Weird that you can't pm me...<br><br>Just with all the intriguing material unearthed by amateur sleuths out there, Mohamed Atta provides enough material by himself to make quite a book, it seems to me.<br><br>The internet is an amazing research tool, no question about it. The only problem is that sites can be hacked, articles can be removed, and eventually, maybe the internet as we know it will disappear.<br><br>We need some hard copy, including of the supporting documents, such as articles, transcripts, photographs, etc., but also of the findings and conclusions that are now floating around in cyberspace.<br><br>History provides us with ample evidence that even when the ptb tried to destroy all subversive materials, some always survived, as long as they were written down and hidden.<br><br>Think of the Greek philosophy that was burned throughout Europe and Byzantium; think of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi parchments, the letters and correspondence that surface to expose the official story as a lie -- these are the life's blood of historical research.<br><br>We're always bitching about how helpless we feel, how keyboard jockeys are just blowing off steam but not doing anything constructive..<br><br>Why not collaborate in writing a book? As a first step, we could compile the research, post our findings as they come up, and print them. <br><br>The second step would be to actually write the book.<br><br>The third would be to publish it, maybe on the net first, since that's cheaper and easier than finding a willing publisher, or, ideally, by publishing it through a small press and publicizing it through word of mouth and through skeptical fora like this one.<br><br>Just an idea. <p></p><i></i>
