Obligatory 9/11 post

There's been a lot of talk of gross government sponsored conspiracy theories surrounding the events of 9/11, and I'm still to be convinced that any government is truly that competent (why assume a massive, all-encompasing, conspiracy when there are much simpler explanations - the principle of Occam's Razor).

However, this article was sent to me by my Dad, who is rather more convinced of the sheer evil of the US government under George Bush (jnr).

I'm waiting with interest to see if the report is taken up by any more news sites than just a local California newsletter, but if taken at face value, this does seem a reasonably un-rabid, professional, and worrying report. (Not so, many of the readers' comments at the bottom of the article!)

Of course, if other media sites ignore this, it could be that they simply don't give the organisation credence, but conspiracy theorists will say that the report will be suppressed by the uber-powerful US government, and they'll tell the global media to ignore it too, and the global media will obey them... for some obscure reason. Pretty much a no-win situation there then. ;-)
