New NSA docs contradict 9/11 claims

130. I understand - and we won't ever know everything that happened that day.

I'm not an expert on what happens when planes crash into buildings - or what kind of hole they do or don't make. I never will be. I don't know why there wasn't more than one Pentagon video camera aimed at the spot where the plane hit.

But in the absence of any proof that people I know and respect were hypnotized into thinking that they saw a plane go into the Pentagon, and the continuing absence of Lennie, who got onto Flight 77 the morning of 9/11, I will believe that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon on the morning of 9/11.

That's simply not a part of the story that I have reason to disbelieve. The evidence I have overshadows all other evidence that others say show that none of that happened.

For me to believe that a plane did not hit the Pentagon on 9/11, I would have to forget or refute what I know about my boss, and my friend Lennie. Those things are more certain to me than people who are trying to construct an alternate reality, despite huge amounts of evidence provided by many, many non-government sources. Not all documentaries are accurate, nor are all conspiracy theories. Does the documentary you saw address teh issue of all the independently interviewed eyewitnesses at all? How does it explain them away? Were they lying? Crazy? Was the plane they saw a hologram? A missile in an American Airlines suit?

You won't find many people here in Arlington who doubt that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. There are just too many people here who were on I-395, on Washington Blvd, or at the Pentagon when it happened. And they pretty much say the same thing - big two engine plane, coming in low, taking out light poles, making contact with the ground before 'disappearing' into the Pentagon in a ball of orange flames. There weren't camera phones then, and to hear a plane coming in low in that area is common - National Airport is less than a mile away, so many people weren't alarmed soon enough to pull out a digital camera, turn it on, then get a photo of the plane hitting.

I could believe that the Bush Adminstration was incompetent enough for 9/11 to happen. I don't think that we have been told the whole story. I may even be a LIHOP. But that's no reason to dismiss the corroborating stories of hundreds when what they saw disproves a particular conspiracy theory. Maybe the hijackers were actually Super Secret CIA Operatives - but A PLANE HIT THE PENTAGON ON 9/11.

I don't know enough about the Pennsylvania flight to validate any theories that it was shot down. I guess I would need to disregard the interview I saw with the wife that was on the phone one of the passengers and the operator that talked with one of the passengers. That doesn't make me dumb, or some sort of sheep.

But thinking that my boss (who was a Democratic Committeewoman) and missing neighbor were part of a Bush Administration cover-up for a missile going into the pentagon - that would require me to be really unbalanced.
