This article attempts to equate 9/11 Truth with the Clinton - Vince Foster conspiracy theories and now the absurd "Obama-not-born-in-America" theories.

What this article fails acknowledge is that 9/11 was a massive crime against humanity - investigated at a cost of millions of dollars to the U.S. taxpayers. These other 'conspiracy theories' were not.
At the end of this investigative process we were told by the chairman of that commission:
"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . ."

Additionally - in January 2008 Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton, chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the 9/11 commission - wrote an editorial in the NY Times declaring they were "Stonewalled by the CIA"

Have there been 'conspiracy theories' about 9/11?
Of course. But conspiracy theories are the last tragic refuge of a society that is utterly abandoned by its investigative journalists and elected representatives. Conspiracy theories are the natural side-product product of lies. When journalists and governments refuse to clarify the historical record - and allow lies to stand - the public rightfully begins the process of demanding accountability - and begin the arduous process connecting the dots themselves.
And, as with the claims of WMDs in Iraq, when our investigative journalists and elected representatives rollover and fail to do their JOBS - tragic consequences can result.
For those at Politico.com who are slow to learn - take heed - because the concept is a simple one.
Our government failed to protect us on 9/11 - and 3,000 people died. A government commission charged with investigating this crime published findings that - according to chairman of that commission were "so far from the truth" - and the result of "Stonewalling" by the C.I.A.
Politico.com is derelict in its duties for failing to present this side of the story - and investigate and address this criminal act.
Attempts to equate 9/11 to Vince Foster or Obama-Birth-Certificate-gate is simply adding insult to the considerable injury that was inflicted upon this country, and its people, on 9/11.
Shame on Politico.com
