Reply #119: I think I can appreciate where you're coming from.

I don't feel hostile towards you, just disappointed and a little saddened that in this matter we must agree to disagree, rather than join in the hunt together as we did regarding Cheney's complicity in Plame's outing. It sure was a lot of fun, and I feel this hunt will be just as much fun for anyone who enters with an open mind. That includes me. I have my own ideas, but if my research proves that I am wrong, believe me, I will be the first to admit it.

I respect that you have studied 9/11, the possible role our country played in it, and the opinion that you have. I still feel that your research in the matter has only reached the tip of the iceberg, but I don't pretend that I have gone much deeper. I won't belabor that point.

If we must part, I smile as I shake your hand. I appreciate your compliments where American Judas is concerned, but remember that I wrote it as a supplement to the Waterman Paper. Remember that, and remember those who loved it. There is a lot of things in your current paper that I value, despite my mixed review. But you have reached a conclusion, while many of us here are still searching for answers. Again, peace to you.
