We only got the quotes from you not a comment. I am interested in what you think about my idea of the non mutually exclusive relationship between the 2 though.

"Our purpose was to document the event"
The purpose of every person who was out there that day photographing or video-taping the events of 9/11--whether professional or amateur--was to "document the event". So what?
I think his meaning was that they arrived early with intentions to document the event based on previous knowledge that the event would occur. Semantics.
That may be his meaning, but I've yet to see any evidence supporting it.
And I doubt that we ever will either. Although i don't think it is that big of a stretch of imagination to believe that is the case. We don't necessarily need to believe any of the other theories involved in the subject in order to believe this statement. For instance we know for a fact that the US government/Intelligence agencies knew about the attack before hand. Therefore it is not illogical to assume that other countries intelligence agencies new about the attack as well.
Based on that alone even if every part of 911 is exactly how the government represents it having the 5 guys there charged with the task of of documenting the event does not mean there is any conspiracy other than whether or not the intelligence agencies were doing there job adequately. Or in other words this idea and any conspiracy theories are not mutually exclusive.
Know what I am saying?
The thing is that no one ever said they saw those guys out there BEFORE the first plane hit. The report of one eye witness who saw them became distorted and embellished.
The actual statement made by one of the five on a national Israeli TV show ("Our purpose was to document the event") is one that is 1) taken out of context--these people who propagate the notion that the statement is incriminating never replay the full interview from that TV show, they just show that one statement from one of the five. 2) The statement itself, ""our purpose was to document the event", is of words chosen by a translator and may not be so easily misinterpreted in Hebrew.
Do you really think these guys went on national TV and admitted they had foreknowledge of the WTC attacks and had filmed the whole thing? Or is it more likely that when asked why they were out there filming, they said, our reason (or our purpose) for being there filming was to document the event--the same as everyone else who was out filming that day. They NEVER stated they had foreknowledge or that they had begun filming prior to the first plane hitting.
Why propagate such notions without any factual basis? Without ANY evidence? How does that help in the pursuit of truth?edit on 4-6-2012 by lunarasparagus because: (no reason given)

The percentages of Jews killed at WTC are usually estimated at 10 - 15% of the casualties
This reflects only the building occupants (2071), not the first responders (FDNY, NYPD, EMS, PORT
AUTHORITY PD) who diewd there or the people onn the 2 ailiners (American 11, United 175) which struck the buildings
According to an article in the October 11, 2001, Wall Street Journal, roughly 1,700 people had listed the religion of a person missing in the WTC attacks; approximately 10% were Jewish.
A later article, in the September 5, 2002, Jewish Week, states, "based on the list of names, biographical information compiled by The New York Times, and information from records at the Medical Examiner's Office, there were at least 400 victims either confirmed or strongly believed to be Jewish."
This would be approximately 15% of the total victims of the WTC attacks.
This 10-15% estimate of Jewish fatalities tracks closely with the percentage of Jews living in the New York area.""
