Barbara Peterson's Nov. 14 article points out how Bush's Homeland Security is trying to make the case that web sites that publish articles questioning the events of 9/11 are terrorist recruiters. Given Bush's recourse to calling everyone who doesn't agree with him a terrorist and combined with his executive order confiscating all the worldly goods of anyone who disagrees with him, Barbara Peterson's article didn't get the attention it deserves...The sinister effect of what Bush is doing is that Barbara's article, this article, and others here on OpEdNews that question the motives of the Bush administration and the events of 9/11 can be determined to be "terrorist recruiters."

...At a Homeland Security sub-committee hearing on terrorism risk assessment where the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth website is presented along with Taliban recruitment sites, training manuals and bomb making techniques, Representative Jane Harmon asked Bruce Hoffman, Chairman of the Rand Corporation in Counterterrorism and Counterinsurgency, "So this movement develops them into violent killers?" Hoffman stated that, "falsehoods and conspiracy theorists have become so ubiquitous and believed that you almost have some sort of parallel truth, and it has become a very effective tool for recruiting people."

Now, here's the scary part that ties it all together....Bush's Executive Order of July 17, 2007, stripped down to its meaning:

"All property and interests in property of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn or otherwise dealt in, detemined by the Secretary of the Treasury, to pose a significant risk of committing an act undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq."

Does questioning what happened on 9/11 pose a risk of undermining efforts in Iraq? That's not for us to determine, that's strictly up to Bush and his Treasury Secretary. We have no say in the matter, but if Bush takes it into his head that we might, could, maybe, possibly pose a risk, we lose everything we have. All we have to do is ask, "Is that the way it happened?"
