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.

    I think you are saying that this never happened, or perhaps that they were not high-fiving. They were, it's a fact, and it is a matter of record. No one denies this happened, the Israeli government denies they were Mossad, but that is all. The rest is history.

    Here is a link to an ABC report circa 2001

    This event is in no ways a "conspiracy theory" if by that you mean, as most people do, crazy, stupid and wrong. It happened. Every data point in the whatreallyhappened article is verifiable and came from press reports. These men were arrested. Two of them we KNOW were Mossad, the company did close up and leave within days. Draw your own conclusions, I am sure that you will.

    And please spare us the Manjooian amateur psychology. Jesus, he presented his little article like "bias" is news or something. And if you read his article, it's pretty plain, that everyone "suffers" from this and the knife cuts both ways Paul, if I am biased, then so are you. The trick is to be aware of our biases and act accordingly.

    My bias on 911 was shock and disgust, and yes I was pissed at Bin Laden. The difference between you and I is that the mountain of evidence shifted my position.

    I am getting tired of the "incompetance" argument. How could Bush lower taxes, he's too stoopid, how could Bush fight a war in Iraq, he's too stoopid, how could Bush fly a plane, he is too stoopid. The attack on America that day was a supra-national attack, not purely a domestic one. Bush is a bit player, an actor, a dupe, a patsy.

    Do you think that I believe that Bush did it? Personally? Why do you make assumptions about what I think? Bias maybe? He has people for that. I don't think that Bush did it, I believe tha elements in your government did it, in cooperation with elements in Israel, that there was coup that day, and Bush was given the choice. This goes a long way in explaining Air Force One's 6 hour flight of the bumble bee all over the US that day. And you have probably forgotten the story, officially announced at the time, that Air Force One was at risk, as someone had the codes.

    I ask again. Where were the interceptors? Could Bin Laden make NORAD stand down?

    By Way of Deception, We Shall do War - Mossad motto

    Now go look up the Lavon Affair. And if you don't know about it, Project Northwoods.
