There's the rub, right? We are talking about perhaps the highest impact single transgression against our country and, initially, no investigation was called for. Then we get the 9/11 commission, initially headed by Kissinger and ultimately being soundly trounced even by many who would never think to entertain conspiracy theories.
I am thinking that we should just start a thread about the commission report. And I do have a ulterior motive there in addition to proving my point about the investigation being a sham: I want people to read it and be educated about it.

I don't focus on that. I have talked about it ITT but there is a huge scope to the event, and posting about something does not mean it's an inordinate focus. I even have stated wherever the investigation should have led, it wouldn't likely mean much. But it is important as an example of the nature of the "investigation" into 9/11.

This is a hugely important point which I understand and believe. Furthermore I don't think many people appreciate this (me feeling special again obv). This doesn't however, obviate the need for a rigorous and transparent investigation. Do you understand that?

To "spice up my life" lol I actually get involved with more current issues, some of which are related to the aftermath of 9/11 but hey, you can't go back and change history. Again, it doesn't make me feel important to belong to a large cohort of skeptics. If you count the conspiracy theorists among the skeptics, we form a majority. Why would I feel special being in a majority?
