because so much of what is needed is being kept secret behind a stone wall. That and a scared/angry populace, a prostrate media, and an agressive and well-funded Bush defense mechanism.

All that, and even moreso that a great many people would give George a pass regardless, based upon their realization that if it were remotely true, the Republican Party would go down in flames for years, along with everything they believe in. Not to mention the integrity of our nation and the relative security of the planet. They just refuse to even consider it. They have no choice.

The biggest question here is how far will they go to keep it under cover? My guess is all the way. They would distract the world by starting a nuclear war with Korea rather than let the truth get out.

You can give those fucks cover all you want. They knew they were going to hijack planes, and not traditionally. Remember they already admitted that they suspected traditional hijackings. Can you imagine Al Gore trying to get away with that one? Yet no warning to the pilots union. No warning to the flight attendants union. No warning to the baggage handlers. No warning to airport security personnel. No warning to NORAD. No warning to the air traffic controllers. No warning to the Air Force, obviously. No heads up at all to anyone.

Except Jeb, he managed to change his powers regarding a State of Florida Executive Order defining his ability to deploy the national guard in the event of "massive terrorist attack" just four days before 9/11.

But you knew that.
