(Ralph)Nader on 9/11. Nader on Ron Paul.

On 9/11: Ralph Nader, the consumer activist and independent presidential candidate, seems to think that the report of the commission assigned to investigate the events of 9-11 should not be the last word.

“There are unanswered questions in the 9-11 investigation, and they should be answered,” Nader said at a recent address at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. “How do you go from plausibility to evidence? You have a more independent inquiry.”

On the morning of September 11, 2001, airliners collided with each of the twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center, after which they and a third nearby office building mysteriously collapsed. Other incidents on the same day at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania were also attributed to aircraft collisions. All were pitched by the government as the result of a terrorist conspiracy, although it is widely believed that the government may have played a direct role in orchestrating the events.

On another topic, Nader had kind words to say for presidential candidate, Ron Paul.

“Ron Paul is very good on foreign policy,” he said. “He’s a refreshing voice.”

Nader also praised Paul for his outspoken opposition to the aggressive U.S. stance against Iran and the so-called ‘war-on-drugs.’

"after which they and a third nearby office building mysteriously collapsed."
Wrong. There's nothing mysterious about uncontrolled fires combined with severe structural damage collapsing steel structures. This is a classic dangerous conspiracist's propaganda yarn.

"Other incidents on the same day at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania were also attributed to aircraft collisions."
"Attributed" my *ss. Too bad these nutjobs don't have the guts to make these snide remarks to the faces of the 86 families that had loved ones on these two flights. I'd love to watch them get a mouth full of teeth, just like the time a nutjob had the audacity confront Buzz Aldrin about Apollo. After all, this kind of insinuation naturally implies the victims' families are lying and their loved ones were somehow involved in the plot.

"All were pitched by the government as the result of a terrorist conspiracy, although it is widely believed that the government may have played a direct role in orchestrating the events."
Pitched by the government? Lie. The "government" did not force Osama to take responsibility on tape. Widely believed? Lie. Funny how nutjobs fantasize about not being a minority with extremist beliefs. They had to design and pay for a skewed zogby poll just to try to set their minds at ease. Sadly for them, a later zogby poll that directly asked how many thought Bush was directly involved in 9/11 only got a 4.2% "yes" vote. Widely believed? Hardly.

OK, I know that the WTC buildings were a controlled demolition, and the pentagon was hit by an American missle, but what the hell happened in a field in Pennsylvania if it wasn't a plane crash? Did the field spontaneously combust? Probably. Bush is that evil!

“although it is widely believed that the government may have played a direct role in orchestrating the events. “

Yes, but the NEOCONS will cover this up just like they covered up the raping of that black girl by those Duke Lacross players./s
