Reply #34: Speaking of wacko CTs: Selling CavePeople as 9-11 Masterminds!

[Abe Linkman]

The United States Government said shortly after 9-11 that OBL was responsible for the attacks, and that they would soon release proof to back up the charges against him.

To date, no proof has been forthcoming. Which raises the very fair question: Why do you persist in trying to sell a story that you surely know has no basis in fact?

Are you doing it because you really think that the Big Lie technique is an appropriate strategy to use in a relatively open forum like DU? Are you doing it because you have faith that President Bush will one day keep his word and reveal some evidence that OBL is responsible for 9-11?
If so, you'll be an old man before that happens. And, it can only happen if evidence is manufactured (a very real possibility, I grant you).

It's such an absurd notion to think that a cave dweller with a pair of bad oil filters could possibly plot, plan, and carry out such a sophisticated operation as 9-11. To promote such a fantastical CT, you'd almost have to be in the entertainment business, don't you agree?
