I'm not ignoring any facts.

And your assertion that 9/11 could have been prevented if James Woods opinion had been taken seriously is profoundly flawed.

He never made the connection between these guys and the 9/11 hijackers until AFTER the harm had been done.

If he had told anyone about his experience immediately, what do you think could have happened as a result that would have prevented the events of 9/11? Keep in mind that this is James Woods, and that he didn't witness any crime or offense.

He DID report it, not only to the pilots, but also to the FBI immediately AFTER the flight.

That is why, if you knew all the facts, you would know that the FBI called James Woods after 9-11 (may have even been that same day) and they said: "We'd like to talk to you about your report."

Woods said "Ok, I'll get dressed and come right down."

FBI said "Don't bother, we're in your driveway."

You not only are ignoring facts, but even are refusing the READ them, when you are directed to them.

READ O'Reilly's interview with Woods.

"WOODS: Well, first I have to back up and tell you about the flight that I took. The flight I took was actually on August 1st. And I have not talked about this in the press until this day because there was a lot of misinformation that came out about it.

I was on a flight, without going into the details of what made me suspicious of these four men, although it would have been blatantly obvious to the most casual observer, I took it upon myself to go to the flight attendant and ask to speak to the pilot of the plane. The first officer came out. I reported to him that I felt that the four men, and I said, "Can you look over my shoulder and see who I'm talking about?" And he said, "Yeah." I said I think they're going to hijack this plane. I mean, everything they're doing, and I explained to him these details, which I've been asked to keep private, until whatever jurisdiction, you know -- whatever trials may take place, their behavior was such that I felt that they were going to hijack the plane. "

Woods did warn, but he was IGNORED.

You are encouraging people to IGNORE suspicious people, who may be terrorists.

The point is that there are warnings at airports, TELLING people to look around them and REPORT suspicious behavior.
