That was a good two years after 9/11, as you know. If
the al-Qaeda leadership was never in fact lumped up in
Afghanistan, as you seem to believe, why did the US
attack that country ? We were told that Bin-Laden and
Zawahiri escaped through Tora Bora well after the US
invasion started; was that also a lie ? But Bin-Laden
himself published an account that seemed to confirm
this; is he a part of the conspiracy then ?
It's a bit difficult to say what the US government
ought ot have done when its every step is wrapped in
lies.
O.K.
