Please pay very close attention to the news cycle after the next attack.

The next terror attack that all our officials say is coming later this year.

1. Don't automatically believe the initial reports, for at least a few months after the event.

2. Don't automatically look for conspiracy theories, but don't turn your mind off either.

3. Don't let them get away with anything, make notes of everything, and above all, pay attention.

4. Always remember: THEY LIE.

1. 5. Before accepting their villain, look to see who benefits

If it helps the junta outta tight: diverts attention from their crimes or helps them consolidate power, take that into consideration before believing their explanation for who did it.

2. All our officials are saying that a terrorist attack...

...will happen later this year?

I hadn't heard that.

If something happens prior to the election....yikes.

4. I can accept everything but #2....

A terrorist act by definition is a conspiracy:

conspiracy n. , pl. -cies . An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

Unless it's pulled off by an individual person, highly doubtful.

5. I can accept that.

Technically the 9/11 was a conspiracy, no doubt about it. But when you tack on the word theory, you're in speculation land. But people will always theorize and speculate, and it sometimes takes a century for the truth to come out.

To an admiring Bog!

10. I'm serious, we should all pay very close attention this year.

CBS carried the story this week verifying that many top govt. officials expect another attack this fall.

12. Are you suggesting we didn't pay very close attention 9-11

I think DU paid extremely close attention to the goings on of the Administration from day one...There are some researchers here that can blow minds with their abilities.

13. Not at all.

But the other day when Zarqi bought the farm, almost everyone was willing to jump on the official story. Yes, he appears to be dead, but 3 days later, radically different versions of the story are coming to the surface.

And let's face it, millions still believe Saddam did 9'11. I'm just reminding folks to not let the shock and grief blind them.
