"Long Live The 9/11 Conspiracy! Anyone still care about the heap of disturbing, unsolved questions surrounding Our Great Tragedy?"

...See, it is very likely that you already know that Sept. 11 will go down in the conspiracy history books as a far more sinister affair than, say, the murky swirl of the Kennedy assassination. You probably already know that much of what exactly happened on Sept. 11 remains deeply unsettling and largely unsolved -- or to put another way, if you don't know all of this and if you fully and blithely accept the official Sept. 11 story, well, you haven't been paying close enough attention.

But on this, the third anniversary of the launch of Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq by way of whoring the tragedy of Sept. 11 for his cronies' appalling gain, what you might not know, what gets so easily forgotten in the mists of time and via the endless repetition of the orthodox Sept. 11 tale, is the sheer volume, the staggering array of unanswered questions about just about every single aspect of Sept. 11 -- the planes, the WTC towers, the Pentagon, the fires, the passengers and the cell phone calls and the firefighters and, well, just about everything. It is, when you look closely, all merely a matter of how far down the rabbit hole you are willing to go.

Verily, Jacobson, in his New York mag piece, encounters crackpots and fringe nutballs and those who think Sept. 11 was connected to aliens and electromagnetic fields and the Illuminati. It can, unfortunately, get a little crazy. But there is also a very smart, grounded, intelligent and surprisingly large faction -- which includes eyewitnesses, Sept. 11 widows, former generals, pilots, professors, engineers, WTC maintenance workers and many, many more -- who point to a rather shocking pile of evidence that says there is simply no way 19 fanatics with box cutters sent by some bearded lunatic in a cave could have pulled off the most perfectly orchestrated air attack of the century. Not without serious help, anyway.

Moussaoui Had No 9/11 Role, Terrorists Said
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 28 — Zacarias Moussaoui's lawyers used the accounts of known terrorists today to try to deflate their client's boastful claim that he had a major role in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and portray him instead as an ineffective, almost comic bungler.

Nearing the end of their attempt to persuade a federal jury to spare his life, Mr. Moussaoui's team tried to show that he was a fringe player, in part because more serious, effective terrorists thought him erratic, undisciplined and perhaps a bit unhinged.

"He had dreams about flying a plane into the White House," a South Asian terrorist known as Hambali told United States interrogators after his capture in August 2003. But his dreams were never going to become reality because Mr. Moussaoui was known to be "not right in the head and having a bad character," Hambali said.
