87. Some of you who are getting apopleptic about this piece
might want to read the first paragraph:

"In the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks the then national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, called in her senior staff and asked them to think seriously about "how capitalise on these opportunities". The primary opportunity came from a public united in anger, grief and fear which the Bush administration sought to leverage to maximum political effect."

That is why your snide hand-wringing is sadly misplaced. The BFEE did not view it as a tragic occurrence, they viewed it as the perfect opportunity for wars, redistribution of the treasury to the MIC and political manipulation. Until you realize that, you are blowing smoke from your fundaments. Virtually every M$M perception and presentation of 9/11 is made in perfect accord with the BFEE's desires.
