are you sure you didn't mean some 'fanatically religious hypocrites' or something, since we know (from mainstream media sources) that Atta and company were known to frequent titty bars in Florida?
Actually Doug, my point is, we do not really know what happened on and leading up to 9-11. We do know that the Bush administration has been dissembling at best. and we know that much of the 'official truth' is b.s. To the extent that 9-11 has provided a blank check to the USG to unleash perpetual war at home and abraod surely we can do better than the fairy tale version of history you presented below in terms of our understanding of what happened?
?que no?
