Really? So the thousand interview in dozens of countries and millions of pages of documents was what? This was the largest investigation the United States government has ever done. The book they released to the public - that was only a summary.

Odd, because this morning the attacks in Afghanistan was by the Taliban, not Al Qaeda.

How many freedoms have I list? Let's see. I can still travel from state to state in my car without having to file paperwork in advance and get permission. I can still get on an airplane showing nothing more than my driver's license, and after a quick search - which has been the standard since I was born forty years ago - I can travel anywhere in the US. They still need a warrant to enter my house, and I don't live in fear of the police at any level.
So what freedoms have I lost? Nothing at all has changed for me.

Sure, because all of the oil the United States gets comes from the Middle East, right?
You do understand the largest exporters of oil to the US is Canada and Mexico, right?
We tend to think that all oil comes from the Middle East. This is not true. The United States, Russia, Cannda - are huge producers of oil. This isn't about oil at all. 9/11 and Afghanistan has nothing to do with oil. At all.
