Originally posted by ivanhoeIMO it is in the interests of certain governments to mention the word 'terrorism' as often as possible, wether to connect it with or deny connection with any current topic. As long as they do the population will be on edge and nervous, and easier to persuade/control.
What I find interesting is that they come up with all sorts of explanations of what happened and they are sure about one thing: It was not because of terroristic activities. But how do they know when the investigation into these events have not even yet begun ?
Why is it that they refuse to declare Bin Laden & Saddam as dead. "We haven't found the bodies"? Who'd expect to when Bin Laden had half a mountain dropped on him by bunker busters? Saddam got off lightly with just a large building on his head, but either way I don't think they're going to be having open cask funnerals if you get my meaning.
The vidoes & tapes released since their departure from public eye are obvious fakes? Be honest, would you have let any of them stand as testemony in a court of law? But every one has been labeled as "potentially valid".
I can only think that authorities are either afraid to say that they're dead just in case it's all been an elaborate ruse an they pop up from underneath the rubble, or more sinisterly they want & need the threat that these leaders could be alive and plotting revenge to be in the publics mind. How better to get the children to behave than to let them believe there's a boogyman waiting under the bed?
Anyway, that's my little rant over. I'm leaving now before I get accused of being a Commie again.
