"I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I
know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and
women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless
terrors of which they dare not speak."
They seek him here
They seek him there.
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven?
Or is he in hell? That damned elusive Pimpernel!
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
The little things are infinitely more important."
"I am an omnivorous reader with a strangely retentive memory for
trifles."

>> Wrong
>> Questions; Or, Recommendations From A Retired U.S. Army Vietnam
>> Veteran
>> Master Sergeant
>>
>> Wrong, that is Cindy, if what you really want to do is to learn the

>> he
>> was doing there.
>>
>> Wrong, that is Cindy, because even if the Crawford Vacationer were
>> to
>> deign to speak with you, his answer would be carefully designed and
>> crafted to satisfy his handlers, his constituency, and the American
>> mainstream corporate media, and not you or your desire for truth.
>>
>> In short, all that you would receive would be one more slickly
>> packaged
>> deception, distortion, obfuscation, half-truth, and open, bald-face
>> lie
>> that is the sum and substance of what this government and its media
>> have told the American people about Iraq ever since Saddam and his
>> alleged weapons of mass destruction emerged as a threat to the
>> so-called "civilized" world in the summer of 2002.
>>
>> So, while parking yourself outside the Holiday White House may be

>> or the peace -- that you seek.
>>
>> You are indeed trying to ask the wrong person the wrong set of
>> questions.
>>
>> Before enumerating which right questions to ask which right people,
>> it
>> is imperative that you are absolutely clear on a number of very
>> simple
>> but indisputable facts.
>>
>> FACT 1: Any attempt to understand the Invasion and Occupation of
>> Iraq
>> that does not start with the PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY
>> and
>> its "new Pearl Harbor," The Terror Event of September 11, 2001, is
>> at
>> best, naively sophomoric, and at worst, willfully moronic.
>>
>> If 9.11 did not happen, this government and its media could not and
>> would not have been able to convince the American people that war
>> in
>> Iraq (or Afghanistan) was necessary. It would have needed some
>> other
>> "new Pearl Harbor." Without 9.11, your son would not have been in
>> Iraq.
>>
>> FACT 2: In any war -- but most particularly in this war -- the
>> fundamental principle governing the distribution and flow of
>> information and knowledge is very simple: "NEED TO KNOW."
>>
>> Individuals and organizations are given only the information and
>> knowledge that they absolutely must have -- and only absolutely
>> when
>> they must have it -- in order to accomplish their task or satisfy
>> their
>> function in the accomplishment of the larger mission at hand. Your
>> son
>> knew and understood this very well.
>>
>> In this "war" -- this so-called War Against so-called Terrorism --
>> the
>> American people have made it abundantly clear that they willingly,
>> dutifully, and passively accept their government's dictate that
>> they,
>> the people, have no need whatsoever to know The Truth about The
>> Terror
>> Event of September 11, 2001: The Truth about WHAT actually
>> happened;
>> about HOW it actually happened; about WHY it actually happened;
>> about
>> WHO actually made it happen; and about who actually LET it happen.
>>
>> Not only do the American people accept that they have no need to
>> know
>> The Truth about 9.11, they have also made it abundantly clear that
>> they
>> do not WANT to know The Truth about 9.11. For that Truth, they
>> well
>> suspect, may be "too terrible to bear."
>>
>> One can almost see Jack Nicholson's character in A FEW GOOD MEN,
>> The
>> General, standing at Ground Zero and bellowing: "The TRUTH?!?!?
>> You
>> can't HANDLE The Truth!!!"
>>
>> FACT 3: The "success" of the terrorist attacks on September 11,
>> 2001
>> could have only happened as a direct result of the biggest
>> government
>> failure in the history of this nation: the biggest immigration and
>> criminal law enforcement, intelligence, anti-terrorism, airport
>> security, national defense, highjacked aircraft protocol, and
>> homeland
>> security failure ever. Ever.
>>
>> To date, not one single U.S. government official -- not one elected
>> politician, not one entrenched civilian or military bureaucrat, not
>> one
>> annointed political appointee -- has been held accountable or been
>> made
>> responsible for this greatest failure. Not one.
>>
>> In fact, those individuals, agencies, departments, and
>> organizations
>> most directly complicit, whose failures on and before September 11,
>> 2001 enabled 9.11 to be a "success" -- the FBI, the CIA, the
>> Department
>> of Defense, the White House and its National Security Council --
>> have
>> been rewarded with quantum jumps in increased political and legal
>> power
>> and authority, manpower, and especially, money.
