Believe me, I am ALL for questioning, and I totally think there was government knowledge of 9/11. I was just mentioning that the eyewitness reports that were shown in loose change were cut to make it sound a certain way. When I saw the full interviews, I was frustrated that loose change distorted those interviews, so I wanted to mention it. There is SO much out there to read! I think tomorrow I will write about my own theory!

Hi Sara, well I certainly didn’t mean to imply that there are two choices on what to believe happened and that’s all. I saw the specials on here as well about debunking the video, but to be honest, I didn’t find a lot of what they said very credible–especially knowing that the people presenting that also have a fairly clear political agenda.

In general, though, most every documentary maker/writer/etc. “distorts” facts–or, speaking as a lawyer, chooses those most beneficial to his/her argument. I personally take everything I read/watch with a grain of salt, and truth be told, I read much more than I watch, although the same biases are always there.

Like I said, I’m not advocating one version of the truth or the other–just the fact that the truth must come out, and I don’t feel that it’s in the 9/11 Commission Report, not in its entirety anyway.

Thanks for your comment

Hi! I have seen loose change - and I also watched a show here in Italy that talks about the facts shown in loose change. A lot of the interviews that they feature in loose change are edited or only shown in a small tid-bit of a longer interview. When you see the longer interviews of the witnesses from the pentagon, they do not in fact support the loose change theory, but the *more factual* version. I was annoyed that they distorted their research/facts.

So, I do question much of the movie, as well as MOST of the *factual version*. I have my own theory that I plan on writing about soon. But, do some research, and don’t rely only on loose change - they distort the facts in their movie.

However, I do believe we were not told the truth! (i am anti-bush, and believe something is not right about that day, so don’t think I am trying to put down loose change because I am a Bush supporter. That is not the case! haha)

Hi Vic, thanks so much for your nice words and visit

Bonggamom, that’s really the thing that bothers me the most about all this–the fact that the media and government portray anyone who dares question the official version (when even members of the Commission say there are errors/omissions) as a nut job.

Scarlett, hope you enjoy it, and thanks

Maryann, I’m happy to hear your sons are safe; thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Lulu, I know what you mean about the reading list being a mile long. All in due time….

Sparky, the great thing about reviewing with Mother Talk is that you don’t have to be a mom–or even a woman!

As for the second part, you’re showing yourself to *not* be much of a crazy conspiracy theorist, I’m afraid

Karen, I hope you enjoy the book and trips to Italy–especially when you head down my way. Be sure to let me know when you’re coming!
