#8 Agreed, mlo; and for starters, Clinton is no longer in office, so I don't believe the Govt is lying to us any longer. In this time of trouble, people often fail to realize we should support our president and the military.

There are those, however, who cannot live without a conspiracy. If you read back,TWA800 for instance, Elaine Scarry has a more reasonable theory on what happened, EMIs; saw a documentary on this recently, but I haven't heard anyone talking about it--only that the US Navy accidentally shot down the plane, and hundreds of sailors are covering it up. IOW, the Govt did "it", and there isn't ever a rational explanation for anything else, it *has* to be a conspitracy.

To bassmaner, when have these conspiracies been proven "beyond a shadow of doubt"? And, if you have doubt that binLaden is guilty, you should want to protect his rights (one reason why sealed indictments are necessary).

That being said, I will say I agree on Waco, probably Ron Brown, but that was the lousy impeached x42 who was responsible, and I'd welcome anyone to wants to go after that rotten SOB and prosecute him, especially those who voted for him (wink, wink, Rivero).

Flame me, I don't care; I'm tired of this conspiracy talk, when this country is under attack, and we have troops overseas who are trying to get rid of those who put us in peril. Talk is cheap.

I could care less about whether bin-Laden or any of his ilk get due process - frankly if we nuked the entire Middle East to get him it wouldn't bother me all that much. I'm just throwing out some thoughts to an audience that by and large doesn't really trust our federal government all that much - remember Ronald Reagan's remark about "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" being the nine scariest words in the English language!

I'm just wondering if what we see and hear is reality. The tin-foilers seem to be the only ones questioning it - I'm just wondering if it's really fair to just dismiss them out of hand.
