorist."
Obviously, all your wild imaginings are ridiculous because the laws of gravity, matters of weight mass, weight, etc. all play into the equation. I didn't realize I needed to explain these things, and for the sake of brevity, kept my explanation short and to the point. I never would've dreamed somebody would counter with some completely silly notions of things 'falling up' and 1,000 pound rocks being deflected by piles of snow.
Incidentally, and in response to all the others here who think all of us who don't believe the official story of 9/11 subscribe to "crackpot theories" or that each and every one of us thinks we have it all figured out -- I don't claim to know what happened that day, I just know there are far too many unanswered questions. The official story doesn't add up.
talesofunest, I was very much like you at one time, about a year ago, when it comes to this topic. As a matter of fact, it was a message board on the internet that caused me to begin to question these matters. I was completely positive that there was no way the events of that day could've possibly happened any other way than exactly as we've been told.
A little over a year ago, I found myself at a website where the "hot topics" of their message board were listed on the left hand menu, and I saw one was about 9/11. After reading the thread, I signed up with the intention of debunking the people who were discussing what I beleived were entirely far-fetched and wild ideas about the whole thing.
Of course, I didn't just sit there and add to the lunacy (well, I believed it to be lunacy at the time) by dreaming up silly responses about things falling up and the like -- I decided to do a little research, myself. Many of the things they said had me sitting here thinking, "My GOD, where do they come up with this stuff???" For instance, one person brought up something about the president's brother having been head of security at the WTC and one of the airlines involved in the attacks. I decided okay, that's easy enough to disprove, I'll start there.
So I set out to look into this claim, and low and behold it wasn't all that far from the truth. President Bush's brother, Marvin, was on the board of directors of this company that did handle security for the WTC, Dulles International Airport, and United Airlines -- all involved in the attcks. He joined when the company was bought by the investment firm Kuwait-American Corp. and was listed as a director until the year 2000, when he left and joined the board of directors for an insurance company which just happened to be the insurance carrier for the WTC.
I don't know exactly what all of that adds up to, but it was the first of their claims that I thought I could debunk but found that I couldn't. And it's something I had no idea about, before. It was just the first of many of the details that I had no idea about because I had just simply accepted the official story and never delved deeper.
My point is, instead of just sitting there discounting all of us or making up silly responses, look into it for yourselves. Most people who believe they know the 'whole story' just know a basic outline, just as someone posted on this very thread -- 19 hijackers hijacked planes, flew 3 into buildings, one crashed, and the rest is history. But the unanswered questions lie in the smallest of details. Research it for yourselves. Do not stop asking questions. The only thing I claim to know - just like many other skeptics of the official story - is that we need a new and truly independent investigation into these matters.
I can't sit here and change your minds, anymore than those people on that other message board could've changed mine before I started looking into it for myself. Of course, in your research you WILL come across people with "crackpot theories" and those who think they do have it all figured out. But just because some of the people who don't believe are like that does not in any way, shape or form mean all of us are wrong and it most certainly doesn't mean that the official story is true.
