It's Time to Play...

DUELING CONSPIRACY THEORIES!

The proposition that Al-Qaeda is a global terrorist network constitutes a conspiracy theory. The question then becomes, which conspiracy theory do you prefer? And why do you prefer one over the other? I have always assumed that the 9/11 Commission was constituted to protect the Federal government--as opposed to, say, interrogate what evidence the Federal government failed to destroy in the immediate aftermath of the events. But my presumption has been that the cover-up (which is standard operating bureaucratic procedure) was designed to conceal incompetence--i.e., "sins of omission." Professor Zarembka's questions raise the issue of "sins of commission." Since Dick Cheney is convinced that water-boarding is an effective way to produce credible testimony, perhaps it is time to strap him to a gurney for questioning. 9/11 and the War On Terror have made him fabulously wealthy...Coincidence?
