Ahmadinejad a truther?

Not that this should come as any surprise.

This is actually with his press adviser, not Ahmadinejad himself.

Out the door again at 8:00am for a meeting with President Ahmadinejad's press adviser, Ali Akbar Javanfekr, a polite and smiling man with a prematurely snow-white beard.

Javanfekr wanted to know what I wanted to talk about.

We sat over tea and chatted for an hour about just about everything on the table between the U.S. and Iran. What surprised me most was the spokesman's skepticism about who really caused the Sept. 11th attacks.

Suffice to say, conspiracy theories are alive and well at the highest levels of the Iranian government. Like the Holocaust, this is a subject they will leave for further study.

Not really a surprise. What do you say to people when the facts are in front of them but they won't look? More importantly what about when it is a man leading a country who may be developing nukes to bring about the 12th imam or santa claus or something? Maybe carpet bomb butterfly nets.

Ahmadinejad even hinted at it in his "letter" to Bush in 2006.

All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good standing of their citizens. Reportedly your government employs extensive security, protection and intelligence systems -- and even hunts its opponents abroad. September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services -- or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren't those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial?

I saw a documentary a while ago.. i forget what it was called.. maybe it was just a youtube clip.. pretty sure it was a documentary.. anyway, apparently a good amount of Iraqis believe 9/11 was a CIA/Mossad jobbie, also.
