That man is really good at asking tough questions.
People may claim that this is a conspiracy theory that doesn't warrant any further inquiry in order to pay our respects to the ones that lost their
lives. The truth is that there is alot of questionable and confusing evidence that people are using as a foundation to build this conspiracy theory
upon.
The truth should speak for itself.. but IMO that isn't always true. Look at the Roswell coverup, which was apparent from the beginning. The truth
can be obscured by those who feel it necessary to do so. That means that any investigation done by the "obscurers", if you will, is not credible.
This means that, YES, the government has the power to lie when it wants.
Many people believe that we owe it to those who died on 9/11 to let go of what happened and move on. But if there is some questionable evidence that
remains, shouldn't we at least be speculative? The government has lied before.. Shouldn't we be at least somewhat suspicous? I'm not saying we
should all lock ourselves in our basements and wear aluminum foil helmets.
I don't think that the government, nor the bush administration, handled these conspiracy theories as they should have. What they have left is alot
of people who believe the hype and believe everything they can find that pits their version of the truth up against the government. This means that
logic and truth can be pawned for "self gratification" so that anything that proves the government wrong is suddenly a "breath of fresh air".
We shouldn't believe everything we are told by conspiracy theory believers. But that goes for the government as well, as history has shown. The
government would be completely fine if we were subservient and stupid.
