I'm sure you've all seen the t-shirts, CD covers, banners, etc. circulating through the muslim world showing the WTC towers burning and collapsing.

So, they didn't think of this for the 24 hours or more that every single channel on the planet was airing the second plane crash into WTC 2 over and over and over and over again?
Another weak excuse if you ask me.

Furthermore, if we really had respect for the dead, then why did every news station and magazine show images of US citizens falling to their death from the WTC, showing the footage every 5 minutes and printing the photos in hundreds of thousands of editions of newspapers and magazines for all to see? Why was footage of the two planes crashing into the WTC played constantly? What the difference between showing those passengers dying? Nobody was too concerned about respect for the dead then, so why now? Why is it OK to watch the planes hit the WTC but not the Pentagon?

Showing the videos would only strengthen the American resolve against terrorism.

You have obviously decided that the governement was responsible and you proceed from that premise.
The damage was done. All that video was out, They couldn't "un" broadcast it.
The govt has sequestered it's own video and photographic eveidence, and some of the surveillence video from surrounding properties that had not already been seen by the public.
One more thing Griff - Im not making excuses for anybody, I'm offering theories for discussion.

You obviously beleive the official story even though lots of reports and evidnece question it.
We have lots of evindece that the government had plenty of warnings from domestic and foreign intell agencies but did nothign to stop the attacks.
We have lots of reports that neither the planes or fires casued the towers to collapse. Also no plane hit Building 7.
We have no photos or videos (released) that show Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon. We also have no official rpeorts matching parts found to any of the 9/11 planes.

There are many unanswered questions and suspicious findings, but there is also a great deal of hard evidence of an airplane crash.
Yes, alot of reports and theories question it, some are even compelling, but IMO none disprove it.
1) Who is "we"
2) What do you suggest "we" could have done to stop the attacks?
3) correct me if I'm wrong, but you have made many many post suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job.
True. But this doesn't prove that AA77 didnt crash at the Pentagon.

1. Anyone doing research can find the information on the warnings.
2. The government should have raised the security level, which would have stopped the hijackers that were flagged at the airport.
3. I never stated that 9/1 was an inside job.

You might want to do more research about what the walls were made of and how thick they were. Oh and do not forget the bomb proof windows and Kevlar lining.
Also that the a 757's nose is made of composite so it would have been destroyed and not made it through the wall, most of the rest of the plane is made of thin aluminum.
Wall of the Pentagon structure.
Well a few things.
1. The altitude and speed the pilots were flying at would have probably destroyed the engines in a short time.
2. The jet blast from the plane at the Pentagon would have blasted people and cars.
Well thats why i am doing research. But its hard when the agencies involved do not want to release information.
As far as flight 77 the FAA registration record shows it being destroyed but not how, when or where.
If the governemt is not behind something or covering something why wont they simply release all the information?

You state that there were plenty of warning signs before 9/11 and they should have been acted upon. This indicates you believe there was a terrorist attack on 9/11.
But in all of the posts listed below you make it clear that you don't believe an airplane crashed at the pentagon which CLEARY means there was no terrorist attack and that the damage that occured at the Pentagon on 9/11 was caused by planted explosives or some kind of projectile other than an airplane which rules out Al Queda or any other Islamist terror group.
You obviously don't believe the official story, and you obviously don't believe AA77 crashed at the Pentagon...so how the hell do your statements about warning signs of an impending terrorist attack have any relevance to your theories/beliefs regarding an iside job.
To most folks, no airplane = inside job.

Well to any person with basic intelligence and common sense, no airplane simply means no prove of an airplane not an inside job.

I mean how else in a projected war would the Pentagon be attacked??
C'mon, if the enemy is close enough to pose for photos outside the Pentagon the war is long over. It sounds like you expect a heroic last stand to be made Alamo style from the Pentagon walls and although it might be nice to have glossy prints of an incoming hellfire type missile I fail to see the point - radar works much better for the function a lot of people seem to expect the cameras to be serving.
You might, one day, have to accept that an enemy attacked you from within your own borders using your own everyday machines as weapons.
