just look away.

Yes Bush & co failed to protect USA from bin Laden. So did the intelligence community to a certain extent. But those families fought long and hard to get a bipartisan investigation and report and got it (even though Bush & co tried to stop it and Bush tried to not "testify").

Yes it was terrible. But pretending that a whole other bunch of events took place (was a set up by Bush & pals) when there is no evidence of this is not only harmful to the families (who are grieving and whose kids will be grieving their whole lives - unlike you), it is cruel.

So yes we need to dig out every piece of evidence to make sure Rice is in fact telling the truth & so we know that she made a bad National Security Advisor. Yes dig - but you have no right to make stuff up.

And for the sake of those kids you are grieving ... we need to stop it with "conspiracy theories". Because you may have the luxury of bathing in one 'idea' after the next concerning the events of 9/11 but the actual serious victims do not. Their struggle is to move on and accept and try and see something other than the horror of those weeks. The families of 9/11 are the ones who actually do not have the lite & sprite ability to ‘look away’. You publish and stir the pot on this issue … and they will have to take it in (because at this point everything 9/11 is in their bones).

If you are truly outraged at 9/11 than volunteer in your community, or build a garden or help out monitoring an election. There are so many things you could do that do not involve inhaling the fumes of 9/11.

That Bush lied to cover up his immaturity caught on camera that day is no big flag. Politicians lie all the time.
