The 9/11-ers, who've insulted me and other radical critics for years as "gatekeepers for the neocons", "CIA agents," and "fearful for their jobs", are wounded when I call them nuts.* I've had many e-mails repeating their delirious litanies about NORAD, the collapse of the WTC buildings or <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>the "missile" that really struck the Pentagon.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->On this last matter, Chuck Spinney , now retired after years of brilliant public service exposing the Pentagon's budgetary outrages, wrote to me that "there ARE pictures taken of plane hitting Pentagon -- they were taken by the surveillance cameras at Pentagon's heliport, which was right next to impact point. I have seen themÖboth stills and moving pictures. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I just missed seeing it personally, but the driver of the van I just got out of in South Parking saw it so closely that he could see the terrified faces of passengers in windows</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.

Aldrich adds, "<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>If investigative journalists and contemporary historians were absorbed with the vexatious, but rather tired, debates over the grassy knoll</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->,(read smoking hole) <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>they would not be busy probing into areas where they were unwelcome</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->."<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
