It's been a long time since I last posted. 'Just wanted to refresh my CT habits a little for once
Anyway, this is an opinion-type thread. I want you all to give me your opinion on whether you think the US Govt has taken enough time to prove 9/11 was carried by Al-Qaeda, plus the building collapses, flight 93, flight 77, etc; or you think they have left us wishing for a better inquiry on [whatever you believe they left out].
MY opinion is.. well I think they did left some things unanswered, which is pitiful, because had they not, conspiracy theories would have no place in reality as you know. But because they did, that leaves us wondering what could the molten metal at GZ mean, or what could the ISI connection alleged by the Indian press mean, and so on.
I also think that it's sort of unfair the way you guys treat CTers. Anyway, I know most of us are delusional asshats, but we do hold some legitimate questions. You may think they have been answered, but have they been answered properly? Officially?
And thats what burden of proof is all about. It's irrefutable that the USG has started (at least) war because of 9/11, and it's also due to this ongoing war on terror, that we have had some odd acts passed these last years, which are argued to infringe a few of our constitutional rights.
I would naturally say it's no big deal, as long as there's a reason to enact them, but say, if there's the least possibility to doubt aspects on the official story, shouldn't the government have had done a better job defending their investigations? Because if something is not true, then they're covering up what went on on that day. How can we support their new agendas over the war on terror, if we aren't able to trust them 100%? Especially when it comes to the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions act, etc.?THEY have the burden of proof, because they made all that legislature up.
We CTers are just asking questions (and-making-loony-theories-out-of-our-asses), and if I can make that point straight, we haven't got proper and definite answers from them, in our honest opinion. The jersey girls believe they haven't. First respondents think they haven't. We don't have the burden of proof requiring us prove our theories, be it LIHOP, MIHOP, or whatever. As long as there's doubt, there is legitimacy in being a CTer. The gov't should be the one which all of us should be skeptical about. Put the frigging spotlights on the Commission Report, shall we! They're the ones required to show proof, not us. That's my point. Anyway, do you think they properly investigated the attacks? Or did they not? Only in a few topics? Tell me your opinion whatever it is!
I'll go ahead and say which ones I think they covered up, and did not investigate at all (or at least didn't disclose the information to the public yet)
-Hijackers money trail (ISI connection)
-Prior knowledge from international warnings (or whatever other warnings; Able danger perhaps.)
-Molten metal on GZ
-WTC7 collapse
These below are those I believe they could have done a better job, but I got no direct implications on:
-NORAD War Games (sorry gumboot
)
-Flight 93 on Shanksville (yeah, blame me for reading killtown's crap)
-Twin Towers collapse (Well, I just read a DENIAL article which made a good point about them avoiding analyzing the collapse... I can't help it but say they could have done more than prove a possible collapse initiation.)
-Air condition on Manhattan post-collapse (hm yeah, doesn't really has much to do with the attacks itself, but still.)
Hum.. what else... well that's about it. As far as I remember.
And please, I know you guys have had 'debunked' all these topics before, but I just wanted to know your opinion on the government's role in explaining them. Again, just your opinion in whether they did a good job on each separately. Sure I won't stop you from debunking them here, be my guest (I've seen most debunking on all those already), but thats not what this thread is about.. so let's keep it cool.
Thats all, I hope I can get a good word from you people, and not get bashed for being so naive.
