Do YOU think people who don't believe the official 9/11 story should be treated like terrorists and investigated?
Bill O'reilly has openly equated the 9/11 truth movement with terrorism and has thrown his weight behind a move to have "these people" investigated by the FBI.

And O'Reilly isn't alone in his desire to see people who question 9/11 targeted as supporters of terrorists. The White House's own strategy document for "winning the war on terror," cited by Bush in a U.N General Assembly speech, identifies conspiracy theorists as terrorist recruiters .

While I don't agree with the contentions of the conspiracy set, I also do not agree that they should be investigated. Free speech is a hallmark of our Constitutional freedoms and without we cannot be truly free. I think it is the duty of people to speak out against things they do not like or agree with, the same as I believe it is the duty of people hearing this information to examine the evidence and decide for themselves.
Bert T: So what you are telling us is that you are for selected free speech. Now before you get defensive let me explain my statement. The whole point of the question is that many people feel like the conspiracy theorists are wrong and dangerous in their thinking, so therefore they believe they should be stopped. On the other hand you think they have a right to state their opinions and be unmolested ofr it, which I agree with, but you do not want to extend the same right to hold and express opinions to Mr. Limbaugh. I hate to tell you Bert, but your hypocrisy is showing yet again. Lastly, anyone can be nominated for the Peace prize and you need to search a little better because his nomination is real, although I feel it is just as rediculous as Al Gore's.

Bill O'Reilly is a proven liar. I do think those 9/11 conspiracy people are crazy. But I don't think they are hurting anything. People who want to become terrorists are going to find any reason they can to do so. I don't think the 9/11 truth movement is dangerous other then to the basic intelligence of humans.

Funny, the people who should be most investigated are opening investigations on their opposition? Best defense is a good offense, I suppose.
While I don't agree with the 9/11 conspiracy theory, it is a free country. Believe what you like. That does not make you a terrorist or terrorist supporter.
I wouldn't put too much(any actually) merit into the words of Oreilly or bush. Consider the source. Or as the old computer term, garbage in, garbage out.

The 911 conspiracy theorists will not be investigated by the FBI.
Bad research and deliberately misleading people with selectively chosen facts is not a crime. If it was everyone who had anything to do with our lead up to the war would already in prison. (Some of them have been, Judith Miller, Scooter Libby etc.)
I'm surprised to find someone who can see the 911 conspiracy theory as the BS that it is but still feels Bill O'Reilly has any credibility whatsoever.
Bill and the conspiracy theorists he derides have more in common than either care to admit.

Sounds like the US government has something to hide, thats why they are trying to suppress peoples right to free speech. Personally I don't believe any of the conspiracy theories but think that the US government has not told the full truth about events and has exploited public outrage at what happened that day for its own selfish interests. Technically these conspiracy theorists have not commited any crimes so an investigation by the FBI would just be a complete waste of time and taxpayers money. This time and money would be better spent tackling gangs and drugs etc.. to make the US safer for its people

It is unconstitutional to do so...there for I disagree with O'Reilly...of course he also blamed that kidnapped kid of enjoying being raped...so I don't take much stock in what he says. Furthermore, Bush stating such things reminds me of him saying there was no wire tap program, then it was perfectly legal because he said so, then he scaled the wire tap program back. So again, doesn't hold much water.
I don't think conspiracy theorists are terrorists...I think the word terrorist is SO watered down it means nothing now. Terrorist are those guys that want to kill you...people who vocally oppose the government do so because they hope their opinion will change it. A terrorist, or terrorist supporter would say "Forget talking" and just blow it up. HUGE difference.

I do not believe anyone who has legitimate questions about ANYTHING should be subjected to FBI investigation, and I believe anyone who DOES support such an action is a fascist, pure and simple.
I do however believe anyone who supports fascism in America SHOULD be investigated and, if cause is found to be adequate, the person so found to be advocating fascism should be categorized as to what he or she is, i.e., a fascist.
When Rush Limbaugh tells his listening audience a complete fabrication, such as the US soldier death rate in Iraq being comparable to Philadelphia's murder rate, and goes so far as to list the bogus data he uses to draw this conclusion on his website, then HE should be investigated by the FBI. He says since Philly had over 500 murders in 2006, and we only lost 600 or so US soldiers in Iraq in 2006, why arent people whining about Philly? The problem with his assertion is there are 2-3 million people in the Metro Philadephia area, while only 140,000 US troops in Iraq, so the mean deaths per 100,000 totals are COMPLETELY different, Philly's being 6 per 100,000 (or so) and US soldiers being closer to 520 per 100,000.
BTW, Rush is so pissed Al Gore was nominated for a Nobel Peace PRize, Rush says (on his webpage) HE was nominated for a Noble Peace Prize as well! Although the only place I see any news of that online is JUST his webpage. And for WHAT could he POSSIBLY be nominated FOR? Eradicating the drug problem by stealing and taking as many as he personally could?

The only people concerned about the 9-11 truth movement are those concerned we're getting too close.
There isn't a single piece of evidence to back up the govts story. Not one.

Bill O' Roguely must be in on the the conspiracy and dangerously close to discovery of his insider trading, especially on the Libby case. He's as much a traitor as the rest of our politicians/media.
Most of these people need to look up what "False Flagging" means.
Blind, brainwashed bozos.

I think Bill O'Reilly is the one who should be investigated by the FBI! Only problem with that is that 9/11 really was an inside job, and the FBI were involved, too! At the very least, they were involved in the cover-up!!!! It is only the real terrorists that do not want to uncover the real truth!!!!
