As Claude Levi-Strauss once said, "the wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions." These are some of my questions for antiwar people.

If you didn't believe Bush/Cheney about WMD, then why do you believe them regarding the events of 9/11?

If congress was wrong regarding WMD evidence, why do you assume they are right about 9/11 evidence?

If you don't believe the Warren Commission regarding Kennedy's assassination, what makes you think the 9/11 commission did any better?

Do you have questions you like to ask antiwar people or people in general?

Ron Paul recently made a great speech on the floor of congress. The transcript and the link to the video of his speech are here.

It's time for 9/11 truthers to recruit this man to be President. Below is a link to contact congressman Paul and tell him we would be honored to have him as a President. Maybe if he sees a groundswell of support he will consider it. If nothing else his campaign would bring to light issues that we could all support.

Popular Mechanics magazine has been debunking 9/11 myths for some time. chuckle, chuckle. For those of you that have read the articles and/or the book, what parts did they get right and why do you believe they are true?
If you've read any of my diaries then you probably have figured out that I don't rule out anything. I don't believe we've been given enough information to rule out anything and we've been given plenty of disinfo by means of phony witnesses and doctored photos/video.
I believe the only way that we get to the truth is to get people on the stand and cross examine them with the all the evidence declassified which will never happen.
I also believe it's okay if we don't get all the information because as Frank Loyd Wright famously said "the truth is more important than the facts."
Please share your thoughts and be specific.

Did Popular Mechanics ever get back to Charles Goyette about the DNA question? Where did the government get the DNA to match up to the hijackers? The best argument Davin Colburn from Popular Mechanics had was "I'll get back to you." Did Davin get back to Charles?

I found this article about a book called "United States vs. George W. Bush" and thought it would be appropriate for this venue. While it does not speak to the crimes of 9/11 it does lay out what a case against President Bush might look like if it were brought to court. It doesn't stop with Bush, it goes after Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and even Powell.
I don't actually believe any of the higher ups in the Bush administration are going to be brought to court even when 9/11 truth breaks through, but I do believe presenting a hypothetical case against Bush and his cohorts does a service.
The book is written by Elizabeth de la Vega, a former federal prosecutor and if you scroll down to the lower part of the page you will find her comments about the book.

Since 9/11 I have been forced to address the shame that I had inside me. I realized that I would have to get rid of that shame in order to be an effective citizen of change for this planet. The way that I got rid of my shame was by sharing things about myself that I was afraid to share in the past for fear of embarrassment with everyone in my life.

This approach worked, but it caused me some unexpected side effects which I wish I could take back. In light of that I would like to suggest two helpful books which should help relieve your shame without going through the trouble of sharing all of your embarrassments with others. The first book is "Feeling Good" by David Burns. I want to specifically point you to chapter 13 of this book. "Your Work Is Not Your Worth." Teaching yourself to do the "operationalization technique" will help you tremendously. If you don't want to read the whole book at least read this chapter. It could change your life.

Another book I would recommend is "A New Guide to Rational Living" by Albert Ellis. I would recommend any book by Albert Ellis, but this one is particularly effective in describing how to change your emotions by changing your thoughts.

I've been a truther for a little over two years. In my family and friendships I would say that I've gotten 10 people to admit the possibility that we've been lied to about 9/11. I don't know if any are actively promoting the truth. I don't understand why people are so reluctant to take the lead on it. I've done some other things that have hopefully turned some people onto the truth. I try to discuss it with people who seem open minded every chance I get. I've been handicapped by an event in the past year that prevents me from doing as much as I would like to do. I'm interested in others posting their stories in the comments of this diary.

My nomination is Ray McGovern and Paul Craig Roberts VP. It appears that our votes will decide the next president since there are more 9/11 truthers than those that chose the last two presidents combined. Whomever we nominate will win. Isn't that exciting?

Here is some interesting writing by Eric Alterman that asks some key questions regarding 9/11. The piece covers the new pre-9/11 revelations in Bob Woodward's book State of Denial as well as Philip Zelikow's connections to Condi Rice and George W. Bush.

I find it very inspiring and comforting to read quotes from those who have gone through great periods of struggle, so I put together some quotes in hopes that they will inspire and/or comfort others.
