Hey, it's "capitalist Amerika". Always got to be selling something. Truthers are having fun deflecting the "official myth" of 9/11 which of course if being resold. The scheme was obviously about making buttloads of money off foreign wars and 9/11 was the actual first "shock and awe" of the campaign. But hey, "capitalist Amerika" is all about making money. :-D
