Keep in mind that in France, with almost 10% of its population now muslim, there is a huge market for paranoid anti-US theories. The above story was written by Nina Burleigh, who was working for Time when she said she would gladly go to the White House to give Clinton oral sex because she liked his approval of abortion.

No argument about France; the book claiming the attack on the Pentagon was faked came from France. But these guys seem to be a little more reputable than that. It may be that much of what's in the book is being selectively quoted out of context to make the US actions seem more sinister than they were. I have no problem with the idea that backchannels between the US and the Taliban existed pre-9/11, or neccesarily with the possibility that oil pipeline plans were discussed during that time. But it would be tempting for W's political enemies to spin such contacts to their advantage.

The author's behavior and prior statements have totally discredited anything she might report about. Even the least sophisticated Democrat knows this woman cannot be trusted! That's why there is such widespread disinterest in her stuff!

BIG BUMP and what can anyone expect from a bunch of SUCKER BLOWERS, we should have let the Germans keep them after the war, they would have screwed them into what they wanted them to be instead of being a bunch of Back Stabbers and Wimps.....
