9/11 Who And Why
One of the early entries in the Notable Comments section of the Further Left Library (linked in left column) was ''There are so many unanswered questions regarding the events of 9/11 that it is currently impossible to determine exact culpability. But it is the manner in which those questions are being left unanswered and even refused answers that leads to no other conclusion than elements within the US government were not only aware of the events to unfold but were also involved in their planning and execution." I give no source because I wrote it. Now, a couple years later, my mind has not been changed.
The Internet hosts many detailed descriptions of 9/11 investigations, both those bearing mantel of 'official' and many others casting doubt on what we are supposed to believe. Most of the 'official' ones and their regurgitation by establishment pundits have focused on such questions as how the events could have been prevented, how response could have been improved, and how governments and lives will necessarily be changed. Contrarily, the points of most of the doubting investigations limited themselves to offering data in proof the 'official' explanations are based on a pack of lies.
There is one question which has very seldom been brought to the fore in all of these. It is the one which is most obvious and it deals with motive. That is "Why? There is another question which leads to answering that one. It is the standard first step for determining unclear culpability of criminal activity and is to query "Who benefits?" Now of course those questions are never asked if those pointing a finger happen to notice that three others will point back at themselves.
There is help pondering that which might aid the few believers still thinking Lee Harvey Oswald bumped off John Kennedy and all the while acted alone in doing so. A summation article in yesterday's Granma is titled Must we wait for Bush to fall?.
Its first paragraph is "Exactly what happened on September 11, 2001 in New York is still is a mystery. Investigators say that they are just waiting for the Bush administration to fall to demand the declassification of documents that would reveal the truth about what happened that day."
The article's final paragraph is "Meanwhile, the U.S. people are living in a cloud of ignorance, and a half century will have to go by before other generations find out about the secrets kept locked away in safes by the masterminds of the crime."
It is the article's in between where answers to "Who benefits?" and thus the "Why?" will be found.
