To: null and void
One thing I've noticed under both Clinton and Bush is that terrorist attacks are written off as something else unless the evidence is so overwhelming and filmed and broadcast live that the spokespeople can't deny it and keep a straight face. Remember the plane that crashed in NY about a week after the WTC fell? The Florida kid that flew a light plane into a skyscraper? The LAX attack has already been mentioned on this thread.

I'm also wondering about the building that blew up in NYC last week. It could have been a guy killing himself, but blowing up a four story building is a pretty extreme form of suicide. I don't have any evidence to the contrary, but I sure don't trust reports from government officials.

Remember also the shoe bomber. At first they tried to paint him as a mostly harmless nut, and tried to say the shoe bomb would have done no serious damage. But it didn't work because a lot of people knew the bomb could have done some real harm.

The building in NYC was, I think, a genuine suicide nut case. The perp died overnight, I think. A terrorist would have likely done something that would have harmed more civilians--they like to hurt women and children, brave he-men that they are...

I think that our 'betters' believe that acknowledging a terrorist attack gives the terrorists a victory.

They might also be just the teensiest bit afraid that we would be wakened and filled with a terrible resolve...

Smart approach.

The Government, these days, does not trust the People either. Fine by me.

Don't forget the Beltway Sniper. From the Trial:

Malvo testified. He said Muhammad's plan was to use the money to create a community in Canada to train 140 children as terrorists to carry out shooting rampages across the country and destroy the economy by killing 10 people a day.

Duh, why is this not counted as terrorism?
