Dean Cries 9-11

WASHINGTON—Setting aside Sunday's puerile attacks on Howard Dean by a desperate John Kerry and the by now embarrassing Joe Lieberman, the so-called Iowa debate briefly touched on the true bottom-line issue of the coming election: the extent of the U.S. government's foreknowledge of 9-11.

Dean's original statement questioning this possibility was ignored by the mainstream press. They have now unearthed it and cite it as yet one more example of the doctor's dangerously wacky character. The other sign of his obvious mental illness is the suggestion that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The crazy guy is citing the Constitution. That basic tenet of American democracy held for the Nuremberg trials but cannot be used for the likes of bin Laden.

Dean's mostly pathetic opponents aren't worth bothering about. But the press, which strongly influences the outcome of the election, is another matter. The members of that exclusive club, the Washington press corps, have come to the conclusion that they must intervene in the national interest to rout out a man they have decided is a wacko. They say he can't win. And if the Washington reporters say he can't win, by God, he's gotta go.

Here is what Dean said last month: "The most interesting theory that I've heard so far—which is nothing more than a theory, it can't be proved—is that he was warned ahead of time by the Saudis." Asked later about this statement, Dean replied, "I can't imagine the president of the United States doing that." But then he said that Bush should "give the information" to the 9-11 Commission. When asked why he raised the theory in the first place, Dean said, "Because there are people who believe that. We don't know what happened in 9-11."

1. WOW! Dean actually

saying what I'm saying here! I'm shocked, honestly. He's never done that before for me.

This is the part I mean- When asked why he raised the theory in the first place, Dean said, "Because there are people who believe that. We don't know what happened in 9-11."

I just said that on the Kucinich volunteer board when someone posted a reall wild conspiracy theory and got jumped on for it. My response was "Until we have the answers and get some reconciliation, people are going to speculate. We can't and won't heal from something that frightening until we know, and until then people need to discuss it. For some even having a theory is better than just nothing at all."

2. JOIN US...

When Dean came to Dallas, TX in July, in 110 degree heat to stump, my wife & I threw in with him. Anyone who has the brass balls to stump in Bush's backyard, months before other potential candidates were still waffling about Iraq, won our hearts. It was outdoors, and free. And hot.

I like Kucinich a lot. I wish Dean was saying some of the same things about shrinking the Pentagon budget, cuz God knows it needs to be done. Invading Iraq is NOT fighting terrorism, it's securing petroleum.

You're right about 9-11. The FBI has already said that they don't have a paper trail to link any of the supposed terrorists to 911.

Except of course, Atta's inflammable passport.
