Reply #21: Sometimes there's weasel language. [View All]

Since the attacks were by definition "terrorist attacks" the
assumption that they are necessarily referring to Muslim
hijackers is not justified. Even if it was orchestrated by
our government, 9/11 was a terrorist attack.

The NIST report in concluding "there is no evidence for explosives
planted before 9/11/01" seems to suggest that there might be
evidence for explosives planted after 12:01 a.m. the morning of
9/11.

There is similar weasel language from one of the official
statements about the Pentagon attacks too. I've forgotten
what it was about. A commentator suggested that it gave the
speaker an out--if the truth ever did emerge, he could say "Well
I didn't actually lie, did I?"

Basically this Admnistration operates at the level of child
psychology. People who think it's clever to cross their fingers
behind their backs.
