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

Sure:
1) The man is lying
2) #1 because of his falsification of a 'manifest' for flight 77
3) The auopsy report does not hold the hijackers because a category decision was made NOT to treat the murderers entirely seperately from the murdered.
4) Someone else fabricated that autopsy list and gave ot to the fellow making the claim
5) Its a mistake.

As implausible as 1-5 are, theu are a lot LESS plausible than that every over bit of evidence that CONTRADICTS THIS is wrong and intentionally falsified.

"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? "

Like I said, entirely possible but VEY imporbable given the entire set of evidence that we have. One outlying bit of flimsy 'evidence' does NOT indicate the contradicting case, even remotely.

"That is, I might remind you, the simplest and most direct explanation"

the simplest and most direct explanation would be 1-5 listed above.

"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."

Yes, please provide support, proof or a list of sources- make the *sources*, official findings- not the say-so of an unknown source.

"But of course, none of this raises the slightest question in the mind of him who would lecture me about Galileo, Socrates or Einstein. "

Please leave them out of it. I'm sure they would not be pleased.

"Not really. If you had bothered to read the entire report, you would have encounted the author's comment on this point."

Yes, I did, and I read the section. I am non-plussed. That AA did not provide him a roster is not surprising. I wouldn't

" 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."

No, there are a multitude of sources that this could have come from. AA is NOT the only one who could have provided it. Government and Law enforcement, or anyone wiith a search engine.

And it was midirection. It was claimed as a full manifest. It wasn't. It was a list of victims.

"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."

No, it means NOT I AND NOT YOU know what an official AFIP autopsy report looks like, and without corroboration and in addition to blatantly false claims made about the manifest, it means precisely nothing.

"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,"

You should take me seriously, as I disposed of your source after he told a lie. This makes his essay meaningless. I don't take you seriously because of the contrawise case.

And actually, I did read his peace and what thin source material was posted. One of the links that I looked into AND YOU DID NOT, was the CNN.com piece.

" you insist that I "Give an ennumeration of those facts that I am over-looking, and support them, or shut up.""

Yes, please do. So far I see not facts but bullshit. Bullshit kills people. Bullshit and irrational behavir ends us in wars. Bullshit burns 'witches'. Bullshit drives people to believe they have been Satanically Ritually Abused or abducted by aliens. Bullshit drives the Demon Haunted world- and you are a purveyor of Bullshit.

"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"

And these inconsistencies are?

"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"

Thats the dumbest thing you have ever said, Splinx.

"I don't have Blind Cardinal Disease. "

No, you are just a Bullshit artist/believer.

"Right."

Yes, I am. Go Fish!
