Hi,

There continues to be left/right confluence around the Whitewash Conspiracy issue.

Michel Chossudovsky's Centre for Research on Globalisation website now openly promotes material from the LaRouchites along with Mike Ruppert.

They also carry material from French conspiracist Thierry Meyssan who claims no plane hit the Pentagon on 0/11.

Meanwhile, Jared Israel’s co-witten article claiming Bush planned the attacks at:

http://emperors-clothes.com/indict/indict-1.htm

includes in its list of "combat ready" aircraft based at Andrews Air Foce Base a weather forecasting unit (the 121st). Also, the article mistakes the military term "combat ready" to mean jets that can scramble at a moments notice. Combat ready actually means the unit has the people with proper trianing and equipment with proper maintenance to be sent into combat.

Despite mushrooming conspiracy articles about why aircraft were not scrambled from closer airfields on 9/11, the jets that did take off were from the routine scramble bases with interceptor aircraft -- Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod for NYC, (not McGuire AFB in NJ, etc.), and Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for Washington, DC. (not Andrews, etc.).

Sigh...
