Neo-Con Paranoia

To further bolster my argument below about 9/11, the neo-con Charles Krauthammer writes fervently about the need to castigate all doubters of the official 9/11 story as dangerous paranoids (like the recently fired white house aid Van Jones).

How interesting that neo-cons are themselves so paranoid about 9/11 'truthers'. One more good reason to doubt the conventional wisdom. If the 'truthers' have no evidence, why bother to fight them so hard? I love it.

In the White House no more. Why? He's gone for one reason and one reason
only. You can't sign a petition demanding not one but four investigations of the
charge that the Bush administration deliberately allowed Sept. 11, 2001 -- i.e.,
collaborated in the worst massacre ever perpetrated on American soil -- and be
permitted in polite society, let alone have a high-level job in the White House.

Unlike the other stuff (see above), this is no trivial matter. It's
beyond radicalism, beyond partisanship. It takes us into the realm of political
psychosis, a malignant paranoia that, unlike the Marxist posturing, is not
amusing. It's dangerous. In America, movements and parties are required to
police their extremes. Bill Buckley did that with Birchers. Liberals need to do
that with "truthers."
