    National Post: '9/11 Skeptics Resurface' and "Conspiracy Theories" http://arabesque911.blogspot.com/2008/10/national-...

    While the 9/11 election scandals were short-lived, soon buried by the stock market meltdown, it served to ignite-- or perhaps reinvigorate -- a cross-country campaign to get 9/11 conspiracy theories on to the Canadian public's agenda. On newspapers' letters pages, on Web sites and in blogs, 9/11 skeptics burst out of the closet and urged others to follow suit, apparently convinced they formed a silenced majority. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=892...

    I would like to ask the National Post: is it a "conspiracy theory" that not one single person within the FAA, NORAD, FBI, CIA, etc was fired or reprimanded after the events of 9/11? Is it a "conspiracy theory" that those most responsible for preventing the attacks were promoted? It is a "conspiracy theory" that investigations into the 9/11 attacks were blocked by the Bush administration for more than a year, or that evidence was destroyed or is being withheld? National Post, were the 9/11 war games involving hijacked airliners on 9/11 as reported by credible news sources a "conspiracy theory"? Shouldn't this information be something that the National Post should be educating their readers about? Is it also a "conspiracy theory" that NORAD intercepts aircraft hundreds of times a year, but on 9/11 we are told... well actually we were told three contradictory stories by NORAD! So when NORAD tells us three contradictory stories in an attempt to explain why they couldn't intercept any planes on 9/11, is that a "conspiracy theory" too? Senator Mark Dayton said in testimony during a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearing that NORAD officials "lied".

    Nice.

    While some conspiracy theories are laughed off as harmless diversions, purported 9/11 plots are often viewed more harshly because many quickly devolve into anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism.

    "What makes the 9/11 conspiracy theories particularly important is that they have united disparate groups of Jew haters -- American far-right extremists, white supremacists and elements within the Arab and Muslim world -- who are exchanging and echoing information, ideas, and conspiracy theories, particularly through the Internet," says a report by the Anti-Defamation League, a U. S.-based Jewish organization.

    Yes. Always the same hit piece drones. So there was no "large, consequential cause" of 9/11? Hmm, interesting.

    "Sept. 11 was a huge event with these massive building structures crumbling to the ground. This made people feel completely out of control -- who knew when this type of terror would happen again?" Prof. Galinsky said. "Whenever a big event happens -- a large consequential, meaningful event -- people assume there has to be some large, consequential cause of it."

    "When people don't have control objectively, what they try to do is regain it psychologically and one way to do that is by seeing patterns in the world -- superstitions, conspiracies, seeing the Virgin Mary in a water stain -- all serve the same underlying purpose," he said. "They allow people to feel in control over their environment."

    .

    Galinsky provides a perfect description there of the al-Qaeda myth, but isn't this getting a bit tiresome? Always the same exact phrases, seven years on?
