My favorite quote:

How would you like it if you spent two months in a mountain cave, sleeping on rocks planning something really special, only to have someone take the credit from you?

I have to wonder if our resident conspiracy theorists have considered the implecations of this.

Quote:
One questioner asked about the theory that has circulated in the Middle East and elsewhere that Israel was behind the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Al-Zawahiri accused Hezbollah's Al-Manar television of starting the rumor.

"The purpose of this lie is clear - (to suggest) that there are no heroes among the Sunnis who can hurt America as no one else did in history. Iranian media snapped up this lie and repeated it," he said.

Your interest in conspiracy theories is duly noted, Herr Nasgul.

Are you buying what the U.S. government is selling about 9/11?

Wait... Are you confusing the use of 9/11 as a tool to guide the United States into war with what actually happened on 9/11?

See, I think we can all agree that 9/11 was used to go to war. I think we can all agree that the Bush administration misled the public about the link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq.

But, don't let that confuse you into thinking that something other than a group of pissed-off Arabs flew planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.

Am I buying what the U.S. government is selling? Are you serious? What you should be asking yourself is "Am I buying what the troofers are selling?"

I saw the airplanes hit the towers. I've watched it a dozen times. Wanna talk about the Pentagon? Ask yourself this: Why would the U.S. government blow up the Pentagon when it didn't need to? All it would take would be the planes hitting the towers for people to get pissed enough to go to war. Why hit the Pentagon with a cruise missile? Why risk getting caught needlessly?

It's utter B.S. You should know better.

And, shrink your oversized avatar.

What? They did find the black boxes for the PA flight and the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

Philadelphia News from 2004

Quote:
Both the independent 9/11 Commission and federal authorities continue to insist that none of the four devices - a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) from the two planes - were ever found in the wreckage.

But New York City firefighter Nicholas DeMasi has written in a recent book -- self-published by several Ground Zero workers -- that he escorted federal agents on an all-terrain vehicle in October 2001 and helped them locate three of the four...

His account is supported by a volunteer, Mike Bellone , whose efforts at Ground Zero have been chronicled in the New York Times and elsewhere. Bellone said assisted DeMasi and the agents and that saw a device that resembling a black box?in the back of the firefighter ATV.

Their story raises the question of whether there was a some type of cover-up at Ground Zero. Federal aviation officials - blaming the massive devastation - have said the World Trade Center attacks seem to be the only major jetliner crashes in which the critical devices were never located.

A footnote to the 9/11 Commission Report issued this summer flatly states: the CVRs and FDRs from American 11 and United 175?- the two planes that hit the Trade Center - were not found.?BR>
And officials for the FBI - which oversaw the cleanup at Ground Zero - and the New York City Fire Department repeated this week that the devices were never recovered.

Yeah thanks for the 'link' quack addict.

Black boxes don't always survive and often when they are recovered there can be difficulty in recovering data. Stop stealing Al-Qaeda's thunder!
