$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')ersonally, I know enough to realize that there is disinformation on both sides, though my judgement (based a lot on just very simple reasoning and preconcieved notions) is that it is extremely unlikely that the Government could have perpetrated a conspiracy on this scale and keep it secret.
This is a point that many people make, but it simply doesn't hold water (at least for me). For one thing, due to compartmentalization, most people have no idea of the "big picture" and how the little job they are doing might fit in. CIA keeps secrets all time. In additiion, tens of thousands were involved in Manhattan Project and kept secret. Stealth Bomber, kept secret.
Hell, even when NORAD and FAA lied to 9/11 Commission, no one in military personnel stepped forward to say, "That's not true!"
So just the fact that no big shot has stepped forward to say, "I admit it. It was all an inside job," doesn't really prove anything.
Also, are you aware that FAA personnel (current and retired) are under a federal gag order? Bet you didn't. Gag orders certainly help keep secrets. As well, NY firefighters and police are under an "unofficial" gag order due to the political lightning rod that 9/11 is. If they speak out, they catch hell from the union.
But you can listen to the firefighters (before they were silenced) in the French brothers documentary film talking about the explosions going off on each floor.
But more than 50% of New Yorkers believe it was an inside job and more than 40% of Americans (Zogby Poll) don't believe the government's story.
May I please say a word about the rescue workers and city residents/workers who were told the air was OK so Wall Street could open and for PR purposes? The rescue workers are literally dropping like flies from resperitory diseases, coughing up blood.
All in all, we need a new investigation to follow ALL LEADS.
