I hate giving Dean the benefit of the doubt

I think the Freepers on this thread are being far too kind to Howard Dean.

I believe he made a Freudian slip.

He has been talking to a lot of party people lately, and I believe many have told him, and he may believe, that Osama was not responsible for 911.

There are dozens, no probably hundreds, of websites that peddle the "Inside Job" theory. It is widely held among the radical professors in most universities.

I believe Dean is actually undecided on this question--and it was a case of something he did not mean to say in public but which he may well believe.

Such a view is totally consistent with the garbled foreign policy much of the Democratic Party has advocated.

This is just another example of Dean "speaking plainly" but his remark was so absurd that most here are interpreting it as an error.

Absolutely.

We project our kindness and generosity of spirit in the same way our enemies project their envy, mean spiritedness, hatred and rage.

And its killing US.

You know, you could very well be right. I'm sure that he does talk to a lot of nutjobs who don't believe OBL was behind 9/11.
