When I commented, I really didn't mean to step into a
battle.

But the point of my post was just to say that anyone
can go read oodles of info online, the official 9/11
report, lots and lots of archived US and foreign press
stories - and then make one's own judgements for
ONESELF. Hence my "grain of salt" comment, etc.

An emotional subject for many? Yes. A need to
start an emotional debate here on the LUG? No.
