It does point out the obvious. But, with so many facts missing, how can one draw an honest conclusion? From the looks of the things outlined in the sort article there, it does look as though there was a motive for Bush to stage it all, if he did, which I doubt. If ever it was revealed to be true, no one could stop the lynch mob stampeding to the White House and his Texas ranch!

What about the guy that was arrested up in Minnesota before 9-11? They guy that wanted to take flight lessons but wasn't interested in learning how to off or land the airplane?
How about the people that have been arrested in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Singapore, etc.? They haven't done anything yet, so it might be hard to prove that they were. One can always dream up an excuse for almost any evidence that one might be found with.

What about the al Qaeda held prisoner in Cuba ? What about the the al Qaeda members caught in Italy with cyanide and the blue prints for the American Embassy water supply, as well as their tunnel to get to the water pipes ? What about all the ones that were killed in Afghanistan ? The evidence found in Afghanistan is also slowly but surely being released.
These people don't wear uniforms, don't publish their chain of command, don't have their mission statements and attack plans broadcast on the nightly news.
It is little different than Mafia prosecutions. There is never any hard evidence floating around for investigators to find and use. It is always an informant that brings hard evidence. We spent a lot of time and resources on Al Capone and yet never criminally convicted him except for tax evaision. Everyone knew that Capone was the leader of the crime syndicate, but there just wasn't enough hard evidence to get a conviction. And just like the Mafia, these terrorist organizations have complicite governments that are directly and indirectly involved in supporting them. Capone had judges, jurors, cops, and politicians on his payroll. Al Qaeda has the same type of support in many countries.
If anyone is expecting these terrorist organizations to be ferreted out in a neat litle package and all the facts to spring forth is going to be disappointed.
We are an open society and democracy in a war with forces that are at the opposite end of the spectrim. They will not join battle on our terms or time table. They will not be massing forces in a central location and marching toward us.

They're absolutely correct. All of these dead hijackers were not Al-Qaeda. They and the guys they caught on the train and the people that supplied them with money and documents were all listed on their "student" visas as auxillary members of Campfire girls troop 33.
It absolutely amazes me how people can read that drivel and energize even an eighth of a brain cell pondering it.

REAMOND, your post there reminds of some bumber stickers that I used to see when I was a kid back in the '60's. They read:
There is no Mafia and we'll kill
anyone who says that there is

They just picked up one of the "troop" members in PA. He had "instructions" on him of what to say to the authorities if questioned.
