Before you start spouting off about tin foil hats and Elvis- I want you to know I am not a conspiracy theorist, I just think there are some holes in the official explanation of 9/11. Please read the links before you make your comment.

No- I wasn't in New York- but my uncle died in the attacks, so I am concerned with what happened that day. And I never said I thought Bush planned it. I am just curious about the inconsistencies in the official story.

I guess the question is why don't people realize everything is not as it seems?

What about the Manhattan project- even Einstein didn't know what he was involved in- there are ways to get things accomplished without every one knowing what part they are playing.
I am not surfer dude. I think he is weird and a fake liberal. I never said I was a conspiracy theorist- but I do think the Government is capable of being wrong about this and other things too.
Also- I did read the whole BBC article- and I also checked the references for the other web page.
I am just a curious person who questions everything before I draw any conclusions.

I think it is interesting that most of you assumed that I believe 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government. That is not what I think, per se. I don't really pretend to know what happened. The gov't has lied to us in the past- golf of tonkin is one example. Also this administration has lied to us- Rumsfeld saying we know they have WMD, north south east west, and we will be out of Iraq in a few months tops. I do not know what to believe anymore, but I do not trust what the republicans or democrats say about anything. I have read the 9/11 commission report and there are things they didn/t address. Even the people on the commission say that it is only a first draft and that they were blocked from getting info out of certain sources. It is bad that Clinton didn't go after Bin Laden aggressively, and that Bush didn't either before 9/11- but it is horrifying that Bush has not gone after him post 9/11, stating himself that he doesn't really think about Bin Laden anymore.

My whole family is disappointed that my uncle's death and many others is being used in the way it is- to go to war with Iraq and not go after the real terrorist. Even my grandpa, who was a republican his whole life is fed up with the president and congress and says he will never forgive how his son's death could have been prevented if Bush's administration had been paying attention, and he is upset that not enough people are asking why so much of the events preceding 9/11 has been covered up. So I don't trust the gov't or the media and I want to look for my own information. That is all. I refuse to just believe what the government says, I keep my mind open to ALL possibilities, not just the official statement.

I just wish people could open up their minds to all possibilities before they just decide what they think. I do not know what I believe for sure about 9/11, but I refuse to just buy the official story because I am supposed to. It may be the truth- but I cannot know that without considering other possible truths first.

gee answered your own question with your surfer dude avatar... original....
nothing is history is 100% certain, weird things, unexplainable things happen, just because we dint know every thing that occurred does not mean it is a conspiracy.
5 to 1 says you give the points to surfer dude or one of your other avatars, will you ever stop point gaming?

Those people were only aleged hijackers. And really, they're being pointed out on a site that has no reliable backing or media credit to it. Nothing is really known to well about the terrorist organizations anyway. Personally, your thrist for knowledge about the attacks can most likely be pointed out if you read that borefest called the 9/11 Comission Report. If you want to know more about it, than that's all you. Personally, I don't want to know anymore than what is realised. People are asking to see the blackbox recordings for the planes that crashed, but I honesly do not want to see that sort of thing.
Regardless, the information we have now is the only info we're getting. Even if there was a "conspiracy" the government would have had enough time by now to put out enough phoney evidence that you wouldn't know if it was fake or not. Even if there was a government setup, you won't know what really "happened" anyway.
P.S. I'm a liberal, and I believe there was no conspiracy. Please stop saying that all liberals are government conspiracy vomitting dimwits.

I could have performed matters otherwise if I'd been Bush. As you mentioned such a lot (15) of the nineteen hijackers have been Saudis. The ultimate four have been Egyptians. Both are international locations supposedly pleasant to the US. If I'd been Bush, I'd have rolled up Saudi Arabia like an historical rug. That could have despatched a powerful message. It could have introduced the secular Muslims like Saddam proper again to our aspect. He used to be our best friend as soon as earlier than within the 1980's, and could had been once more if it served his cause. The S.O.B. used to be not anything if now not a survivor. We'd even have had a manage at the Muslim radicals. Taking Saudi could have given us manipulate over the 2 holiest Muslim web sites, Mecca and Medina, either one of which we might have blasted off the face of the earth as payback for nine/eleven. Let's see if those creeps can live to tell the tale two,0000 years with out their temple just like the Jews have. I would not wager on it, could you?

"It's worth reminding those who may have forgotten that the government is a trust owned by the ordinary citizen and that
those who hold government positions are no more than trustees. Therefore, to know the TRUTH is not only the right of the citizen, it is his duty and obligation, so that he will be able to carry out his role as owner of the trust. In a democracy that is worthy of the name, the citizen is active day in and day out: His role is not confined to casting his vote every few years. It follows that without the free flow of information, democracy is voided of most of its content."
"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
-- Abraham Lincoln
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." -
-- Abraham Lincoln
"The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure." -
-- Albert Einstein

Please, please read this...
They're people who are identified as hijackers because of ID mix up. Hijackers took stolen IDs. They didn't find actual 'suspects.'
The title put quotation mark around SUSPECTS because these are not actual suspects, but people whose ID matches suspects ID because their ID was stolen by real suspects.
The title Hijack 'suspects' alive and well points confusion over identities and it is not meant to be taken literally. It is attention grabbing title. It is not what the article says.
So, if a guy steals you ID blow up WTC. Are you guilty? Are you going to jail for that crime?
You think it's weird criminals use fake IDs? You think this is first time criminals taking someone else's IDs?
Quote from that BBC article.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1559151.stm
"FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt."
Conclusion? The true identity (name, origin) of hijackers are in question. It appears they used false IDs during travel.
Learn to read some English man. And comprehend what you read instead of just scanning the title.
Question is why don't people learn to read and comprehend?
Please go back and read the entire article, not just the title and let us know what you think.

To dismiss the overwhelming evidence that explicitly shows how hundreds of questions remain unanswered suggests a cover-up by our government. Conservative thinking has taught us to keep government in check 100% of the time.
More and more people are joining the 9/11 truth movement. We are unstoppable. To deny the smidgeon of facts presented here and the many others unmentioned is akin to being like those who have denied the Holocaust. It's intellectually dishonest.
Go ahead and give this a thumbs down if your Patriotism is of the cheapest kind. Yours is the kind that our forefathers would have laughed at. They demanded that we question authority, as they did. Our Constitution provides us with the means to explore the truth and to keep the government in check. But even the Constitution has been threatened as of late.
So, give it a thumbs down if you wish to cling to your Cheap Patriotism and your unconditional loyalty to a President and a Government that has demonstrated nothing but contempt for Accountability, Truth, Constitution, and most importantly - the 9/11 victims, their families and surviving rescue workers who continue to suffer the loss of their loved ones.
Peace, may the truth be brought forward and the guilty be brought to justice.

welfarestate.com is ridiculous in the conclusions they draw and the statements they make. Mohammad Atta didn't LOOK suicidal when observed paying his bills prior to 9/11??? What kind of idiotic logic is that????
The BBC link on the other hand is somewhat jarring. I wonder if it's a legit BBC link.

Some things are just self evident and don't require a lot of investigating.
Let us assume for a moment the ridiculous theory that the US government orchestrated the events of 9/11:
For instance, when you consider the complex nature of such a plan, and the necessary attention to details involved, do you think it is rational to think that the government would then expose terrorists as the perpetrators - that are still alive? Not likely, eh?

First of all-your sources are not reliable by any means...Second, if there was a conspiracy (and there is certainly not)...it would have had to involve SO many people...someone would have broken out with that by now. I mean officially-not just some lunatic yapping about nothing.
