Yahoo news: Experts Claim Official 9/11 Story is a Hoax

[Bluebear]

Duluth, MN January 30, 2006 -- A group of distinguished experts and scholars, including Robert M. Bowman, James H. Fetzer, Wayne Madsen, John McMurtry, Morgan Reynolds, and Andreas von Buelow, have concluded that senior government officials have covered up crucial facts about what really happened on 9/11.

They have joined with others in common cause as members of "Scholars for 9/11 Truth" (S9/11T), because they are convinced, based on their own research, that the administration has been deceiving the nation about critical events in New York and Washington, D.C.

These experts suggest these events may have been orchestrated by elements within the administration to manipulate Americans into supporting policies at home and abroad they would never have condoned absent "another Pearl Harbor."

They believe that this White House is incapable of investigating itself and hope the possibility that Congress might hold an unaccountable administration accountable is not merely naive or wishful thinking....

1. Where have these so called experts been? MARS?

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Immediate dismissal as a "Conspiracy Theory" follows

Then comes the "Tinfoil Hat" jokes, the "Bwa-Ha" subject lines, and the sarcastic emoticons.

Theories I don't have much belief in. On the other hand, there's no such thing as a bad question.

5. actually this has not been "picked up"

It is a "prweb" posting. It works like this: you write a press release and publish it on prweb. Yahoo - among others - publishes everything coming in over said wire, even wacko press releases. This does not equate getting picked up by an editor.

6. wish people would rate it up

8. your subject line is misleading

'Experts claim' implies consensus. This is not consensus. It is a bunch of guys at the University of Minnesota, and the article doesn't tell us what qualifies them to be 'experts', nor does it tell us what they're 'experts' in.
