Do you even know what you're talking about?

And you know the guy had to act like he was cool with it in order to keep from REALLY being murdered...\n\nWhat's he gonna say? I'll sue Dick Cheney?

It's not that it's convincing by itself. It's just that it ties in with what we heard on 9/11 in terms of news (much of which may have been unconfirmed). People make that connection between what they remember seeing in the news that day and what the government is telling us now and assume that because two sources are confirming the story, it must be true.

I have often wondered the same thing... \n\nThere are very strange coincidences, after all:\n1 - During the 9/11 WTC attacks, Dick Cheney was in an important bussiness meeting, which included investors of the Carlyle Group, among them Saudi relatives of Osama Bin Laden. \nLet me rephrase that: "Dick Cheney was a bussiness partner with Bin Laden's family, until October 2001! \nThey were both investors of the freakin Carlyle Group, an international corporate group that acts as a military contractor!"\n2 - Bin Laden's brother owns a construction company (Bin Ladin Construction Group), and it's responsable for the construction of almost all US bases in the Middle East.\n3 - Isn't it strange that Bin Laden's family was allowed to leave the US in a private jet on 9/12, while other commercial and civilian flights were cancelled?\nWhy didn't the CIA consider them as possible suspects? \nThey weren't not even interrogated!\n4 - Bussiness relations between the Bush and Bin Laden family go a long way back.... Not to mention that the CIA actually funded the first Afghan islamic groups in 1989, to counter the soviets. (The US is actually responsable for creating the talibans)\n5 - Just check out Google Earth! If any miserable pundit like you or me can have access to such advanced satellite imaginery, then imagine the technology that the US military must have! How is it possible that they cannot find him? Do they really want to find him?\n6 - If you watch the BBC documentary "The Power of Nightmares", they mention there how Al-Qaeda is not properly portrayed by western media. They want us to believe that Al-Qaeda is in fact a single, unified terrorist organization, while the truth is that Al-Qaeda is just a political base that has no links to the individual, independent terrorist cells that carry out the attacks.\nIn other words, catching Bin Laden won't end terrorism, since the terrorist cells (in Iraq, London, Spain and elsewhere), often act independently.\n7 - Despite claims that Al-Qaeda is an old organization, it's never mentioned by the CIA's internal reports before January 2001.\n\nPersonally, I believe that there's something fishy behind the whole affair. It would not surprise me that Bin Laden is actually working for the American neo-conservatives and large corporations, by providing them with an excuse to scare the population, introduce a curtailment of civil rights and engage in pro-bussiness wars and military interventions.

Yes!  I think he not only attempted to kill him. I think he DID kill him. Its just a right wing consipiracy that is trying to have it seem like he is alive. They are using trick photography you know.  But they assinated him so Cheney could get his heart. Cheneys been looking for a new heart transplant and Whittington was a perfect match.  They have also killed all of Whittingtons family.  they have just hid all this from the press.

Yes. If you read the 9-11 reports, Cheney gave the order to shoot down the plane twice. First he gave it to the National Security Council while it was still in the air and then he gave it to the joint chiefs, ten minutes after it had crashed. He should have called the joint chiefs first, but since they report to several different branches it would have taken longer to scramble fighters and the press would hear about it. The NSC could scramble fighters on their own, be silent about it, and cover it up much better than the JCs. Crash investigators have commented to USN&WR, NY Times, and Newsweek that the crash resembles a plane that has been brought down by an outside force, burn marks on the fuselage that are not consistent with an accidental crash, and a spreading of debris that does not stay consistent with an accidental crash but rather with an air to air missle that has attacked from behind. Chances are that the passengers of 93 put up a fight. The telephones calls prove this. But the crash happened to suddenly after the last known calls that it is more likely that flight was knocked out by the USAF before any assualt inside the plane had any time to take effect.

If you have any doubt about what happened, watch this video:\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5137581991288263801\nIt's called "Loose Change" and uses FACTS to prove the Bush government was behind or at least supported the 9/11 attacks.

gotta good story about ol' cheney. \n\nin the 1990s Iran was sponsoring anti-american terrorism. Khobar towers bombing etc.  \nWith the suppor of america and the international community, President Clinton wisely stopped trading with Iran for good reasons.  Conoco had a billion dollar oil deal with Iran.  This would have stopped the deal.  Cheney, working for Halliburton, criticized Clinton for his wise decision because he wanted halliburton to continue making billions.  Bottom line, Cheney would rather have a relationship with terrorists and have money.  Does that sicken you?  It does for me.  He's evil and greedy.

Sorry i thought you meant leaker in valery plame.........\n\nHomeland security i have to read up....thanks.\n\n\nbut regarding the CIA leak.....\n\nMost likely it came from cheney and worked its way down...only time will tell.\n\nIt is sad when the white house is willing to not only take revenge on those who disagree with them but also\nbe willing to sacrifice our intellegence community as a warning to others.........\n\nJoe Wilson thinks its also a warning to others... \n\n\nScooter Libby has been indited for lying, Rove has not been charged but many feel he cut a deal, by the way it was phrased that they don't "anticipate" charges.....interesting.\n\nRegardless there is something dirty goin on and someone is covering up this act of treason.\n\n\nexcellent information regarding the leak and the \ndistrotion of intellegence......\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/view/

I believe Mr. Cheney wears depends!\n\nSo if he was the leaker, the world may never know!

1) No\n2) No\n3) No\n4) No\n5) No\n6) No\n7) No\n8) Yes\n\nWhy does everything that Bush or Cheney do have to be a conspiracy to you people. If this is such a big deal, why didn't the liberal media know that Cheney was hunting? They didn't even know where he was.

It appears that the guy was involved in Al Qaeda, but was either inept, a coward, or both.  He used his time on this earth to aspire to be the lowest scumbag you can imagine ... and he couldn't even succeed at that.  I am so glad he gets to think about that while he grows old and rots in a concrete cell, rather than get his last chance for martyrdom.\n\nAs for whether 911 was staged by our government, I don't believe it for a second.  Bush and crew are far too *incompetent* to pull that off.  They can't even leak a CIA operative's name without getting caught ... to pull off a secret operation like 911 would be impossible for them.\n\nThat said, I think the war in Iraq is a sham.  The American people were (rightly) ready to take heads after 911, and Bush directed us at the *wrong target* for the *wrong reasons*.  (1) There is no evidence of any Saddam involvement in 911; (2) was plenty of evidence showing that Saddam and Bin Laden *hated* each other; and (3) Saddam was was not an Islamic idealogue, he was a cowardly power-hungry secular dictator who cared about nothing but staying in his cozy palaces ... attacking the U.S. would have been the *last* thing he wanted to be involved in ... gained him nothing, lost him everything.  \n\nWhen we had Bin Laden on the run in Afghanistan, and then Bush stops and goes after Bin Laden's hated enemy Saddam Hussein ... Bin Laden must have wet his pants from laughing so hard at Bush.  And then to have us dismantle our precious freedoms with a USAPATRIOT act, and then to leave Iraq in a political shambles just ready for a fanatical Islamic theocracy like Iran ... Bin Laden right now must be smiling ear to ear with how well 911 worked out for him.  Thanks Mr. Bush!  "Bring it on."\n\nOh, and let me add, that I think any enlisted soldier serving in Iraq deserves nothing but respect and praise.  Nothing detracts from their heroism.  It is *for this reason* that I have no kind words for any President who would put our soldiers in harms way without a very *very* good reason!

He didn't fool all of us, but, yes, as a country, we were duped by the great liar.\n\n\nAs you can see from a number of these answers, he's still fooling people.  It is amazing there is anybody left that still links 9/11 and Iraq.

Most all the evidence that is available to us, show that the WTC buildings were rigged with explosives. Our own government had motive as was well as an opportunity to do this crime. Here is the evidence, presented for your scrutiny.  The picture of the cut core beam should be of special interest to someone with demolition knowledge.\n\nFAKE CONFESSION\nThe official government story is that the 9/11 attack was orchestrated by Al Qaeda, which is lead by Osama bin Laden. The proof our government provided was a video with Osama confessing to the crime. The problem with the video is that the person in the video does not look like Osama bin Laden: See picture.\nhttp://911blimp.net/vid_fakeOsamaVideo.shtml\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk519bkcLjg\n\nEVIDENCE\nThere are many other factors that do not fit the official story. They include, secondary explosions that were seen, heard, reported, and recorded by firefighters, in and around the WTC buildings.\nhttp://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-4574366633014832928&q=firefighter+bombs+in+the+building\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcRs1fv8i3I\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHz9YWVgJWM\n\nHere is a video clip showing a trail of explosions just before the destruction wave.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_DkzhonpGY&mode=related&search=\n\nMolten, beyond red hot, "steel" was video recorded coming out of the South Tower just before it collapsed. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to turn steel to liquid.  Melted red hot steel was also found in "ground zero" of all three WTC buildings, including WTC7; the one no jet ever hit.\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=ExrVgioIXvk&search=thermite\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3D2myMbQjQ\n\nFORENSICS\nA chemical analysis of the solidified molten iron,conducted by independent firms, yielded an explosive, called Thermite. Also found was a WTC core beam; most probably cut using the demolition cutting charge (Thermate). No core beams were left standing beyond a few feet high, for it to have been cut by an Iron Workers torch.

Listen to this retired general, He says, "The Plane does not fit the hole; so what did hit the Pentagon..."\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2VoUN-7RVU&eurl=\n \nThis video, obtained by a public interest group, shows the top rear fin of an air craft hiding behind a call box: Whatever is hiding back there, is under 48 ft. long, to small to be a Boeing 757, which is over 155 ft. long.\nhttp://www.clipaday.com/2006/05/pentagon_plane_crash_from_sept.html\n\nMOTIVE\nThe New Conservatives (Neo-Cons), with the help of their friends, started planning the invasion of Iraq, shortly after Pres. Bush took office. Apparently, the plan would include the attack of the WTC buildings. It did this to get the support of congress and the nation, to attack Iraq. Read it from their own PENAC document. Pay special attention to the section entitled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force" page 50 and the top of page 51, where it states we need a new Pearl Harbor attack to get the ball rolling.\nhttp://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf\n\nOPPORTUNITY\nWitnesses saw a work crew going into the WTC buildings with rolls of wire, supposedly for internet upgrades. Tenants were moved around while crews "upgraded" the cable systems. The Port Authority cut power to the building for a whole weekend, just prior to the attack; shutting down the entire security systems. Witnesses also heard crews operating heavy hammering equipment that left a gray cement like dust, in the building. This activity took place just weeks before the 911 attack: The Port Authority had released control of the buil

this man has no shame, he's acted as though he was above the law for years now, and now he's getting his just dues.  He must have lied under oath and for that he committed an act of treason to out Valerie Plame.  If Bush does not cut him off, then he too should be jailed as a conspirator and an obstructor of justice.  Cheney's done too.

Maybe he was lying on purpose or trying to look stupid.  There may be some beyond the scenes bargaining going on or some hidden agenda...I find it strange they didn't rig it in their favor knowing they know how and that it is pretty easy..
