More information on 9/11 Pentagon attack from a "government watchdog"
Thanks to this handydandy graphic you can see specifically where Washingtion DC is located in relation to the rest of the United States (see yellowish US feature in the center)


Okay now that we have that cleared up.....

I don't buy into the conspiracy theories but please feel free to post them and discuss them as they are so very entertaining.

I do think that 9/11 was a glaring example of incompetence and gross negligect. The 8 month excuse is lame and it is going to really sound lame if it is dragged back out into the sunlight.

Soledad O'Brien and the CNN Pentagon reporter had a mocking discussion of the conspiracy theories and theorists this morning. The funniest part was O'Brien saying "Well you can't actually see a plane but this should dispell any of the conspiracy theories out there" Why, because it says so on your teleprompter? Judicial watch was described as a "government watchdog organization". The main point here appears to be to both belittle the conspiracy theorists and of course fear/terror/shock you know the aims of terrorism.

I think this opens a whole can of worms up. Hopefully people will compare the spin they bought at the time and what they have seen since and this will finally (it is inevitable) turn back around on Bush&Co.

Like I said I don't buy into the conspiracy theories but this reaks of newspeak to me. Maybe I am turning around my own self.


Here is Fox News's take on it-not to be confused with CNN

1. Where is the proof that a plan hit the Pentagon...
When we can't SEE a plane hit the Pentagon? BTW, my niece lived in D.C. at the time and she was driving home from dropping off her husband at work. She said she saw an explosion in her rear-view mirror, but NO plane. (And she's apolitical).

3. Where is the proof that there ever WAS a Pentagon?
I've never been inside it.

Have you?

Sure, there's a big Pentagon thing you can see from the air...

but do you really think it's anything more than a facade left-over from the latest Tom Clancy movie?

5. You mean aside from all the dead bodies?

Unless someone dumped off a lot of charred remains after the fact, the passengers ended up at the Pentagon somehow.

2. I just want someone to show me a piece of the plane in a picture taken 9/11
All plane crashes leave behind wreckage, but there is no evidence of any airplane parts. Where is the tail section or the wings?
Just looks strange, thats all.

8. everyone can see the hole is too small and the plane is missing.
its just denial. denial that the government could or would lie about something like this.
for that reason they cannot wrap their minds around the thought.

9. And if they ignored the conspiracy theories?
Would you be saying, why can't they offer proof?

12. That's my point...
the video didn't offer any proof from what I could see, and I personally think that a plane hit the Pentagon.
