  You forgot Operation Irani' Liberation (OIL, v.II).

  Agreed, katiez, in spades. Indeed, why the dangling teaser just before Muwakkil's concluding paragraph? So what specifically are Allen's "plausible explanations"? Why bother mentioning them without listing them? Are we supposed to take Allen's word "on faith" just because Allen did some work for Amnesty International and is now an editor at ITT? It makes my BS metre red-line! And that concluding paragraph! I had to read three times trying to guess what slant Muwakki is actually on. In the end, i was left wondering if Muwakki's "is" should have actually been an "are" and whether "debunking" was used as a …

  Please pardon the slips: * "And that concluding paragraph! I had to read three times..." should read " And that concluding paragraph! I had to read it three times..." * "... really want to “debunking conspiracy theories..." should read "... really want to say “debunking conspiracy theories..." I have to admit i'm pissed (off). I had actually begun to believe ITT was a publication i could put some trust into -- in part because of Vonnegut's presence here. But then i was pointed by another discussion here to reading of ITT's affair with David Lindorff in "R.I.P. In These Times", by …

  Oops, yet again. My "Muwakki" should read "Muwakkil". In fact, i have to chill. And i'll gratefully accept an extension of this article that addresses the points katiez and i have raised, preferrably looking at more than just Griffin's alternate views, as Griffin is obviously not alone in terms of respected pundits saying similar things about 9/11 and the Bush Admin. If that's done, i'll openly apologize for the bile i've just spewed, but not a nanosecond before. AD.2005.Dec.22.16:45.35.ICT

  In fact, katiez, my ignorance on the subject is only too vast. I've clearly been too focused on basic survival over the last decade in Saigon. I had no idea the "911 Truth Movement" (911TM) was so well-established and so much research of depth and breadth has already been published. I'd only stumbled upon the URLs i referenced above just recently and was then quite surprised these issues hadn't caught my attention earlier. Yet, if much of what the 911TM is claiming is true, the implications for global geopolitics would be monumental, no? So what's the real deal on 9/11 today? …
