Are we dividing and destroying the 9-11 movement?

Or are we cleaning our house of trash?

Dividing or Cleaning?
...
Insults are bad;
exposing crime is good

It is true that when members of a group fight among themselves, they become less effective.

However, is also true that a group must clean itself of incompetent leaders and criminals.

Therefore, we need to distinguish between the disruptive fighting that can weaken a group, and the beneficial fighting that cleanses an organization of its incompetence and criminal activity.

If the fighting involves nothing more than insults, it is usually disruptive. Insults are sometimes useful, however, because they can act like a slap in the face to force a person to look at an issue differently.

If the fighting involves serious analyses of behavior, by comparison, it is usually helpful because it can identify the incompetent or corrupt leaders. Not surprisingly, crummy leaders will try to suppress analyses of themselves.

I don't worry about disrupting the 9/11 movement because I don't see any 9-11 movement. Instead, I see two categories of 9-11 activists:

1) Individual citizens who work on their own
...
I refer to these people as an invisible army because most of them are ordinary citizens, and we will never know their names. Most of them may affect only a few other people, but there are thousands of them, and they are scattered around the world. They are having a significant effect.

2) Organizations

Example are 911truth.org, MoveOn.org, and Veterans for Peace. The members of these groups work together under the guidance of leaders.

Conclusion

When I complain about the leadership in the 9-11 movement, the peace movement, the labor unions, the school system, the corporations, and our government, I hear endless excuses.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats have dozens of excuses for their crummy leaders; the members of the MoveOn organization have excuses for their incompetent leadership; and the members of the Veterans For Peace have excuses for their crummy leadership.
...
We are not dividing the nation when we stand up to our leaders. Rather, we are cleaning our house of incompetence and corruption. We are exposing the crummy leaders and criminals.
