i find several things disturbing on this thread:
people trying to shut down debate because it offends them or the memories of those who died. argh. this is my personal least favourite stance on mn. fwiw, if i die, i will laud and applaud anyone that wishes to investigate/debate or discuss my manner of death. sheesh.
the vociferousness of the anti-conspiracy theorists. there are so many examples of 'outrageous' conspiracy theories that have been proven true (jan outlines a good one below). when people get very very angry that other people question something, it makes me wonder what it is that they are frightened of (you, aloha, for example think the whole thing is bollocks, but it doesnt' make you angry that some people are questioning this in this way)?
i have to conclude that what frightens them is the possibility that democratically elected western governments are capable of mindblowing callousness and murder to ends that are neither in the public domain nor moral. I find this stance very naive indeed. power corrupts remember? and absolute power....
i'm neither here nor there with regards to this debate. undoubtedly there are huge elements of coverup going on, and many many 'facts' that do not add up at all. however, i'm with whichever poster it was that said that the stuff we already know about the bush administration, the stuff that they admit to, is as shocking as it needs to be.
