How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    It's a vastly larger world out there, Farhad

    One person's position on one small fragment of that much larger series of events does not and cannot represent the full depth of the thinking and research behind the Truth movement.

    Yes, there are some people attached to the movement who are knee-jerk reactive to anything government-issue, but these people do not actively contribute to furthering the movement. There are also a huge number of honest, intelligent, educated people who are putting a lot on the line to examine the aspects of the situation simply ignored by the government. And it is this group of people who are coming up with questions that the official account simply cannot answer.

    You might want to begin by investigating the financial transactions relating to sales of airline stock in the week prior, or how the Pentagon was apparently in view of only one single video camera that day, or how a building such as WTC7 could fall without having been on fire or hit by any substantial bits of wreckage.

    Sorry Farhad, I normally enjoy your column, but you clearly need to steer clear of topics like this until you've done more homework.
