If a guy like Corn is able to admit this, then those who are sympathetic to those "theories" are really balmy.

In the timeline he notes that transnational oil companies invested billions of dollars to gain access to the oil reserves of Central America and that they expressed interest in a trans-Afghanistan pipeline between 1991 and 1998.

A pipeline from Central America that passes thru Afghanistan?

I must have been asleep that day in Geography class!

Yep! And the clymers that subscribe to this bull clinton take their meds every morning and then start calling C-SPAN to rattle off these accusations.

I expressed doubt that the Bush Administration would kill or allow the murder of thousands of American citizens to achieve a political or economic aim

Hasn't read NSDM-314, I guess.

There is only one way to resolve this, and that is to ask the President, under penalty of perjury, the following questions:

Is it standard procedure to scramble fighters in the event of a hijacking?

A 'no' answer would be a lie from what I have learned and would be grounds for serious action given the gravity of these issues (public confidence)

If yes, are these procedures mandatory unless an appropriate authority intervenes? (Who has such authority?)

If yes, were such procedures followed in a timely manner the moment it was discovered that 4 airliners were off course and not responding to ATC?

If not, why not. And who gave the orders for the fighters to stand down?

I believe it is neccessary that these questions be asked in an investigation. I believe they are the CORE of the inquiry. I also believe that one is justified in thier distrust of ANY administration that is reluctant or adverse to the propriety and neccessity of this inquiry.

This isnt Waco folks. It is critical that the damage to public trust be remedied.

If this is not done, the course we are on may split the electorate irrevokably and I personally fear the potential ramifications in 2004.

"My best guess is that the people who profited were reasonably wealthy individuals in the inner circle of bin Laden and the Taliban." What is curious, though, is that news of the investigations into the short-selling has taken a quick-fade. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor the Chicago Board Options Exchange will say whether they are still investigating trading practices prior to September 11.

nopardons supposedly has the inside scoop on these financial investigations - at least she says her husband does.

It's funny that this entire article fails to mention the keyword "Clinton" once.

I don't know who put Corn on this mission, but he uses the standard methods to discredit the two - Ruppert and Vreeland, as they've been using for the past 50 years. Ask Dulles.

I suppose the bottom line is: believe whatever your government and media tell you. No thanks.

And, to think all these stories were argued as credible at various times here on FreeRepublic.
