It's a Good Day to Take Out the (9/11) Trash
In yet another classic Friday-afternoon "take out the trash" maneuver to bury bad news on a slow news day (how much slower can it get than the Saturday of Labor Day weekend?), the Transportation Department's Inspector General is recommending discipline for FAA executives who gave the 9/11 commission false information, reports the New York Times. Conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this; for our part, CYA looks like a perfectly good explanation, especially from an agency that has a lot of A to cover when it comes to 9/11. For more on that, see Jim Ridgeway's summary of FAA failures as part of his call for nine new congressional investigations in the most recent issue of Mother Jones; for even more, check out Michael Scherer and Barry Yeoman's MoJo piece, which among other things shows how much of this was known well before 9/11, here.

Perhaps I am being naive, but do you really I think the government is organized enough to pull something like that off? Watergate was not successful and that was a small operation in comparison to what it would take to believe that 9/11 events were a "successful" conspiracy.

Things could get ugly.
If Republicans lose control of Congress in 06, or the Presidency in 08, the plutocracy could conceivably crash the market in a rush to take profits on their MIC holdings. Some of the most astute plutocrats have probably started doing so already and are busily wire transferring their profits to foreign banks. The rabble is getting restless.
The Bush regime and Republican congress will do all they can to broaden the war, and no one should be surprised if the U.S. or Israel nukes Iran before the midterm election. But that will open a whole new can of worms and no matter what they do, their dreams of perpetual war are economically unsustainable and Military Industrial Complex stocks are going to drop precipitously. To be followed by an overall market drop due to a belated realization of impending political instability right here in the U.S.of A.
We are in uncharted territory because the masses have lost confidence in both political parties. Things could get ugly.
Heavens, who’s going to protect the plutocrats now?

Joseph, like some who believe 9/11 was an "inside job," is being taken in by right-wing militia nuts who stash guns in their bunkers in Alabama. I assume since he is reading stuff on the Mother Jones site, he considers himself "liberal" or "progressive" etc. He probably thinks that saying Bush was behind 9/11 is the progressive thing to do because that's just one more reason to hate Bush. You don't need any more excuses to hate Bush.
Just spend a few minutes looking at the people who champion these conspiracy theories and you will see they are not people you should trust: Militia nuts (they also believe Clinton was behind the Oklahoma bombing and that the gov't has a machine to control the wheather); neo-Nazi's (again the Clinton OKCB stuff and they also believe there is a Jewish/Communist conspiracy to control the media, the banks and the US gov't to create a world gov't); the right-wing weirdo Alex Jones (he believes almost any conspiracy theory out there but he tries to stay away from anti-Semitic stuff so he can seem more mainstream and not put people off by creeping them out. Oh, and he claims he has access to a secret web-site where the "new world order" posts all of their diabolical plots).
Real liberals and progressives should be carful who they align themselves with. Keep focused on real Bush lies and crimes and not what a bunch of right-wing militia freaks post on the internet (do they realize the internet was created by the "evil ZOG" [that's right-wing nut-job speak for "Zionist Occupational Government"]).

I don’t consider myself a conspiracy theorist. I remember the JFK assassination, but have no idea who killed him. The Warren Report made no sense. It’s obvious that the back of his head could not have been blown off by a shot from behind. I don’t know who demolished the WTC and Pentagon, but the official version of events of 9/11 leaves many unanswered questions, and the Bush Administration’s obsession with privacy raises suspicion. I don’t believe this attack on the US was pulled off by remote control from a cavern in Afghanistan. It’s so reminiscent of a Batman film, too Hollywood, and though I love Batman, I’m not so gullible as to buy the silly story that 19 guys led by a guru on kidney dialysis took down the US from a cavern in Afghanistan.
Forgive me for not knowing who did what to whom, when, where and why. Until there’s an inquiry by an independent commission, I won’t point fingers, but withhold judgment.

While the previous commenter states she will "withhold judgment" thereby suggesting that she is an open-minded person, the truth is that some people will always refuse to accept facts no matter how irrefutable the evidence may be. In a country of 300 million people, this is inevitable. The fact that people believe the terrorist attacks of September 11 were perpetrated by anyone other than a group of 19 coconspirators from the Middle East proves exactly what I am saying.

"AnonLawyer" hit the nail on the head. People who believe alternate versions of 9/11 (I try not to say "conspiracy theorists" because I know they hate that) try to claim they are "skeptical" but in actuality, true skeptics aren't already CONVINCED of something - they withhold judgment. So anyone calling themselves "skeptics" and then say there is no question about the subject are just frauds (even though I'm not sure about Claire I'm not pointing her out).
To anyone who thinks the WTC was "demolished" or that anything other than a commercial airline hit the Pentagon should check out the Popular Mechanics article on the subject and check out www.911myths.com or go to IMDb and look and some of my opinions about that load of bull Loose Change on the message boards (my screen name is rlh_1984).

I'm getting a wee bit tired of lazy progressives who take positions without doing their homework. It appears that most good liberals and progressives have adopted the government's official conspiracy position simply because the progressive alternative media hasn't come out with anything to the contrary. Well, like the Democratic-run Congress, the left is simply being overly timid here, and cautious to the point of being irresponsible. There is a boatload of goo, solid, strong evidence to support the theory that 9-11 was an inside job. The Popular Mechanics article and subsequent book have been thoroughly debunked; Check out "Debunking 911 Debunking." And don't just take my word for it; read the review by Publishers Weekly or the review by the American Librarians Association. But neither the mainstream nor left media will touch this stuff. My guess is they're fearful of being labeled loons just for giving the subject the time of day. It's not for a lack of compelling material. And yes, the 9-11 Truth movement is attracting its share of wackos, in part because they are the only ones willing to stand up and take the ridicule. There are many more sober, credible folks talking about the inside job behind the scenes however; just check out patriotsquestion911.com. If you do nothing else, at least pay a visit to 911truth.org and do a little homework before writing us all off as gullible wingnuts. Thanks.

GET a life REGIS and stop standing around waiting for every scum sucking conservative or wishy washy liberal to agree with your dim witted perspectives. Stop advertising yourself, your web boards, and your overly pathetic weak pointed allies. Also learn to spell if your going to re-write the new testament on MJ, but please just stop!! Your comment about miltia toting folk is soooo far off, considering that more than half of the victims family's now demand the real truth, not just the same old bunch of obvious hocus pocus spoon fed to the masses. You should be ashamed and disbanded from MJ henceforth as you are obviously a patsy to some party and not a true hell raiser MJ fan!! All in favor of outing REGIS say Aye!!!!!!!!!!MJ step up, the people have spoken.

Everyone who testified about 9/11 gave false information. 9/11 was an inside job, by the gov't, for the gov't. It was used to curtail our rights by stealing private lands, detaining demonstrators, banning books like "America Deceived" from Amazon, conducting illegal wire-taps and starting 2 wars based on lies. Each and every person invovled in this false-flag operation must be indicted for treason.
