It’s all been said at this point, don’t you think? Politicizing it one way or the other certainly hasn’t helped. Thousands more have died since then, and the widows and orphans still grieve while television networks, radio shows, newspapers and magazines dance their bizarre masturbatory dance.

True, there are things we still don’t know, but mostly because of the noise of conflicting political opinions swirling around. Just as an example, I’ve heard at least three explanations for why building 7 at the World Trade Center collapsed, one of which is likely to be the truth (or darned near close enough), but there’s little to no chance we’ll ever know at this point. The credibility of those who actually know has been fouled by the politics of the war on terror, and the messengers who would bring their knowledge to us (the various news agencies an academic institutions) are suspect when it comes to these issues. Too many of these people have an interest in what the public opinion is for us to truly take them seriously.

Well said… but even though everything seems to have been said, we still don’t know what the truth is…
