Why the Official Story on 9/11 is Going to Collapse
The official story on 9/11 is so absurd and ridiculous on its face, in so many different but consistent ways, that one would have to have a room temperature IQ to believe it. The story is indefensible because whatever group that was behind this operation severely bungled the job, in ways which make the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty attack and Iran-Contra look relatively like works of genius.
In fair and open debate on the Internet, the official story has been thoroughly demolished. Defenders of the official story for the most part are now afraid to raise their heads, and have been sent running for the tall grass. Only a single force is holding the official story in place: brutal and systematic censorship by the mainstream media of discussion of nearly all aspects of 9/11. Eventually we are going to see an open revolt from within the journalistic establishment by people with better than room temperature IQs who can no longer bear the bullshit being promoted by the tiny cabal of billionaires which owns CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the rest of the thoroughly discredited mainstream media.
The cabal which is protecting the official lies about 9/11 is the very same cabal which drove America into the disastrous Iraq War. The collapse of the war effort in Iraq will help foster the collapse of the official story on 9/11. The individuals behind these crimes have placed themselves in a perilous position. Committing further crimes -- including a nuclear 9/11 Part II -- will only make their position much worse. No member of the American power elite and national security community who is sane will want to have anything to do with any more of their bright ideas, and will be on a maximum state of alert to prevent them from committing further damage.
What would be a suitable punishment for crimes of this magnitude? Perhaps a group public hanging on international television?

Do you agree with Charlie Sheen that the U.S. government covered up the real events of the 9/11 attacks?

=======================
The U.S. government's pursuit of the death penalty against al-Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui has inadvertently shown that even a mildly competent George W. Bush could have headed off the attack that killed almost 3,000 people and sent the nation off on a dangerous mission of revenge. If Bush had reacted aggressively to the CIA's Aug. 6, 2001, warning, he could have energized the FBI and CIA to put together the final pieces of the puzzle. Instead, he went fishing and called no meetings until after Sept. 11.

AM - Calls for Donald Rumsfeld resignation

TONY EASTLEY: As the war in Iraq enters its fourth year, there's an increasing amount of political crossfire in Washington over the way the operation has been conducted.
And the man dodging the most bullets is Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.
Calls are mounting for Mr Rumsfeld to step down, with some of the most pointed criticism coming from within military ranks.
Washington Correspondent, Michael Rowland, reports.
MICHAEL ROWLAND: Donald Rumsfeld is both a chief architect of the war in Iraq and now its key salesman, fronting yet another Pentagon media conference today to defend the increasingly unpopular operation.
DONALD RUMSFELD: We can, we must and we will see it through to completion, the mission for which these young Americans and their families have sacrificed.
MICHAEL ROWLAND: But in the week the US marks the third anniversary of the invasion, just as many questions are being asked about Mr Rumsfeld's future as there are about just how long American troops will stay in Iraq.
The Defence Secretary's facing renewed criticism for not putting enough troops on the ground in the first place, and for severely underestimating the strength of the insurgency.
Newspaper editorials have been calling for his resignation.
The widely read New York Times columnist, Maureen Dowd, quoted a senior administration official this week as saying Mr Rumsfeld does not hold the same sway in meetings anymore, that he's treated as an eccentric old uncle, who's ignored.
The Democrats too are making their predictable calls for Mr Rumsfeld to go, but some of the more pointed condemnation this week has come from the army Major General in charge of training Iraqi security forces from 2003 to 2004.
In a New York Times opinion piece, Paul Eaton, now retired, said of Mr Rumsfeld:
"…He has shown himself incompetent strategically, operationally and tactically, and is far more than anyone else responsible for what has happened to our important mission in Iraq. Mr Rumsfeld must step down."
MICHAEL ROWLAND: It's a view shared by Flynt Leverett, a former CIA Middle East Analyst, who served on the National Security Council during President Bush's first term.
FLYNT LEVERETT: By any reasonable standard of accountability, Secretary Rumsfeld would've been gone a long time ago, but I think it's difficult for the President to do that, because for him to do that would mean at least implicitly, that he is admitting that some very, very fundamental strategic mistakes have been made.
MICHAEL ROWLAND: Mr Rumsfeld still has his defenders.
There's the President, of course, who earlier this week declared that Mr Rumsfeld had done a fine job conducting the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
James Woolsey, the CIA Director under President Bill Clinton and who now advises Donald Rumsfeld admits that while the Defence Secretary has made some mistakes, he shouldn't be forced to quit.
JAMES WOOLSEY: I think that he, on the whole, has done a good job of transformation in the Pentagon and I think he is someone who is…works very hard at trying to bring about a positive results in this war and I think we have a reasonable chance of doing it – winning. No I wouldn't ask him to resign.
MICHAEL ROWLAND: And Mr Rumsfeld's view of those calls for him to go?
DONALD RUMSFELD: Those kinds of calls have been going on for five plus years and the President has asked me not to get involved in politics and that's politics.
TONY EASTLEY: US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.
