So what? Most terrorist attacks on US were orchestrated by FBI or secred services, who spoon-fed attackers, give them bomb and 'catched' them. Nobody cares.


Well, the FBI has a history of encouraging people to commit bad acts, giving them fake bombs and then "catching" them. I don't believe the FBI generally gives people real bombs, and it would be big news if you could prove that they did.


They did in the 1993 WTC bombing. The FBI informant initiated the plot as first using pipe bombs for synagogues. Then later it evolved and he built a real bomb under the supervision and direction of the FBI and the District Attorney. The informant wanted more money and eventually the FBI lost confidence in him and cut him loose. Approximately 6-months later the bomb exploded. Afterwards, he was rehired, paid a million dollars and used a fake bomb to catch other would-be terrorists.

The evidence of this is the hours of audiotapes he recorded which was covered in several NYTimes articles.

The odd thing is the plot started before Ramzi Yousef entered the country. And the two Iraqi brothers, where Yousef first went, and the lady associated with them, were never caught.

I don't think it was a malicious conspiracy but it was gross negligence and there is indication that the FBI wanted to catch the terrorists in the act to teach them a lesson. Even worse is that KSM is Yousef's uncle and there were several neo-con writers who cast doubt on Yousef's true identity whilst trying to link him to Iraq.


Doubt it in this case.

The Saudi's have a history with this sort of behavior.

Their islamically led ideas of expansion have been around since the 18th century and oil is their vehicle of perpetuating that meme.


Indeed, Americans have the govt they deserve.


sadly this is exactly right - the American people don't care - they pretend they do but in reality they will just do what they're told to by the media and the politicians from whichever side of the one party with two faces they pretend they're aligned with


Speak for yourself. What about the thousands of families who lost loved ones in the attacks?

The American people have strong values and big hearts. You shouldn't confuse their apathy for politics as a lack of sympathy.


where did i confuse apathy for lack of sympathy?


Generalizations like this make everyone in the country seem like lemmings. That must be the same reason why the world sends its best and brightest to America to be educated.

The second fly in your ointment is that you assume the source to be credible. If it is credible, then at some point other news companies will be forced to recognize that credibility.

But, sadly, the NY Post has a history of exaggerating the truth and bending it in ways that will inflame and influence people like yourself, making you the one who's being told by the media what to think.


The world increasingly DOESN'T send its best and brightest to America to be educated. Wealthy elites often send family members to establish themselves here for the economic benefits of a system controlling most of the worlds resources supported by the world's largest military.

There's nothing particularly controversial in this. Most of these facts have been long reported - just in isolated dribs and drabs over the course of the last decade and mostly people are disinterested in hearing it.


i agree anyone bright enough to tie ones own shoes wouldnt head to murica for an "education", japan, china, russia, germany, sweeden, australia, new zealand, all have far better higher education systems.


"Nobody cares"

They care. You can't do anything about it though.
