A Republican gubernatorial candidate said Thursday she has questions about whether the U.S. government was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks a statement she swiftly backed away from and one that drew immediate criticism from her better-known rivals in the race.
Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison dismissed the comments made by Debra Medina on the Glenn Beck Show that there were "some very good arguments" that the U.S. was involved in bringing down the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn," Medina said. "I think some very good questions have been raised. In that regard there's some very good arguments and I think the American people have not seen all the evidence there."
Medina later released a statement saying she did not believe the government was involved in the attacks.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11," Medina said in the written statement. "I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way."

Where did that come from - it doesn’t relate to what I wrote.
I went with Kinky last time, so I'll be batting 1000;)
Sorry, I hit the reply to you by accident, I bet that threw ya for a loop ;-)
>>I think the problem is everyone looks at it very black and white. I believe what happened on September 11th was probably something like an episode of 24. Meaning, yes, there were clandestine operators in high up places who helped facilitate the attack. I think we know about 20 percent of what is really happening on any given day.

you’re certain of this? Then surely you can provide facts which support this. Or did you just make it up? Details, please.
Ofcourse, I can't prove a thing. No more than you can prove you know 100 percent every detail about what happened that day.
I do not think Al Queda solely pulled off 9-11. Nor do I think Bush or Cheney "did it". I think we have some international "gangsters" (for lack of a better term) who had insider enemies of America and the Bush administration that helped facilitate the attack. I think it served as some sort of a warning.
I'd wager large sums of money that is pretty close to how it all went down.
So, I don't think I fit the definition of a Truther, I don't think explosives were placed in the building by some monolithic government to strip of of our rights and turn us into a police state.
But, who really knows.
The process is called abstraction. It has been useful for a few thousand years. I am sorry if it doesn’t suit you.
