 Liberal/Progressive blinders on the questions of 9/11 [911Truth.org]
Email today from the blogger at Totally Fixed and Rigged, pointing to his own posts over the last few days about recent articles in liberal/progressive media dismissing the "conspiracy nuts" of the 9/11 Truth movement, and about how when he cross-posted over at Daily Kos and Smirking Chimp he was censored. Very interesting reading, I recommend it. Meanwhile he recommends reading THIS article, one of the smartest things I've ever read on 9/11:

Into the Ring with Counterpunch on 9/11: How Alexander Cockburn, Otherwise So Bright, Blanks Out on 9/11 Evidence
[...]
Rather than arguing in the abstract for the delegitimizing power of the 9/11 evidence, let me give a concrete example of it. Robert Bowman, a retired USAF Lt. Colonel who holds a Ph.D. in physics, was director of Advanced Space Program Development for the USAF in the Ford and Carter administrations. Here's a part of what he had to say as a speaker at the DC Emergency Truth Convergence organized by the 9/11 Truth Movement in Washington, DC in July, 2005:
... This cabal of neoconservatives from PNAC who planned this war - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Jeb Bush - even before W. became president, they told us why they had to do it. They said we need to occupy Iraq permanently in order to dominate Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the southern Russian republics around the Caspian Sea. We need to control the entire Middle East and all its oil.
[...]
[T]hey knew the American people wouldn't stand for it, and they said so in their documents - and they said, unless there's that new Pearl Harbor. Well, 9/11 did supply that - and we've been lied to not only about the war, but about 9/11 itself. They ignored the warnings: more than that, we have mounting evidence that - at least - they made it impossible for those planes to be intercepted. If our government had merely [done] nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot - I know the drill, I know what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures are, I know what they were, and I know what they've changed them to - if our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. My sisters and brothers, that is treason!
