I just found out about Nick Berg, the guy who got beheaded on video in iraq, and it's weird. He goes, gets detained by the military, he gets out and instead of getting on a plane he drives to Baghdad where is captured.

But it just so turns out he's friends with the 9/11 hijacker? Wtf guys

    I don't think this is a bad question, but what do you gain from digging deep into this?

    I would err on the side of "it was a total inside job", but the applications of that, if it's true, aren't really different than "the goverment was aware of 9/11 prior and allowed it to happen." They've openly admitted to that, it's something even your average lib is willing to get on board with, and if true, should result in the execution of the entire Bush administration and permanent surveillance of their parents/children. If the CIA did or didn't cause this, would it change what should happen to the organization?

      We shouldn't investigate anything the national security state may have done since we already know its modus operandi, then? Let's just stop looking into Capitalist abuses since we already know that they're all abusive. Stop investigation of corrupt politicians since we already know they're all corrupt. No point looking into American war crimes since we already know they happen.
