Doug Thompson: 9/11 - Incompetence Not Conspiracy

"The 9/11 attacks succeeded because of the incredible improbability that such a ragtag group could pull it off and our lackluster intelligence agencies failed to act on credible reports of terrorist activity. I know my government. They're just not good enough to pull off something like this," writes Capital Hill Blue publisher and founder Doug Thompson (recovering alcoholic and proud of it too...)

I tell ya. The "ragtag" ragheads did it. It was Osama bin Forgotten and the cave dwellers in Afghanistan. You saw it on CNN, didn't you?

So who finally got to Doug Thompson? Yuck yuck.

9/11 was not an inside job, says Capital Hill Blue Founder Doug Thompson in his column "9/11 conspiracy theories don't pass the smell test." (http://www.capitolhillblue.com/content/2006/03/911_

The smell test?

That Thomspson -- he got some "smeller" on him. Don't he?

He writes, "However, I cannot - and will not - join the chorus of those who claim the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001, were an inside job staged by the Bush administration, the Central Intelligence Agency or anyone else connected with our government.

"I cannot - and will not - be a party to those who claim the buildings were destroyed not by hijacked airliners but by explosives planted inside the structures."

Uh Oh. Thompson bought the Official 9/11 Government Conspiracy Theory that the Crazy Ragheads Did It All By Themselves.

Better watch those crazy ragheads. We'll all be like Elmer Fudd. "Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting wagheads."

"The conspiracy claims by those who say Osama bin Laden and his rabid band of followers could not possibly have planned and executed the attacks that killed more than 3,000 Americans on that fateful day are, in my opinion, just plain wrong," Thompson continues.

"Just plain wrong"? Now I'm REALLY convinced. Why? Because Doug Thompson says so. There it is in plain English. It's just plain wrong" No facts or evidence required. It's "just plain wrong."

After all, Thompson says, "My 40-plus years as a journalist, coupled with too many years working inside the government, tell me that the scenarios laid out by the 9/11 conspiracy buffs just don't pass the smell test."

"40-plus years"? Thompson must be a "trained" professional. You know? Like a seal. Aren't you convinced too?

Ask Doug if they threatened to castrate him.

Or has he been castrated already?
