9/11 Conspiricy Nuts - was Re: [Peace-discuss] Today at the Links

[Morton K. Brussel]

Cockburn seems as obsessed with conspiracy advocates—if that's what  
they are—as (he claims the) conspiracists(?) are obsessed with 9/11.  
Too frequently, he sounds off balance, as in the Counterpunch article.

I don't believe that 9/11 was a grand conspiracy (by Americans), but  
yet I don't believe everything the government revealed (or not)  
pertaining to that event. There should have been a better  
investigation, answering more questions, but the commission did not  
want to overly embarrass or criticize the administration.

Finally, conspiracies do happen, and people who are suspicious in  
this age and nation about what is going on should be respected. What  
is especially irritating  (to me) about Cockburn, whose articles I  
often respect,  is his arrogant sense of righteousness. His comments  
about lack of anti-war activity are dismissible and distasteful. What  
did he want the anti-war folks to do, take up arms, storm the  
Bastille/Pentagon? Would he lead the charge?
