156 Tuesdays Later - Ted Rall - Must Read
So, Im not the only one who doubts the Osama and Al Queda storyline.


Al Qaeda Attacked Us on 9/11. Maybe, maybe not. In late September 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell promised to "put out a paper...that will describe clearly the evidence that we have linking" Al Qaeda to 9/11. We're still waiting. Osama bin Laden, who claimed credit for the East Africa embassy bombings and other terrorist acts, denied involvement in 9/11. "I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States," bin Laden told a Pakistani newspaper. "As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie." And the famous Osama "confession video," proven by European media outlets to have been overdubbed and intentionally mistranslated by U.S. officials, is nothing of the sort. What we do know is that all 19 hijackers belonged to Islamic Jihad, based in Egypt. But rather than insist that Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarek turn over the group's leaders for questioning, Bush sent him more money and weapons. Islamic Jihad remains free to attack us again

1. We don't know bull about 9-11.
We know there were four crashes of things we think were planes but we're not 100% sure.

We have a pretty good idea the intention behind those crashes was not friendly.

We know it caused great disruption, financial loss, and loss of life.

Other than that, what do we REALLY know. That wasn't told to us by the government?

Some say the 19 names we were given (nearly immediately by the FBI) was a false list, and that some of those people waved and said, "Hey, wait a minute. I'm not dead, and I had NOTHING to do with any of that" from some country half a world away.

We were TOLD it was al Qaeda immediately. We don't have proof.

2. Here's something to watch and think about
I haven't accepted this a truth, yet. But there are so many holes in the 9/11 story. I continue to read, think, and question what our Government tells us.
