Well, it gives me a chance to post kind of a mild cheesecake picture--I saw this interview with Korey Rowe over at Cursor and ended up reading the Vanity Fair article.
Short version: Rowe (an Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran), with two friends, Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas, put together a low budget ($6,000) documentary--Loose Change--questioning the official investigations of the 9/11 attacks. You can view it here, at Google Video, and apparently elsewhere.
Personally, I'm more inclined towards Gore Vidal's position re: 9/11--Team Bush is too stupid, too incompetent, and composed of too many stumblebums to pull something off like that. Witnesss the twin towers of quagmire Iraq and Afghanistan, and their, pardon the expression, essentially retarded response to 8/29 (and, if you need further proof, here's a short article about preznit Butt-Head in all his glory). That said, the "investigations" were less that and more a nice coat of whitewash over an embarrassing and deadly failure on the part of this administration--a failure that resulted in horrific tragedy.
It's funny, in a sick sort of way, to watch this gang of assclowns talk about "pre 9/11" thinking, because as far as I can tell, THEY were the ones asleep at the wheel, blissfully ignoring ever more ominous warnings of something coming down the pipe, until it was too late.
Kind of like what they did when Hurricane Katrina approached.
