    very logical

    Mr. Smith, I have always been impressed with your rational explanations of potentially hysterical aspects of air travel.

    I was in Leesburg, Virginia on September 11th, and remember well the progression of events that morning as I watched in the customer lounge of an auto dealer’s repair shop.

    The Pentagon crash was filmed by a security camera across the street from the impact. This was immediately confiscated and has never been released.

    If the government wanted to clear this up they could release this video.

    I cannot help but think that we have not yet been told the entire truth about what happened on September 11th

    After all, we have not even been told the entire truth about John Kennedy’s assassination.
