jimdes - saves time, as I only have to write the whole thing once. Two snaps WAY up for copy-paste!;))
jimdes posted an interesting link:http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/conspiracytheories/saudi.html
The site is for a Canadian Broadcasting Company show called "Conspiracy Theories," which he recently saw.

Obviously a lot of the program was theory, conspiracy theory. The program also presented known facts . . . probably the most intriguing part of the program for me. I encourage each of you to ramble through their site and check out the facts for yourself . . . then ask yourself "Is there censorship in America?"
Current Mood: uncomfortable
Current Music: Rodger Miller - Dang Me . . . just for Derien
"oughtta take a rope and hang me" ? I don't recall our disagreements about the whole situation being that extreme. ;)
Interesting site. I especially find it amusing that the most extreme conspiracy theory is the one which occured *first* to my mind on 9/11, though I didn't entertain it all that seriously. Partly because I wasn't sure at the time what the motivation was, beyond Bush gaining popularity points, and that seemed like a rather extreme method, even to me. (But I was raised with Conspiracy Theory and also happened to be reading a book with that theme at the time.)
But the whole "the US ignored stuff because they didn't want to upset relations with Saudi Arabia" theory does sound pretty plausible.
I will entertain all possibilities until I feel all the facts are in.
However, even if we were to assume that evidence was lost in the mountains of information gathered by intelligence agencies, we do still have a strong pattern of our news channels really severely underinforming the public. Which means it could be a long time before all the facts are in for the Public In General.
