[lbo-talk] re Fisk avoiding facts? really?

[Stephen Philion]

but as with any such event,
finding out who the perpetrators are is a no-brainer, especially for the
friends and families of the deceased --- and it is looking increasingly as
though the Bush administration knew more about the pending attacks than they
have been willing to admit and could and should have done more to stop
hem  - if this can be shown, and the behaviour of the Bush adminsitration is
increasingly suggesting that they have a lot to hide, then it might provide
the grounds for the impeachment of George Bush - fancy that?!

--oh yes, the last time we had an impeachment and resignation, in this
country, it really delivered us a lot of social change...Nixon-Ford...
---------------------------------------------------------
Clearly the 'refusal to know' shoe is on the foot of the
'anti-conspiracists' as you have amply demonstrated with your 'what does it
matter attitude'.  9-11 didn't just 'happen' as you suggest, like a natural
disaster, it was planned.

--it could have been all masterly planned ...or it could be a coincidence.
if the former, nothing significant changes in terms of implications for
making significant social change in terms of US foreign policy.
---------------------------------------
As to the rest, your understanding of the significance of Iran Contra leaves
a lot to be desired.

--hardly, almost everything we 'found out' was knowable before the 'scandal'
and what we found out changed little in terms of the knowledge needed to
evaluate the causes the US government's policies in Latin America.
