    Why are people so unwilling to look at this issue? Could it be the absolute horrors of the answers will disrupt entire belief systems. My God, we are not talking about a religion. We are talking about a crime that was done to each and every one of us. Therefore there should be no secrets and no cover-up. 911 was an inside job. BELIEVE your eyes.

      when you can't attack the message, attack the messenger instead. thats why there are so many personal attacks at rosie (her weight, she's a lesbian, whatever). people just don't want to deal.

      to this day I've wanted someone, anyone, to explain away the "put" options that were bought on Morgan Stanley/Dean Witter (they oppcupied 22 floors of the WTC) in the three days leading up to 911.

      Morgan Stanley/Dean Witter had 2,157 of its "put" options bought in the three trading days before 911.

      That's an average of 719 put options per day.

      Up until September 6, the average number of Morgan Stanley put options sold per day: 27

      thats a 26-fold increase.

      so someone knew in advance that Morgan Stanley's stock was going to fall.

      Many people have looked into this. Conspiracy buffs from around the world have joined together to suggest the craziest idea yet; The government of the U.S. assisted the terrorists in bringing down the towers. While nothing of this sort occurred, this view is more enticing to these type of people.

      The interesting aspect of this story is the effort her staff is trying to do in damage control. She is desperately seeking help. Her low self image and what might be "trouble" in her relationship is obvious. Rosie was not "seeking," she was "stating." The difference is clear: she was already convinced of the conspiracy and as she disclosed the information, the folks watching were stunned by her extraordinary view.

      Her distortions are extensions of a depressed mind and low esteem. She needs intervention. I hope she has one friend to help in a suicide watch over the next 90 days.

        Why are people so unwilling to look at this issue? Let me count the ways:

        1) Engineering experts already explain how all the buildings came down and these reports were carried on all major networks plus CNN, MSNBC and Fox News with specials on The Discovery Channel and History Channels.

        Rosie: "Fire can't melt steal!"

        Every been to a blacksmith shop or steel mill? Heat is used to weaken and bend metal or even liguify it. This wasn't some simple office fire, it was a fire started by a major explosion then excelerated by jet fuel which burns much hotter and longer than any office furniture or paper.

        Rosie: "Building 7 couldn't implode without explosives placed inside!"

        The WTC complex was not built to withstand direct hits by jet airliners and then the colapse of the twin towers creating a downward rush of air and debri plus generating earthquake force tremors in neighboring buildings. That's why all the neighboring buildings were vacated.

          You saw two planes slam into the towers, did you? Hmmm... and where exactly were you? What took you to the towers before the first plane hit?

          also, you "saw" that the planes were loaded with "jet fuel, passengers and Middle Eastern Terrorists" and that it was "at 500 mph"? how did you see that, exactly? is your name Clark Kent?

          This is as crazy as the Dipsey Chicks saying they were embarrassed about Bush. Comments without merit, and with political insensitivity deserve response. Clearly the majority of Americans are tired of the hate-filled comments from the liberal left. Ironic that they are generally over-weight and suffer from low self esteem. (Rosie, the fat chick in the Dipsey trio and ...) They need help, until then, they should be protected from making their unintelligent comments. Maybe they have friends? Somebody needs to help women like Rosie and others.

            Well, that's your opinion. Anyone can make a case on limited evidents which is what everyone is doing because all you know is what they want you to know and that's the way it will stay. If the governments story didn't have too many holes in it, the people might have accepted it at face value but when there are issues that are brushed off as CT and not explained, it will continue to be in doubt.

            Actually, I'd be willing to bet that Rosie can spell better.

            And, as an educator, I would remark that the students who don't ask questions are not by definition the bright ones. They are all too often the ones who learn less. The ones who aren't interested. The ones who follow the crowd and don't want to think independently.

            Any good teacher will tell you:

            There is no such thing as a dumb question.

            There might be some dumb answers.

            Wait a minute. Why is every one bitching with Rosie? She didn't say anything different from what so many others haven't been saying. I think it is the duty of the Government to clear the doubts of those who have been doubting the truthfulness of their story. Confront those Professors, Scientists and Physicists who are doubting you and prove them wrong. Why not?

              I agree, instead of calling them fools or idiot, why not go over their points one by one and debate the issues. If it is in fact true that the 9/11 was an attack by radicals in planes without any other help to bring down the buildings, there would be no problem with a closed door debate over evidents. That's why courts have trials because government says one thing and the defense say another.

              Rosie is seeking the truth. She is looking beyond the brevity of the 9/11 commission and asking questions which all of us should ask. I say good luck to her and hope she finds some answers soon.

                The true sheep are followers of the 'truth' religion, so unswerving in their belief that they are right they have formed a cult.

                What an ignorant and utterly pathetic statement it is to use the word patriot and this phrase "imagine the pres and vice pres getting the death penalty.. puts a smile on my face."

                Perhaps you need to be taught that we are a nation of laws, and those laws do not always conform to the loud yelling and screaming of ignorant masses. Thats what we call a lynch mob. And thats all that the ignorant individuals of the 'truth' movement have become.

                    If the employees of MorganStanley knew in advance it goes along that other investment houses also knew.. And not a single employee or trader or associate felt compelled to bring this pre-event knowledge to the attention of anyone. They knew this was going to happen and simply sat back and watched in glee as they had already secured their profits. After the fact they were all so pleased with their profits that again even though those profits came at the cost of overt 3000 lives, they felt it was all worth it and we should all continue to coverup the real truth of the incident. Bush did it.

                    It's a horrible thing to think that there could be rogues within our own governement that would sponser, provoke, or allow an attack on our home soil in order to restrict our liberties or to get financial gain. It's so horrible to think such a thing could actually happen since we've found in the past that we've done such things on foreign soil. It's horrible to think it could ever happen here.

                    What if people were just closing their eyes like the Germans did with the Nazis and believing that if we just kept our mouths shut everything would go back to the way it was before? Scary thoughts for scary times.

                    I'm sure some neo con will add the humorous hit and run so I'm going to beat them to the punch. So what if you think we should have limits on our freedoms -you're an idiot.

                            Then try Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty or give me death!" Freedom of speech is a form of liberty, I'm sure. I don't know if I believe the government was involved in 911 or not, but I'm not tearing down those who are asking the awful question. It is their right and their duty if they believe something is amiss.

                              How about good ole American,Patrick Henry, then: "Give me liberty or give me death!" Freedom of speech falls into the category of "liberty" I do believe! I don't know whether there was government involvement in 911 or not, but I won't malign those who are seeking to find out. It is their right and their duty to keep asking the awful question if they believe something is amiss.

                            How many wars have the french won? Americans have died for such basic freedoms. This administration has used fear to restrict liberties and enable activities outside of our core beliefs to continue- human rights abuses, abandonment of due process, warrantless eavesdropping.

                            I'm not a french basher, but it means more when you can back up your words.

                                    When events occur that are so enormous in their consequences as 9/11 or the Kennedy Assasination many people are unable or do not want to accept the simple truth of the events that - They are what they are- no conspiracy - no hidden answers - just the fact that they occured as they did. Some people think conspiracy because of naivite,some to push their own aggenda, that doesn't change anything as God answered when questioned by Moses -"Iam what I am' - it is what it is a terrible tragedy perpetrated by fanatics.

                                        I didn't read the attached story, I don't see the point. Rosie's opinion as well as most of the criticism towards George Bush is born of hatred for him rather than any genuine observation. With job approval ratings hovering below 30% there should be no problem pushing this 911 idiocy or any other anti-Bush message through. Bush himself has been his opponents greatest ally as he waits far too late to defend himself against accusation and in an attempt to calm the forces against him reaches out and accepts blame and responsibility as a gesture of good faith playing right into his adversaries hand.

                                        But this 911 idiocy is so stupid it insults even the anti-Bush forces that would have to present it as credible to use it against him. Rosie is just a loud mouth idiot, and the only legitimate question she raises is that of her sanity. But that's not a question for me, I already know the answer.
