Fair enough, sorry if I picked you up wrong. However, I don't think it's suspicious that there's a lot of detail in reports about something like 9/11. Are you saying that they should provide a precis version or something?

Something has always bothered my about the 911 conspiricy theories. I'll admit there are a lot of eyebrow raising tidbits surrounding the whole event. The eyewitnesses the videos the coincidences and so forth. But what has always bugged me was the number of people that needed to be in the know for this plan to work. Why do we not have dozens of whistle blowers coming out? I'm supposed to buy the idea that the govt can pull off such a huge caper without blowing their cover. Yet when they claim wmd's in Iraq, they can't plant a few just to cover their butts. That has always been a sore spot with me. I must be missing the connection.

Good post-well written.
I think I understand what your trying say is the anomalies, as you call them, are in fact present in any long drawn explanation of a complex event. The fact that everything is not explained is not evidence that the explanation is flawed. Detectives are taught this from a hypothetical court case where the defense calls in question the entire prosecution's case because they can't tell the jury the exact time the victim left work-people saw the victim leave, but no one was sure of the time. In criminal judicial law that called a continuous of fact. In other words the law doesn't require you explain everything-just a preponderance of the evidence. In the case of 9/11 common sense and visualization exceeded the preponderance in an enormous amount. Case in point 99.999% of the people that see a large passenger airliner crash deliberately into a building believe what they see-the fact that some of the passengers in the first class seats were misidentified-fails to change their own common sense about what they saw.
The list of unsolved mysteries about 9/11 are still aplenty and the 'abnormalities' of the North Tower above the impact zone along with tactual leader Atta ability to be in 2 places at the same time-on many occasions-are baffling. For myself, the descriptions by assistant manager Christine Olender of the Windows on the World restaurant about thick black smoke that has filled the ballroom less that 30 seconds after impact 80 feet below her post-along with 5 different descriptions from doomed guest of a bomb going off in the bathroom will always haunt me about 9/11.
That and the governments quiet release into the Archives documents that show all 4 hijacker teams had 'Boeing keys' that fit the cockpits of all their airliners-and never say another word about the how, where or anything else about the keys is a close second.
However being shackled to google truthers know nothing of any of these mysteries.
I thought an effort was going to be made to stop the never ending spamming in the 9/11 forum. The same exact things being posted over and over and over many more than a decade old and some posted over 50 times recently.
My bad.

Compartmentalization, 200 000 people worked on the Menhetn project and was a big secret.Avoiding the subject on mainstream media and
Do your homework man .
compartmentalization of information means to limit access to information to persons who directly need to know certain such information in order to perform certain tasks.
The basis for compartmentalization is that if fewer people know the details of a mission or task, the risk or likelihood that such information could be compromised or fall into the hands of the opposition is decreased. Hence, varying levels of clearance within organizations exist. Yet, even if someone has the highest clearance, certain "eyes only" information may still be restricted to certain operators, even of lower rank. In intelligence administration, officials believe it is useful to keep close watch on "sources and methods" information to prevent disclosure of people and their activities, whose lives they may believe to be at risk if such information were publicly disclosed or fall into the hands of the opposition.
"When this was going on, I had absolutely no idea what was going on in the rest of the military intelligence, the rest of our government. Everything is so compartmentalized that you don’t really know necessarily what the person next to you is doing, let alone in a different room in a different building in a different location. And so, it really wasn’t until the New York Times piece came out about the NSA’s domestic wiretapping that I really began to think about what we were doing and my mission and that we were collecting on Americans. And we were doing so for the flimsiest of reasons.
Another epic example of the utilization of compartmentalization to keep secrets is The Manhatten Project. General Groves mastered the art of compartmentalization. All residents were confined to the project area and surrounding town. Most lab facilities were compartmentalized with various teams working on different project elements. Those who worked in the lab were forbidden to discuss any aspect of the project with friends or relatives. Military security personnel guarded the grounds and monitored communications between research teams. Official communications outside of Los Alamos, especially to the other Manhattan Project sites, were coded and enciphered. Mail was permitted, but heavily censored. Since the actual location of the Los Alamos facility was secret, all residents used the clandestine address "Box 1663, Santa Fe, New Mexico."

There were between 3000 and 75000 people working at oak ridge from 1942-1945. They were enriching uranium 239. They knew exactly what they were doing. And as I said they believed in what they were doing and wanted to keep the secret. 911 took the cooperation of air traffic controllers, demolition teams, pilots and countless others. Someone would talk especially after the event took place and they could put two and two together. You may not see what your doing when your doing it but after you see the result you realize what you did.
