- OUR VIEW
-
- It was only a matter of time before the nut cases began
to promote a conspiracy theory about Sept. 11. And it was easy to predict
what form it would take: "The U.S. government had prior warning about
the attack but let it take place in order to have an excuse for retaliating,
because waging war profits certain companies that would in turn pay huge
sums to certain government officials who turned a deaf ear to the warning."
(See Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories at www.conspiracy-nuts.com.)
-
- But who could have guessed that the most prominent nut
would have been our own U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.)? (OK, so some
of you would have guessed. She does have an embarrassing history of infamous
remarks.)
-
- McKinney has called for an investigation into whether
President Bush and other government officials had notice of the Sept. 11
attack but did nothing to prevent them, adding that "persons close
to this administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new
war."
-
- "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President
Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the
attack of 9/11," McKinney said in a California radio interview. "A
complete investigation might reveal that to be the case."
-
- Theoretically, she's right. But here's another theory:
-
- While there is no proof that McKinney is fronting for
the terrorist group al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, nor proof that she receives
funding from foreign countries, an investigation might reveal that to be
the case as well. One theory is as good as another.
