Re: Habeus Corpus - rip
Total spin. Absolute total spin on 'number 4'.
On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act," according to the poll conducted by Zogby International. The poll of New York residents was conducted from Tuesday August 24 through Thursday August 26, 2004. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/-3.5.
The poll is the first of its kind conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy. Despite the acute legal and political implications of this accusation, nearly 30% of registered Republicans and over 38% of those who described themselves as "very conservative" supported the claim.
I already talked about this poll. It basically reads, Are you happy with how goverment dealt with 9/11, as well as do you think the goverment may have known about and not acted on it. Okay, as I said, I would be voting WITH THEM. Yes they knew. Yes they did what they always did. Nothing, or at least nothing of any great importance.
Now right after this poll, Zogby says this poll is asking about the Goverment's complicity in the attack. 'The poll is the first of its kind conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy.'
And as you've just made perfectly clear:
com‧plic‧i‧ty  /kəmˈplɪsɪti/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[kuhm-plis-i-tee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural -ties.
the state of being an accomplice; partnership or involvement in wrongdoing: complicity in a crime.
They spin a poll asking about how well the Goverment handled stopping the threat (and if the goverment had heard about it) into a poll declaring half of new yorkers believe the US goverment launched the attack.
As for the last poll I'd have voted for it as well. I have NO doubts the goverment has covered up things about the attack.
As for the actual details of the 9/11 conspiracy theory, if I wanted to discuss them I'd have posted in your other thread.
And zulu, no offense, but if your going to join the discussion, especially on my side, then please stop with personal attacks. This is not an arguement, and therefore these comments dont belong. This is a discussion. Respond to what bandu says, don't trash on him for actually saying it.
