This is the letter I just posted on Salon in response to Farhad Manjoo's article "The 9/11 Deniers" which attempts to throw cold water on "Loose Change" and other 9/11 truth investigators:

http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2006/06/2...

How sad to see Salon embrace the narrow-minded, see-nothing, do-nothing "War on Truth" mentality that has paralyzed our country in the past six years.

Manjoo, as hit man on both election fraud and 9/11, has attempted to deep-six the burgeoning truth movement on the two issues that are the twin pillars of the Bush Adminstration's foundation.

Without 9/11, Bush would have been run out of Washington perhaps before 2004. Without election fraud, he would never have taken office or been re-selected. Imagine what W's approval rating, already near freezing, would be if the truth were to come out on these two subjects.

You don't have to believe in Satanism, holograms, or missiles to know that the 9/11 official conspiracy theory as buttressed by the official 9/11 insider commission is utter bunk. There's so much evidence that provides strength to the hypothesis that this was an inside job. Bushco had the means, the motive (lots of motives!), and the unique opportunity to pull this off.

The very fact that it's unbelieveable that our government would do something like this keeps otherwise rational and intelligent people from considering the possibility of government involvement.

It isn't any fun to accept this truth and it requires a whole new way of looking at the world, a way that's unfortunately much more cynical and depressing than any of us would prefer.

Nonetheless, there is currency in truth and I, like millions of others, will continue to seek it out and eventually, we will find it.

What I won't do any longer look for that truth on Salon.
