re: #6 Destro

Have you forgotten whether you were talking to me or researchok? … Okay, I’ll bite.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I’m a conspiracy analyst.

And intelligent design is not biblical creationism. Ugh! This is a lame spin.

They could never have pulled off 9/11, even if they wanted to. Even if they longed to. They could step aside, though, or just go out to lunch while these terrible things were happening to the nation. I believe that of them

So he’s not a “government made it happen” troofer, just a “government let it happen” troofer. Therefore, not a conspiracy theorist. Yeah, wtf-ever.

Your attempts to spin Vidal as taken out of context are hilarious. Gore Vidal was indeed espousing a conspiracy theory, while whining about how the word “conspiracy” kept anyone from taking him seriously.

You might as well have said “Gore Vidal wasn’t speeding! Thats just a third-party’s crappy interpretation. Vidal said he was running late.”

While the article did point out that the government mishandled evidence (what’s new?) and Mcveigh had some help in planning the bombing, (though the exact extent of which is unclear) that hardly proves the more outlandish claims that Mcveigh wasn’t central to the plot or that the feds actually had a hand in making it happen in order to scare us and ramrod anti-terrorism legislation into the books.

What evidence Vidal presented all fell in the categories of “evidence mishandled” and “leads not followed worth a damn.” In other words, proof of government stupidity was passed off as proof of government malice.

Considering the length of the article, this was quite a disappointment. And you couldn’t just quote the relevant parts Destro. You made me wade through rants about Waco and Opus Dei that led nowhere.

And don’t bother about the suspect who was presumably an informant because he wasn’t prosecuted. I really need something more than “its true because I can’t prove it.” I mean, after harping on and on about mishandled evidence and leads not followed, conjecture is suddenly proof enough? Double-standards don’t impress me.

BTW, I’m still waiting to hear a response on the antisemitism accusation. Its strange to still not to hear so much as a peep on that.
