I still don't see why CD physical-evidence based analysis cannot coexist alongside deep whodunnit analysis. Different things appeal to different people; as slimmouse said many pages back I know quite a few people who are completely convinced by the physical evidence alone. Maybe that is lazy, but maybe they are visual learners. The physical evidence doesn't do it for me completely, but taken in conjunction with all the other anomalies (wargames, put options, Hoffman Aviation, etc) it really seals the deal for me. In other words, one train of thought would probably never have been enough to put me over the edge into this crazy twilight zone of conspiracy research and activism (I've have done some activism, none really red-faced, but have petered out a bit these days I am sorry to say...)
And, 8bit, when is your book coming out? I'd really like to read all you have researched laid out in a tight, organized form. Sometimes it seems like your posts zing and zang around a bit and are a little difficult to follow... if you need a ghost-writer... I suggest Jeff

You know, it's hard for me to admit, but it's pretty hard to convey my actual thought process on forums. I realize I come off very UN-scholary, scattershot, etc.
I'm a fan of a good thriller/procedural like most people. And while I appreciate their being fictional books like the new Shell Game, there really hasn't been that many gripping books about 9/11. They are either too dry, or too focused on the official al Qaeda alone meme.
So yeah, in between my work as a musician, graphic designer, "real job", cartooning/comic illustration, partying and working on film projects...I've decided to get going on a serious 9/11 historical narrative done in a more
thriller sort of vein. You really have to pour meticulously though many many "dry" books on al Qaeda, terror financing, etc. to find nuggets of useful information that matches with other evidence and trails. The problem is a concise narrative, because seven different media reports may report seven different things. For instance I do not believe any of the "19 hijackers" turned up alive.
I'm certainly about the physical evidence of the day...I mean it's pretty eerie when an NFL football player says the Flight 93 passengers were loaded from the tarmac and several passengers asked to be left off the plane. Even eerier that reports from the cell calls mention bombs going off in Flight 93 and pilots and stewardesses tied up and the use of guns.
The use of artificial intelligence in the 9/11 attacks is another major interest to me, touched on by Indira Singh, Rupert Murdoch, Richard Grove and others.
Basically what I see is 9/11 as a million piece jigsaw puzzle, scattered from a cargo plane. And it's quite a challenge to try and find every single piece and see where it fits.
I believe Mohamed Atta, Ziad Jarrah, Hani Hanjour, Nawaf al-Hamzi, Khalid al-Midhar, etc were all real people with real provable lives. This is something I think many of the truth movement wish not to look at, as it shocks them to see that yes...many of these guys were in the company of Afghani training camps and Osama himself. But the web is very very murky, I'm just trying to make sense of it all.
So yeah, I do zing and zang like an autistic pinball machine on Robin Williams crack when I hickup ideas on the internet. I'm trying to work on that, as that's quite different than how I write.
Ultimately I see 9/11 in a kind of comparative mythology and religion, worthy of Campbell or Jung dissection. These narratives have beginnings and ends, as much as they fit into a bigger framework, not merely isolated Fibonacci sequences. This is also why I see 9/11 partially in an esoteric looking glass that spirals backwards into antiquity.
To make a 9/11 book work to the viewer, it essentially has to follow
a "good guy", a "bad guy", and an anti-hero. 9/11 has all of that, with the ultimate geo political spy intrigue. Just the story surrounding Melvin Lattimore, Ali Mohamed, Nick Berg, Nawaf al-Hamzi and John O'neil is enough to make one's head spin.
