People in general
would prefer to think in terms of black and white, because no one would
rationally want to consider that their government is anything but
universally a force of good.
No matter which way you cut it, it's hard to deal with complexities. And you can't sum that up in a slogan or a soundbite.
Of course, all these words are meaningless unless it can be proved that
a critical view of the official story is a credible and principled
position to take. And to demonstrate this, this author would point you
to one compilation of news stories.
Although widely under-reported by even 9/11 justice advocates, the mainstream media itself has verified and reported on enough contradictory news stories to justify the movement's basic call for a new investigation.*1
Taken together, this 25 page timeline of 9/11 may be one of the best, highly nuanced, full accounts of this story that has been compiled so far. And all of it has been sourced by mainstream news outlets.
The fact that this information has actually been reported on by established, credible news organizations with rigorous fact-checking departments may come as a shock to many. After all, we're led to believe that all the good, honest reporting on the subject unanimously supports the clear-cut 9/11 commission's findings, and that anything critical of this story was put together by amateur alternative media which can easily be debunked. But of course, such stereotypes are false as well.
This is one of the more incredible stories behind the story of how the media has reported on 9/11. The mainstream media has, in the course of hundreds of news stories, written a powerful "unofficial" history of 9/11. It is exactly the story that must be told, and it is anything but black or white.
In fact, it severely undercuts the official story. Some might say it completely "destroys it." But you cannot sum it up with any slogan or simple conclusion. To say "9/11 was an inside job" is as much a disservice to the truth as saying "they hate us for our freedoms." To get the full truth, so much as we know it today, you simply have to read it yourself.
*1 -- It's also worth noting that "the movement" is not the only direction this demand is coming from. Dozens of high-ranking government officials,
many even personally involved in the 9/11 Commission, are calling for a
new investigation - making this legitimate, high-profile story one of
the most under-reported and ignored news stories in recent memory.
