I find it* highly* distasteful for Scat to smirkingly imply that the Bush
administration either engineered the 9/11 atrocities or willfully allowed
them to happen. We have a videotape of Bin Laden whooping it up
with joy that his attack was so successful and that so many died in the
Twin Towers that day; I suppose he thinks that the tape was fabricated
by the CIA or the Bavarian Illuminati. Such crepuscular crap has been
compost-level chaff from the get-go for anyone with half a cerebral
cortex.
