Hmm. I think it would be naive to assume that there isn't a LOT more going on here than what we've been told. Likewise, how can you not see that this "War on Terrorism" is a godsend for a lot of people in politics and the military? It's giving them the opportunity to dramatically expand their power and influence. I get a little magazine called "Military & Aerospace Electronics", and it's just shocking how happy people in the industry are.

I'm not saying it happened, but don't think for a second that people in power wouldn't be willing to sacrifice or redirect the lives of a couple thousand people for their own gain. There are a lot of scumbags out there, and many of them are naturally drawn to positions of power.
