Hmmm. We're having public meetings now on the subject of 9/11, um, "alternative scenarios" shall we say? And in North Carolina no less?

Hmmm. Possibly more interesting is what sounds like an entirely valid (statistically speaking) survey I had not heard of before:

A nationwide poll this summer by the Ohio University Scripps Survey Research Center found more than a third of the 1,010 adults surveyed said it is "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that the U.S. government either participated in the attacks of allowed them to happen.

Sixteen percent said the destruction of the twin towers was aided by explosives hidden in the buildings. Fifty-four percent of those polled said they "are more angry" at the government than they used to be.

Scripps is a legitimate pollster, and 1000+ sample size is considered valid everyplace I've ever heard of. These numbers I find quite intriguing.

By way of disclosure I am neither a LIHOP or MIHOP adherent. I think the most that can be said is that it was a case of LIHTN--Let It Happen Through Neglect. "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Within US" ring a bell, motherfucker?

(Er, that last referring to His Fraudulency our Dear Leader, not you, esteemed reader.)
