...why I fingered bin-Laden as the prime suspect...But I still wonder what, if anything he had to do with 9-11? You are prescient and offer an interesting line of reasoning. But do you contradict yourself? After all, bin Laden and his cohorts have taken credit for 9/11.
I missed the news accounts you reference --- probably because I was preparing for a trip to Ireland (not paying attention) where I was when the towers were hit. Although I agree that there are dark forces at work in all governments, I don't know if I can agree with your assessment of Bush.
It was obvious to me that he'd be the top suspect named by our gov't. They greased the skids beforehand. Just a coincidence that they wanted to raise awareness of bin-Laden the week before the attack? Hey, maybe he's just being a good team player by giving the spooks a convenient and compelling reason to make us accept permament crisis status. Roosevelt used the permament crisis ruse to start the ball rolling and now GWB's handlers are finishing it. And all the while the faithful cheer. Rah rah.
