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

    @pda

    How? How on earth did they benefit from 9/11?

    Are you being daft or adversarial?

    We are now engaged in land wars on two fronts, one of them in the Arabian penninsula.. there is a third front planned.

    Al-Qaeda recruitment is up, as is resentment against the United States and Israel.

    This is also exactly what bin Laden, in 1998, claimed he and al-Qaeda wanted to accomplish. Mission Accomplished: al-Qaeda.
