That's just what it is.
But you and I are not on opposite sides of this issue, except for the
fact that you already believe what hasn't been conclusively proven, and I
only keep an open mind to its possibility as well as a healthy skepticism
as well.
But we agree that there are wide open questions that demand answers. We
agree that politicians in Washington are refusing to deal with the tough
issues. We agree that there is massive resistance to attempts to get to
the truth.
The only difference is, I know that LIHOP or MIHOP are theories. Theories
forumlated because of a slew of loose ends and open questions that may,
or may not be accurate. There is only one thing that has been
conclusively proven so far, and that is that Bush is guilty of depraved
indifferenece. There is hard, credibly, documented, on the record, clear
cut, factual evidence that proves that much.
This is a good thing, because it rightfully should lead to the asking for
tougher questions - what was the scope of Bush's depraved indifference?
How sinister was it? Did anyone in the Administration have any kind of
participatory role in what transpired - either in the specific attack or
in contributing to a generalized and deliberate vulnerability to future
attacks? And every single one of the questions that LIHOP or MIHOP people
raise demand real answers - and we the people deserve those real answers.
The only difference between me and you is that I know we don't have the
answers yet - just a lot of questions, and then a of induction based on
every kind of fallacious reasoning that always happens when people try to
formulate absolute conclusions before there is the concrete evidence to
support them.
What we know is depraved in difference. That much is clearly evidenced,
tangibly. The next questions must be, what was the scope of this
indifference - was it clandestine, participatory, willful? At what level?
What was the nature of post 9/11 cover ups? To hide how much the
administration dropped the ball in ignoring terrorist warnings (currently
the most well evidenced theory)? Was it to cover up their direct hand in
the specific attacks? Was it to cover up their more indirect, possibly more
passive involvement in allowing the specific attacks? Was it other kind
of damaning information on administration behavior, relationship to
foriegn countries, etc?
These questions deserve answers.
My only problem, Q - is with people who act like anyone who doesn't
believe the Bush administration planned these attacks, hired people to
execute them and carried out the destruction of the world trade center
and the murder of 3,000+ Americans for their own purposes is somehow and
idiot. We are not idiots for reserving judgment while we continue to
demand an exploration of the evidence.
Where are normal, rational, non conspiracy nutbag people today? Well,
they are at a place where they know that the Bush Administration was
guilty of depraved indifference to the issues of security. That much has
been proven. Now rational people want answers to questions about the
scope of that failure - was it deliberate and if so how specifically,
what are the answers to the specific open questions out there? Was there
an element of desire to allow this specific attack to happen, or was
there an element of desire to allow a climate in which an attack like
this would happen, or was there simply a blindness and disinterest
towards these issues amidst the fixation and preoccupation with iraq,
star wars, tax cuts, and whatever else?
I don't know the answer, and neither do you - yet. I'm not trying to tell
you not to suspect LIHOP or MIHOP or anything else. What I'm against is
people like you acting as though it is conclusively proven fact and
anyone trying to think about a different theory might as well be trying
to argue that 2+2=5. You are wrong to do that. And that's my biggest
problem with the quote "conspiracy" crowd.
DI did happen. (And by doing so he certainly allowed a vulnerable
framwork in which 9/11 happend)
LIHOP (and by that I mean having specific knoweldge of 9/11 and refusing
to stop that specific event) may have happened - we need more answers
MIHOP may have happened - we need more answers

Why
did Jeb Bush and federal agents seize records from Huffman Aviation -
Florida flight school of Mohammed Atta, and other 9/11 hijackers - in the
middle of the night following the attacks of September 11th and load them
onto a C-130? And why did Jeb Bush know, hours after the attack, where to
look?
