It has nothing to do with any coordinated effort to put out disinformation and everythign to do with humans being capable of makign mistakes under pressure...but what I object to are the conspiracy theorists using these incorrect reports to base their accusations on even though they've been retracted...especially when they conceal from us that it's been retracted. The "flight 93 landed in Ohio" stunt that Dylan Avery pulled in Loose Change is a sterling case in point.
THE DELETED REPORTS
FROM THE HISTORIOGRAPHY
OF 9/11
By Christopher Bollyn
As any journalist or historian knows, when a major catastrophe occurs it is extremely important to monitor the first news reports because they often describe a very different version of events than those produced after government spin doctors have gotten their fingers in the story. The earliest reports, which are often more candid and honest than those that follow, need to be preserved for history.
The complete journalistic record and the eyewitness testimony of the events of 9/11 form a body of historical writing, known as the "historiography," of the terror attacks that have changed the course of American history. To remove or delete articles or reports from this body is a crime against history.
There are, however, at least two very important stories from September 11, 2001, which have been effectively deleted from the historiography of 9/11.
The two stories, one from Cleveland and one from Albuquerque, are essential to understanding what happened on that awful day, but both have been excised from the publicly accessible body of historical writing about 9/11.
FLIGHT 93 LANDED IN CLEVELAND ......

Debunkers are always saying that it was not intentional failure to share intelligence but it was simply the policy that they were following.
So now it turns out that the debunkers are wrong, it was not the policy. So now I'm saying you don't have an excuse for them anymore........... Seriously I am done with you . Have a good day!

You seem awfully focused on trying to prove the 'debunkers are wrong' rather than anything else. Perhaps you should focus on researching the issues of 911 you seem confused about. Nobody cares who's right or wrong here, just what can be supported by the facts. You've not supported 'someone intentionally helped the terrorists' or similar.

You just contradicted yourself. You'e claiming they "lied about 95%" of what happened and then turn around and say terrorosts were probably involved. The other 95% is what confirms it was a terrorist attack, from the trail linking Atta from Al Qaida to taking flight instruction to boarding to the plane being hijacked. Plus,

I'm thinking you need to update your information. The FBI traced the anthrax strain to a mentally disturbed lab technician who committed suicide when he found out he was going to be arrested.
I'm thinking you're only hearing what you want to hear. Emad Salem specifically said he tried to warn the FBI abou the plot and hsi handlers were even goign to supply them with a fake bomb, but their own supervisors were idiot who didn't take the threat seriously. SO how does that show my point twrong when I say the attack succeeded becuase of human failure?
Not when you say ominous things like "I started researching 9/11"? Whre do you go to for your nformation, precisely?

You haven't proved that at all.

Oh man. Another person who just makes stuff up.
Just what the Truth Movement needs.

How dare you. You believe yourself to have the moral authority to declare who is part of the problem, yet your total contribution to the truth movement so far has been to make wild accusations and fail to back them up substantively. To claim you have no dog in the race then start a vendetta against 'debunkers'.
Clearly the problem here is that the world does not fit your fantasies, and you're angry at those who are pointing it out.

It's up to you now to prove that there is a good reason for not holding them accountable for not telling eachother what they knew about the hijackers.
As far as everything else in your reply .... I think you now understand what I'm talking about so I don't care if you think that I changed my position as long as you know what my position is. And it's that there should be accountability for failure to share information which would have prevented the attacks.

It's quite obvious that people who claim to be debunkers here are part of the problem.
It's no vendetta at all, people are just stating the obvious. It's been noticed by a lot of members from what I can read. It seems that the debunkers are hellbent of presenting the OS as the only possible explanation for 9/11.
If the OS stands up, then why are there so many people all over the world questioning it? If anyone is party to supporting the OS in an act to cover up the possibility of an inside job then those people are part of the problem for sure. People are entitled to their opinions.

What problem? You're destroying your own point here by trying to scapegoat. Normally I'd report a post like this but it's just nonsense enough to make yourself look bad:
And truthers present anything but the OS as being the only possible explanation, despite the fact they all disagree with each other. You've yet to show anyone is part of any problem.
Why are people questioning it? Because people question everything. If Gravity stands up to experiment then why are there so many people claiming to have unique understandings of it?
The world is filled with people who cannot understand simple factual scenarios. There are millions of religious people who claim the earth is less than 4 billion years old. So, using the logic you've espoused above, because millions of them disagree, we know the earth isn't 4 billion years old.
Do you agree? Or are you about to change your logic now it's supporting something you disagree with? If you have to change the logical argument you use then that disproves your original point.
So, either endorse your own logic and admit this means you believe in a 'young earth', or deny your own logic and realise what a fool you are trying to blame debunkers for being part of a problem.
I leave the choice to you.

The position, it seems to me, is that there are pretty much as many theories as there are truthers. The remote controlled planers say the no planers are disinfo and the thermite crew say the dew weapon/ nuclear devices are disinfo and the Bush/Cheney people don't like the Israel?mossad bunch and so on and so on and so on.
People who think 19 Al Qaeda linked terrorists hi-jacked 4 planes are actually pretty consistent and have hard facts to back them up. So why you label them as part of the problem when it is the truther world that is all over the place eludes me.

That sentence makes no sense, why is it nonsense to make myself look bad? That just isn't coherent.
Why would you report someone for having an opinion? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to report right?
What is a truther? I don't have to show that anyone is part of the problem, that is just my opinion, which I can state without having to show anything. If I and others feel that there is a cover up going on, then we can say that right? This is a website where we can discuss anything and everything to do with 9/11 is it not? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to get worked up over right?
What has this remark got to do with anything? No one was discussing gravity, and I cannot see how this remotely connects with anything you are replying to?
So people that question things are morons as you put it. So you don't like being called part of the problem but you don't mind calling people morons? OK!
Listen, people have questioned things from year dot, this is how man works, and because people do not believe all of the OS, due to many holes in it, we are naturally going to ask a lot of questions. That is our right, we do, after all pay the wages of the governments, and if we feel we are being lied to, then we have the right to ask plenty of questions.
There may be people in the world that do not understand factual scenarios, but this has nothing to do with 9/11. There are untold well educated people that just do not think they are being told the whole truth about 9/11.
It is their right to challenge the OS if they think it stinks. Many do, if they didn't this forum and all the other 9/11 forums would not exist would they.
I don't see how the earth being 4 billion years old, and religions have anything to do with 9/11, it's just not remotely relevant. So I shall ignore that because it's just too way out there and off topic. No I don't agree because it's not something to do with 9/11 and so I have no interest in discussing religion or how old the earth is. Perhaps if you have an interest in religion and the earth's age, then there are other sections within ATS where you can go and discuss those things with likeminded members.
Again, more ad hominem, calling me a fool for having an opinion. I do believe there are many people who like to masquerade as debunkers are part of the problem. As stated, that is my opinion, and again, if those that I feel are part of the problem have nothing to hide, then there is no need to be bothered by anything is there?
