It seems the 9-11 Commission left out a lot of details, like tracing the funding for such an attack, what happened to building 7. The whole report was approved by the Bush administration. Do you accept authority as truth or are you willing to search for truth as the authority? We need an independant investigation. There are too many coincidences and unanswered questions.

just the fact that the Bush administration approved it spells trouble to me. We need to question authority, certainly.

"like tracing the funding for such an attack"
Don't you think that falls under the domain of national security?
"what happened to building 7"
The WTC collapsed next to it.... imagine the forces that building experienced.
"Do you accept authority as truth or are you willing to search for truth as the authority? We need an independant investigation. There are too many coincidences and unanswered questions."
It's not the whole truth, but I accept it. It's better than the alternatives provided. An independent investigation? Are you mad? It happened 6 years ago, the report would be colored with people's partisan opinions. Let's face it: you want an independent investigation because you want to hear it was all Bush's fault.

It is the duty of the citizens to question the government. But let me be clear. The government only has authority because the citizens gave it to the government. No government has inherent authority except by the will of the citizens or by acceptance of the citizens.
If the citizens, who hold the true authority, doesn't question the government, who is supposed to serve the citizens, then the citizens are letting the government get away with whatever crime (or secret activities) they're doing. That is the same as letting a crime happen by negligence.

ALWAYS question authority. Americans don't because we are now scared of our own government. We are closer to a dictatorship than ever before and people refuse to face the facts. It's a witch hunt. "Who's not patriotic? Listen to the commander in chief" and all that nonsense. 1984 by Orwell is becoming more and more familiar.
People need to start reading books and finding out what the government is doing. We should question all the insane arrests, secret prisons, the PATRIOT Act saying they can search our homes without a warrant or even telling us. Our emails are subject to searching. Everything is open and all because government officials use the words "terrorist" and "freedom" loosely.

Question authority? Absolutely. The United States was based on that very idea (in party, of course).
Insist on access to top secret or sensitive materials being given to people who have no loyalty or normal access to those materials?
Never. You will not find a way to give that information to our enemies by that route.
It stays safe.

You know just because details are left out does not mean their is a cover up. Have you ever heard of security. If we tell our enemy how we are watching them they will change their system.

Yes its a conspiracy and I am in on it. It actually was the Russians but we didn't want to go to war with them.
You see anyone can make up a conspiracy theory. Got any more for us?
BTW: Who would you trust? The Russians? DUH!
