So Bin Laden's version is the "truth" and a Japanese politician who doesnt even understand puts and calls is credibile but our govt is corrupt? The reason that David Frost didnt respond to Bhutto's assertions that Bin Laden was murdered wasnt some vast western coverup but engaging her on it reduces her credibility and makes her look like a fool. Kind of like you.

If you bothered to read IDs assessment of bin Laden, it was correct.
PNAC was created by our government before 9/11. In the document, states the need to secure valuable resources from the Middle East. You can find that document anywhere and read it. That is a factual document on our foreign policy. You can find it on Wikipedia, within the archives of our government...anywhere. It is just laid out in an easier format to read on Wikipedia, which I thought would be best.
Also, quit saying false statements just because they fit your argument. A single Japanese politician did not say those things about 9/11. Just about every member within that Parliament agreed with him that they needed to carry out an investigation starting from the beginning because there were too many holes. He just led the attack.
Nowhere did I say the Jap's version was the truth either. I just said that some of their accusations are a possibility. I threw the notions out there as a test to see how open-minded the people on this board were...well, I got my answer. I would be a lot happier if these accusations were proven to be false, despite you saying that I see what I want to see.
I am a scientist. I am a realist. Fantasy worlds are for the weak. As a scientist, I must be very open-minded. I look at problems from every possible angle with an unbiased perspective. If you choose to not acknowledge these things and ignore them, then continue to live in your fantasy world that they NEVER could have occurred. Continue to believe that the U.S. couldn't possibly torture people despite Canada putting us on their torture list, and despite the White House destroying tapes of interrogations against the Supreme Court's wishes. Continue to believe that our government couldn't possibly be negligent with 9/11. I will not, because a possibilty exists to the contrary. I will reserve judgment until the proper investigations are performed, but I will not sit there and stupidly think that it never could have happened.
It is the opposite. You see what you want to see.
And just for the record, I am very conservative and go to one of the top ranked universities in the world. The average entering freshman GPA is a 4.33.
