Multitudes of explanations? Would you mind, then, providing a few?

May I assist you by suggesting that at least one of those multitudes of explanations - the one you are trying so hard to avoid - is that there indeed were no Arabs on the flight? That is, I might remind you, the simplest and most direct explanation, especially when considered in light of the fact that several of the alleged hijackers subsequently fingered by the FBI turned out to alive and well in Saudi Arabia.

But of course, none of this raises the slightest question in the mind of him who would lecture me about Galileo, Socrates or Einstein. Just for the record, and to make it crystal clear for you, I used Galileo's experience with the wilfully blind Papal emmisaries to draw a parallel and to shed light on the meaning of Blind Cardinal Disease.

"Claiming that the 'Victims' list published by cnn.com was a roster of flight 77 was a willful misdirection on the part of the author."

Not really. If you had bothered to read the entire report, you would have encounted the author's comment on this point. CNN could have gotten the roster only from AA. The author's repeated attempts to communcate with the airline on this issue received no response.

I attempted on three occasions to obtain a final passenger list from American Airlines. They refuse to give a list and in fact won’t even verify that they gave the first list to CNN. Since the list is in the public domain, I find it curious that they would not take ownership nor provide a current, “correct” list.

"I refute that in 'part one' the fellow presented ANY sound evidence. A claim to evidence is NOT, evidence."

The "fellow" posted copies of the AFIP autopsy report, but I suppose you will now insist that web copies of autopsy reports are, precisely, web copies of autopsy reports. Nothing more, nothing less.

Right.

Surely, you cannot hope for me to take your comments seriously when first you say you haven't and probably won't read the citations I supplied, and then, when I point this out, you insist that I "Give an ennumeration of those facts that I am over-looking, and support them, or shut up."

- not exactly the kind of logic or language I would use to promote a discussion of the many inconsistencies in the official version of the events of Black Tuesday, arguably the darkest day in the history of our republic.

I'll conclude by noting that I'm interested in identifying those reponsible for 911 and bringing them to justice. I'm not interested in expending a lot of time and energy jousting with those who believe everything our government tells them to believe, even when it doesn't make sense.

I don't have Blind Cardinal Disease.
