"They told us the official version of what happened that day, but their story is laced with contradictions, and the facts visible on the ground at the time belie much of the official account."What contradictions do you see with the official version of 9/11? And what facts belie the official account?
Terry Arnold: The sheer mechanics of the event.
GW: Are you familiar with the term "false flag terror"? Do you believe that governments every carry out false flag terror?
Terry Arnold: I know that there is such a thing as false flag terrorism.
GW: How do you know that?
Terry Arnold: From history.
Spying
GW: Do you believe that spying on American citizens is necessary to prevent terrorist attacks on U.S. soil?
Terry Arnold: No, you can't absolutely prevent terrorism. What you need is an alert law enforcement system which is aware that there are individuals who are unhappy enough to fight back.
You have several options for dealing with terrorism. You can shoot someone if you think they are a danger. You can use the political process.
It is best to look to where the trouble spots are, and engage people in a dialogue. Negotiation doesn't always succeed. But its the place to start.
If negotiation doesn't work, you recognize that, and move on to other choices. [But at least it helps you clearly identify that you've reached an impasse].
Media
GW: How do you think the American media should approach terror issues? Do you think that the press best serves U.S. interests by "closing ranks" with the President, and backing the decisions of the Commander-in-Chief without question?
Terry Arnold: I don't think media ever serve their own purposes when they just go along with whatever groups they support. The media should deal with the threats of terror in a detached and rational manner, not just parroting what the government says they are.
The media has a problem with veracity . . .
