1. Good debate between
the "Debunking 911" authors and the members of" Loose change".

2. I'm listening, and I'm sympathetic to LIHOP/MIHOP
but the Loose Change guys are not
coming off all that well, and I don't
think Amy is guiding the conversation
well.

My primary questions are not getting
answered.

3. Sadly, Loose Change guys are not good reps of truth movement
Amy Goodman seems to be firmly opposed to any alternative explanations of 9/11 and she chose pretty bad spokespersons for the 9/11 truth side, namely the Loose Change guys.

They seem to focus on some of the most improbable aspects of 9/11 skepticism -- like no planes at the pentagon, no plane in Pennsylvania, controlled demolition -- whereas a lot of the truth movement has moved on to the well documented intelligence and financial ties between the Bush administration and the hijackers.

I almost got the impression that they were chosen by Goodman precisely because they are not very good at getting at the real evidence of MIHOP/LIHOP.

4. Wouldn't surprise me
that its deliberate. I'm shocked she's even talking about it.

I listen to her show a lot because it airs locally in Detroit, and I think she does a great job covering certain things. But 9/11 is not one of them, imo.
