American journalist: Osama bin Laden 'not involved' in 9/11
2014-09-10
[ABNA.IR] An American journalist says former al-Qaeda leader "the late Osama bin Laden
... who used to be alive but now he's not...
was not involved" in the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

He said the 9/11 terrorist attacks were a "contrived event" secretly executed by neoconservatives in the Pentagon in cooperation with US and Israeli intelligence agencies.

#8  Odd that his Wikipedia page doesn't mention UW Madison.

It does mention the University of Minnesota-Duluth, a particularly nasty place to live about six months out of the year, and a problem that U-Minnesota had with him in 2013.

Perhaps UW Madison 'scrubbed' the Wiki entry?

#7  it is comforting for idiots to blame the victim. That excuses them for their own cognitive dissonance. It gets rid of the discomfort they feel at having to acknowledge the bleeding obvious; that a stone age fascist religion has attacked them. That would necessitate leaving behind their multi culti view and they don't want to do that as it gives them social acceptance.

so to solve the conflict they blame the victim with a conspiracy theory

at some deep level they know they are lying to themselves or they would be in the street protesting to overthrow such an evil government to do the things they claim.

as a secondary benefit, the conspiracy theory that blames the victim gives comfort. It maintains the illusion that our own government is so powerful it is in control even when it all goes titzup. those stone age head bangers couldn't possibly hijack a plane with boxcutters and kill thousands of people, surely. that means we are vulnerable. easier to spread the bullsh*t conspiracy theory.

i despise these idiots

#6  Former professor in Madison, Wisconsin? Who would have known he is "truther?" Madison, Wisconsin is the Berkeley of the Midwest. That vast right-wing conspiracy that "damaged goods" Hillary Clinton talked about is behind 911? You mean the "What Difference Does it Make?" gal who covered up Benghazi?

#4  You know, I always joke that lawyers have to give up their soul when they pass the bar, but I'm really starting to think these so called 'journalists' never had one and were never human to begin with.
