Comments on: Stats of a different nature http://freepressblog.org/blog/2005/07/06/stats-of-a-different-nature/ A collection of my thoughts and other random stuff I found interesting.

Unless evidence of that nature was uncovered, I think that such claims generally would turn off that small group of people who might actually listen with an open mind to the many very legitimate concerns with our nation's policies. Also, as you alluded to, even if it were true it probably would not be revealed at this stage; once that kind of secret has been kept hidden for this long, it's probably going to be pretty safe, since anyone that would have leaked it probably would have done so by now. After all, there has certainly been no shortage of insiders in the administration and the intelligence community stepping down and being compelled by conscience to reveal the truth that they have witnessed.

I've always been suspicous about 911, from the first moment I saw coverage of it my gut feeling was that our governement was not innocent. We'll not ever know the truth and that might be a good thing.
