(...)
Four years after the attacks, thousands of 9/11 conspiracy theories abound...
(...) Nicholas Levis, a founder and correspondent for 911truth.org, say a distrust of the government and a failure to comprehensively address what happened and why has fostered questions.
Levis noted that a Zogby poll... showed 66 percent of those questioned want the 9/11 probe reopened. He noted that the poll also showed that 49 percent of New York City residents believe federal leaders had foreknowledge of the attacks...
Regenhard, who lost her firefighter son, Christian, on 9/11, said the failure to answer questions has allowed conspiracy theories to flourish. "There is a huge and growing number of people out there who are saying there are too many unanswered questions," she said.

Anguished Imam resigns as FDNY chaplain
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/nyc-imam01,0,... Expressing anguish that his public doubts about who was behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks "had opened wounds for people," the Fire Department's new Muslim chaplain resigned Friday, shortly before he was to be officially sworn in.
(...)
Mayor Michael Bloomberg applauded Habib's resignation.
"This is not a person who should be representing a department that was devastated on Sept. 11, answering their spiritual needs," he said.
Asked about the selection process, Bloomberg said, "If there are questions about that to be raised, you may rest assured, I will be raising them."

911Truth.org gloss on latest Newsday articles
http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=2005100102351... QUOTE:
We note simply that Habib's comments were not moral in nature. He raised doubts about the facts of the US government's 9/11 story. The issue therefore is not whether he offended anyone by answering Newsday's questions, but whether there is a factual basis to his skepticism.
Will the Fire Department ask future candidates for chaplain to first declare their views on who was really responsible for the September 11th attacks? Will belief in the official story, with all of its omissions and absurdities, become a requirement for service in government?
