What I do find astonishing is that several web sites that have posted that President Bush was directly involved in the 9/11 attacks would post this article on their sites, CIA told of al-Qaeda hijack plot before 9/11. This article reports, “FRENCH intelligence services warned their US counterparts, eight months before the attacks of September 11, 2001, that al-Qaeda was planning to hijack a US-bound plane, a media report said today.” It goes onto say, “Le Monde said the document, titled "Aircaft hijack plan by radical Islamists," was part of 328 pages of a DGSE file on al-Qaeda leaked to the paper which it said was practically the entirety of the French intelligence services' dossier on the network.” Do these sites believe the conspiracy or the ignoring of terrorist threats?  That is where critical thinking comes into play.

Now we get to the juicy part.  In an email to someone, I wrote, “I have read so many files concerning 9/11 stating that it was planned by the government as well as those that debunk them.  I stand by my original column.  As you will see, those that have taken time to respond disbelieve me.  That is their right to as guaranteed under the first amendment.  This is perhaps the best site that debunks various articles written on 9/11 called, Debunking the 9/11 Myths As you will hear in that pod-cast, often those who write of these theories will quote someone who has written of it without going back to the original source.  In a court of law, that is called hear say which is often not entered as evidence.

Wait, it gets even better, for sometime, I have been in contact with Controlled Demolitions Incorporated and my source at that company has often said what comments they do give out are often misconstrued.  In fact my source said that their words are “often twisted by theorists”.  She went onto say, “they have had to resort to saying, “no comment”
