    News Max came out with an entire deck for Hilary Clinton, not long after the original deck was shown by the military. Pricks.

    i don't care that he's French...he could be Martian, for all i care...it's his statement that a segment of the military planned and carried out 9/11 that I care more about.

    Sounds like a way to make money by a leftist French wacko (who is probably posing as a leftist French wacko).

    They're all over the world (not the French, the wackos. ;) ) I think the whole "deck of cards" thing was a publicity stunt more than anything useful to get the bad guys. So I'm not really surprised that someone would do this. This is the only guy??

    these are the cards in question, Deckard...and this is from the article:


    Meyssan is the author of a one-time French best seller, "9-11: The Big Lie," claiming that no plane ever crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, and that the attacks were plotted by a faction within the U.S. military.

    Now, Meyssan said in a telephone interview, he wants to expose "the 52 most dangerous American officials."

    Meyssan heads the Voltaire Network, a left-wing association that put the cards on its Internet site.

    Russian Newspaper Plays U.S. at Its Own Card Game

    MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian newspaper has trumped the U.S. government with playing cards featuring top American figures -- a parody of decks issued to U.S. troops during the Iraq war depicting the most-wanted figures in Saddam Hussein's ruling elite

    His book was a best seller? Really? The French must have too much time on their hands. Those that bought the book, anyway.

    Actually, I wish I was in France right now. (it's raining in Austin)


    How could someone take that theory seriously??

    How do you know, though? I have no doubt the U.S. military had nothing to do with the attacks, but I can't back it up with anything more than patriotic faith. For a lot of people, faith isn't enough proof.

    Because Bush never allowed investigation into attacks, people are going to speculate. Until these speculations are snuffed out with hard facts and evidence, they'll just grow in intensity and fervor.

    As we all know, you repeat something long enough, it becomes fact.

    come on...because bush didn't turn over every white house document the conclusion is, "the us military probably planned it?" that's ridiculous. you can doubt some things, sure...you may say the white house was negligent...i'd disagree, but at least that's not an entirely goofy argument. but the idea that the military puposely planned and carried this event out is a whole other ball of wax

    it's not???

    Meyssan is the author of a one-time French best seller, "9-11: The Big Lie," claiming that no plane ever crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, and that the attacks were plotted by a faction within the U.S. military.


    then what did he say???

    Of course it is, but when the WH fails to start an independant investigation like has been done for everything from Pearl Harbor to Vietnam to Clinton's use of cigars, people are going to come out of the woodwork with their outrageous conspiracy theories.

    The point is that an investigation should have been held and still should.

    But how are we going to prove to the nuts that this wasn't the case? I would think the administration would want ALL of the facts aired for all to see, just like we did for Kennedy, Pearl Harbor, and Watergate. When something as horrible as 9/11 happens, there should be a thorough, public investigation.

    andy -- i'm not arguing those points...not at all. but because we don't know does not give someone the warrant to just make crap up.

    i personally believe aliens carried out the attack to get the attention to janet reno, whom they all find sexually attractive. of course, i have no proof of that...but my book comes out next month, and it should be a bestseller.

    That did it. You just became the 2 of diamonds, bub. :D

    Really? Are you sure that it was the White House that started investigating Clinton? Maybe you should think about that a little harder.

    Wouldn't that be Obstruction of Justice? Hey, what about: "It depends on what the meaning of is is...."
