9/11 Questions
RECEIVED Fri., May 18, 2007
Dear Editor,
Asking questions, here are some that bother me:
What would have been the government's motivation for destroying the World Trade Center and attacking the Pentagon? If they wanted an excuse to invade Iraq, there could have been many less destructive methods, since we eventually did invade Iraq with no actual connection to 9/11 anyway.
Do you really believe that no military or Department of Defense personnel, who may have had friends die in the Pentagon, would blow the whistle on a government plot of this magnitude?
Could this group realistically plan and pull this off only eight months after entering office?
Don't you think any journalist who wanted to make a name for himself/herself, à la Woodward and Bernstein, would absolutely salivate over the possibility of proving these conspiracies to be true? That no one at The New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, New Yorker, The Nation, etc., etc., etc., would be only too glad to print damning stories of the Bush administration, if they could prove them? Not to mention thousands of Democrats?
As you can see, I'm all for asking questions. I just don't understand the energy spent on asking questions that have already been answered again and again. There will always be pieces missing from a puzzle this large and chaotic, but this is also what makes the idea of a vast cover-up so unbelievable. Part of any "truth movement" should be to accept logical and scientific explanations, whether they fit your world-view or not. I would think there's still plenty of genuine government corruption and mismanagement to focus on instead.
