Hi, yeah that's a fair point which I looked into. The whole Benazir Bhutto thing is a wild goose chase, because she simply mispoke in that interview and corrected herself shortly afterwards...
Cheers, SJ

Just a question... about your post with respect to the merit of historically being a government official.
Was the American governments propaganda and gross exaggeration nullified in any way over 30 years ago... or ever...?
Was history erased or does it start to be relevant at point I am unaware of...
Agreed just because your supposed to have some integrity and ethics as a government official does not make everything you say true... Clinton, Nixon, Wilson, etc etc etc.....................
Does Clinton's history get erased after 30 years?
Can he no longer say he was noodled as The President because that would be propaganda and gross exaggeration.
If you disagree just disagree..
Thanks.

Thank you for the question and I hope I can clarify my stance. When someone is on the U.S. Government payroll, they are privvey to information that those outside of the government are (but virtually always-only within their need to know). However, once they receive their last paycheck, the information they receive is no longer valid. They simply are not on the "inside" to know what's going on. As such, this guy referenced in the post as a "Top Government Insider," specifically Steve R. Pieczenik, is not a current government employee and has not received State Department level information for over 30 years. In fact, when Dr. Pieczenik was working in the state Dept, Bin Laden was just getting to Afghanistan as a low-level resistant fighter against Russia. Since he no longer works for the State Department, his opinion on 9/11 can be as valid as yours or mine.
For example, I was in the Air Force for 25 years, but have been retired for 4 years. When I was active duty, if I were to present an opinion about an aircraft or a military deployment, you can be rest assured that it came from a much more valid source than if I were to give the same opinion 4 years after my retirement date.

That really is a great point... I am thinking further though and was wondering if once you are in the know you are always in the know to some degree via the ties you make and some you never break for whatever reason.
