Katie Couric, her eyes thickly lined with black kohl, seemed to have one intention on the fifth anniversary of 9/11: to make us cry.

You can’t get acknowledgement of known and substantiated facts surrounding the 9-11 attacks and the bin Laden network here on ITT. You guys are pushing a narrative, the “incompetence theory” it is called out there in the world.
The incompetence theory is nonsense. The above article then, is also nonsense.
There’s a better narrative, and yes, Clinton and his thug regime are involved. Bush and his thugs are right at home dealing with dictators (Pervez Musharaf, anyone?) and terrorists alike.

War on Terror? The “alternative” press is still pushing these gross lies.
It’s “OF.” “OF TERROR.”
Terrorist networks were created, sponsored and most importantly PROTECTED by successive US regimes, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush the Lesser. This is a grand strategy which replaces the “communist threat” with the “terrorist threat.” It is a big game, to them, a PR mission, a ploy. The repurcussions and deaths are real. The “threat” however, is controlled, manipulated, brought out when necessary, and over-exaggerated.
