On September 11, bereaved family members will mark the 10th anniversary of the cataclysmic terrorist attacks on American cities. They will gather around the pools of remembrance at the newly opened memorial, where the names of the 2,982 known victims who died on the day and in the earlier bombing of 1993 are engraved on parapets of bronze. President Obama and his predecessor, George W Bush will be on hand.
Two official inquiries have investigated the who, the how, and the why of 9/11. A decade on, however, many questions remain. Osama bin Laden and his terrorist cohort plotted and executed the operation, but did they act alone? Only days after the onslaught, President Bush's defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, said the terrorists "live and work and function and are fostered and encouraged, if not just tolerated, by a series of countries… I know a lot… It's a sensitive matter."
In the months that followed, President Bush and Vice President Cheney – especially Cheney – insinuated publicly that Iraq had been involved in 9/11. Polls showed that by 2003, when the US invaded Iraq, millions of Americans had come to believe that was the case. The US 9/11 Commission, however, would conclude that Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks.
Rumsfeld's other suspects after 9/11 had included Libya, Sudan and Iran, all countries associated with terrorism. No evidence was to emerge pointing to Libya or Sudan, though bin Laden was long based in Khartoum. Iran is another story.
The Iran connection is spelled out in a document filed by American attorneys working on a civil action known as the Havlish case. Fiona Havlish is the widow of an insurance consultant working for AON, the reinsurance giant, who died on 9/11 at the World Trade Center. She and six other bereaved relatives – including the widow of one of the airliners' pilots – joined Iran to a suit brought against bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

A more accurate thread title would be;
9/11: Al-Qaeda didn't act at all.
Al queda was a scapegaot, patsy, dupe and fallguy for the plots and schemes
of the real perpetrators. All media are now complicit and this article is solely about
perpetuating the myth that 9/11 was anything but the Huge Hoax that it really was.

A more appropriate title would be anything else, however, that was the title of the article and i posted it in 9/11 forum but followed breaking news rules.
However your point is stupid. Obviously not ALL media is complicit or you wouldnt read about it on here, let alone anywhere else. I think I uderstand your sentiment, but gently does it old bean. Gently does it, othrwise it sounds like vitriol!!

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Can you please tell me how the media is controlled? It is comprised of literally hundreds of thousands of people, including thousands in editorial positions, there is no restraint on starting a newspaper or magazine of any political bent, so how does anyone manage to control the "media"?
