Instead of responding en masse to the 9/11 attack, The Regime invaded Iraq.
In addition to all of the other fallacious reasons we were given for invading Iraq, some have said that we invaded Iraq to cleverly trap, kill and/or capture the members of the organization which carried out 9/11.
Since our invasion, The Regime has used torture to gain "important information about the enemy" and has gotten permission from Congress to continue to use torture.
We invaded Iraq, drew in what The Regime claims are "Islamic radicals", captured, imprisoned and tortured them. It's quite obvious that we have not yet tortured the right person, the person who can tell us where Osama bin Laden is so that we can capture him and bring him to justice. After all, The Regime reminds us on occasion that Osama bin Laden is the enemy about whom our torture processes are supposed to help us gain information.
Those who believe in an alternate explanation of what happened on September 11, 2001 are called names, much like kids in second or third grade call one another names.
Yet, those who do the name calling seem to believe that our military and covert operations haven't been competent enough to capture Osama bin Laden by using GPS which can focus in on a dime lying on a sidewalk.
Many seem also to believe that torture is necessary in order to gain important information about the enemy who should, by all accounts, be Osama bin Laden. Yet, in three years time, torture has not netted us Osama bin Laden or his whereabouts. Have we just not tortured the right person yet, have we tortured incompetently or could it be that torture just doesn't have the results that its advocates claim it has? Could it be that torture doesn't work?
During Watergate, Deep Throat told Woodward to "follow the money". That should be done in the case of what happened on September 11, 2001 as well.
In addition, it might be advisable to follow the logic. There is no logic in what, according to the train of thought used above, we're supposed to believe. Yet, this is what the people who are too "stable" to believe "crazy conspiracy theories" choose to believe.
