Again, you miss the point. The official stories have inherent credibility built in because of the institutions that publish the stories, and the checks and balances within the institutions, overseen by a competitive 2-party adversarial system. I.e., there is reason to believe that people with vested interests inside the system would be in a position to expose lies within the official investigation.

also, the same credibility itself is crippled from within by having contradictory results in the end works. I'm pretty sure i mentioned that but it certainly is worth repeating.

President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, former President Bill Clinton, and former Vice President Al Gore all gave private testimony without oaths. President Bush and Vice President Cheney insisted on testifying together, while Clinton and Gore met with the panel separately. As the National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice was not required to testify under oath because the position of NSA is an advisory role, independent of authority over a bureaucracy and does not require confirmation by the Senate.

If the truth movement is a lie then skeptics should show how the official story is the truth.
Peace
The credibility itself was NEVER crippled from within due to the contradictory results and end works. This is a false conclusion. It may have been crippled in your own mind, but not in the minds of the collective public, the media, or in the minds of the politicians in a position to further the investigation. Even if YOU believe that the results are contradictory, you are in a very tiny minority.

So this is what you see when you hold a mirror up to the truth movement. Not a very flattering sight, imo.

See, if you are going to claim that you are interested in the TRUTH, then you must no perpetuate falsehoods or even half-truths or it will make you look insincere and foolish, thereby discrediting the TRUTH movement.
Make sense?

I believe your goipng after the wrong people. Why would you want to knock sense into the people that have the most sense and are intelligent enogh to be actually doing some research and not just going by what they are told.

In other words, nobody is going to give a damn about the lack of the NIST investigations if somebody like Rosie O. yaps her mouth about it. They will discredit her as a typical left-wing kook out to discredit Bush even if her argument is valid.
