A comments poster on a Washington Post blog writes:
The current issues in the "war on terror" seem to keep tracing back to the tragic events of 9/11/01. If one is to be objective about any construct that derives itself from that, a careful excruciatingly detailed analysis of "all aspects" of what occurred before, during and after those events that day would be performed. This would be crucial for any detailed scientific analysis to be meaningful as a sound basis for policy and action. It appears that such an analysis was never done at any respectable level, rather, it was a kneejerk reaction by what appeared to be, on the surface, unparalleled incompetence of the most powerful military intelligence complex in the world. It is obvious at this point that lack of careful analysis has resulted in a continued knee jerk reaction for the past 4+ years, costing lots of money, causing more grief and very little resolution in the "war on terror". Am I surprised? No, when incompetent people do things behind closed doors with a hidden agenda, things usually don't work out well in the long run, or certainly not "as planned". So, why is it a surprise that "those in charge" who were originally shown to be incompetent, are starting to circle the wagons as though they are protecting themselves from the same people they were hired to protect?
Response:
You might as well reopen the John Kennedy assassination investigation while you're at it. The MSM still won't seriously touch the JFK assassination with a ten-foot pole. If Americans would have "run that voodoo down" in 1963, we wouldn't be here today licking our wounds about 9/11. Instead, we've all been reduced to the ignominious status of "looney Oliver Stone conspiracy theorists," [to paraphrase New York Times columnist, News Hour contributor and Neoconservative sock puppet, David Brooks] while the global body count keeps mounting. We've all been relegated to a state of passive compliance-- hostages with a massive case of Stockholm Syndrome-- while the serial murderers and natural born killers continue unabated in their ghoulish deeds.
