Tony Blair was right about his evidence being insufficient to convict in a court of law.

Posts like this remind me of: "Benedict Arnold was no doubt exercising his right to free speech when he sold out West Point."

However, please keep it up Ada so all can see your true side! The Rosenbergs were just trying to keep us from making foriegn policy, weren't they!

Well...that's as far as I got. Maybe the guy had something to say......but if he is that sheeple-like, I'm not gonna waste my time.

When Clinton bombed the "nerve gas" factory in Sudan, I remember posting on a liberal forum that it was a pharmaceutical factory and was immediately accused of being a traitor. IOW I'm used to it.

If you have any specific evidence, please cite it.

The NY Times is no longer the national paper of record. It has been supplanted by the National Enquirer. As for the Washington Post, it has been called the Big Red Hooker of Journalism, and rightfully so.

The Irish Times has proven to be nest of anti-American sentiment.

Calling the Old York Times and Washington Ghost the "two most respected papers in America" is like calling a gold toothed gangsta-rapper a poet. Don't give the bath house boys too much credit. They've been living on past laurels for 30 years and have at best been characterized aptly as the two biggest apologists for Clintonian decrepitude.

Don't know but I know the evidence was weak.

Americans were p*ssed over 911, we needed somebody to bomb, and what the hell, we already knew bin Laden was a troublemaker.

We've had better evidence against Bin Laden for earlier crimes. I dunno maybe he had something to do with it; but before we bomb the c--p of Afghanistan, I want to see the evidence connecting him with this one.

Too bad it's the innocent civilians paying most of the price.

Where's your evidence for this, other than the "crocodile tears" of the American leftist media?

From the sound of things, lots of Taliban soldiers have been killed. That, after all, is the main objective.

Americans were p*ssed over 911, we needed somebody to bomb, and what the hell, we already knew bin Laden was a troublemaker.

bin Laden has as much as admitted his involvement in 9/11. Where have you been?

. I think we just have to admit that Al Qaida lets its operatives have a great deal of latitude...and its not as if you an maintain 100% control.

Its possible that al Qaida is an idea rather than an organization. Perhaps they have adopted the "leaderless cell" strategy.

The author cited these two papers because they have written more extensively than the others on the details. Both seem to have given the government the benefit of the doubt.

But you're right. When we find out who really is responsible, it will come from the National Enquirer :-)
