How someone can today attack the importance of keeping secret intelligence sources and methods, and finds the remains of 3000 dead (including the wife of a college friend) insufficient proof of life of the perpetrator who masterminded their death, just ...

Re...I don't believe anything that we are told.<br /><br />Recall back when the Glomar Challenger and Explorer were widely reported in the media as, specialty ships, designed to mine manganese nodules from the ocean floor. That story even appeared in, My Weekly Reader, used in classrooms all across the English speaking world.<br /><br />We later learned that it was a total lie, and that the Glomar missions were to salvage a lost Soviet nuclear submarine.<br /><br />All the American citizens know about "Osama" is that he was created by our own government as the "mastermind" behind 9-11.<br /><br />Now he has supposedly been killed. I see no evidence that he ever existed, independent of what our government propaganda machine has fed to us.<br /><br />The explosions and bullets that whiz by our soldier's ears are quite real, but we really should not accept the explanations provided for us by a government that has such a long record of lying to us.<br /><br />Others are free to believe this Osama fable, if they want, but it all reminds me of how President Eisenhower warned us about the "military-industrial complex."<br /><br />Recall how just before this "war on terror" the debate was how we were going to slice the Pentagon Budget, and how we would spend the "peace dividend."J.
