AIPAC Takes a Few Hard Hits

American Chronicle
September 4, 2006

I've become addicted to reading the articles William Hughes writes for the American Chronicle. Mr. Hughes provides sources as footnotes to each of his columns so his writings become a starting point for further reading, which I appreciate. In his most recent column, he makes the point that the 911 Commission's explanation of what happened on September 11, 2006 is only THEIR conspiracy theory to explain what happened:

I was deeply impressed by the presentation of both professors. In a word, they were-brilliant! Professor Walt repeatedly underscored that 'without 9/11, you don’t get a war with Iraq.' It then jumped out at me at a gut level: 9/11 had to be 'an inside job!' I agree with the skeptics who assert: "The wildest 9/11 conspiracy theory is actually the one endorsed by the Kean Commission, ‘that 19 fanatical Arabs, directed from a cave in Afghanistan, caught the whole of the U.S. military intelligence, the whole of U.S. political and diplomatic establishments, and NORAD completely off guard.’'

I've also never found credible the government's explanation for the highly suspicious antics of those 'five dancing Israelis' arrested over in New Jersey on the morning of the WTC inferno. Also, I think that the response of the Israeli Hard Rightist, ex-P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu, on the morning of 9/11, somehow fits into this puzzle. He reportedly said about the attack: 'It's very good...Well, it's not good, but it will generate sympathy (for Israel).'
