Shemp, I don't know what you're hallucinating now, or maybe your mind just took a little vacation, but I've been pointing out all along that this was "old, old news," that it was widely known that there had been anomalies in the stock market before 9/11. I've posted links to articles in the mainstream media, in fact. Why you're claiming that I suggested it was "special" information, I have no idea. Obviously it's *sinister* information, and was, again, widely considered as such, including by the financial institutions that investigated it. Whether the trades were made by those who masterminded the attacks, or simply by people who knew they were going to take place, is still an open question, however, at least publicly. Which is why, of course, I said it could be the key to the whole thing.
