-Caveat Lector-
While this article makes some good points and asks some hard questions,
others seem to be tripe, and only weaken the whole:
> * How did the passport of one of the hijackers come to be found near - but
> not at - the crash site in New York?
I don't know what coverage the author saw, but here in NY there was paper
spread over many many square blocks. The passport was found well within the
debris field. Yeah - it's a little pat, but not because of where it was
found.........
> * How and why would Islamic extremists have perpetrated this conspiracy
> when it was beyond their skill level, beyond their financial means, and
> completely inconsistent with their usual modus operandi?
Why would it be beyond their skill level? Seems a bigoted reaction at best.
There aren't pilots? Tacticians?
..their financial means? What - there isn't wealth in the Arab world?
.. Their usual m.o.? This attack fits in their MO perfectly - to create
terror and damage and a perceptual victory over foes made to feel helpless.
Seems pretty right on - hijackings have been around for 35 years as a
terrorist tool. Planes have been used as bombs at least since WW2 , so it
really want that huge a leap -
> * Why would fanatical Muslim suicide bombers hang out in Florida drinking
> rum and renting porno movies?
Because they were men.
Because they could.
Being religious , even for fanatics of any religion, does not mean they do
not indulge in "sinful" behavior. (think jim baker and jimmy swaggart and
jesse jackson for example) It just means they hide it harder, and usually
persecute others because of their own guilty feelings.
> * Why do we again find ourselves allied with drug profiteers in one of the
> world's great opium-producing regions? Remember Laos and Vietnam. Remember
> Afghanistan and Pakistan a mere ten years ago.
Where aren't drugs produced. Where doesn�t warfare and the drug trade NOT go
hand in hand?
> * Why does the United States once again find itself fighting an enemy that
> it armed and bankrolled? Remember Adolf Hitler. Remember Ho Chi Minh.
> Remember Fidel Castro.
> * Why does the United States once again find itself fighting an enemy

> Hussein.
Easy - we keep backing dangerous assholes for short term policy, instead of
being the defenders of democracy we market ourselves as.
> * Does any of the above have to do with the value of the international drug
> trade, the international resistance to Plan Colombia, and the recent downturn
> of the American economy?
Any? Almost surely - but any is a funny word that way.
There is a difference between capitalizing on events and creating. One does
not automatically imply the other
