Good post ,SharpEye,,I'll bet the "sheep class" here on FR will be bashing this big time.

It's only a good post if you like "Aha! Gotcha!" articles about the U.S., and you don't care if it's true.

The director of the hospital in Dubai told Agence France Presse that bin Laden had never been a patient there.

The Paris-based International Herald Tribune suggested incorrect information may have been leaked by opponents in France to the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan. "Disinformation may have been planted ... to suggest a continuing covert linkage between the CIA and bin Laden," a French intelligence source told the Herald Tribune.

Personally, I blame CIA conspiracy hucksters in the United States for the fact that we no longer have an intelligence network capable of detecting "incomings" like Mohammed Atta. It does not surprise me, however, that said hucksters would attempt to blame the CIA itself for the consequences of their own treason, or for insisting that those who do not join them in gleefully bashing the United States are 'sheep.'

Tin-foil-hat goofballs are only amusing so long as their cackling is not having any serious conseqences. The gutting of the CIA by Sen. Church and others played a big role in allowing Atta & Co. to complete their mission. We need more Senator Church types like we need another Mohammed Atta.

"The director of the hospital in Dubai told Agence France Presse that bin Laden had never been a patient there."

Correct...bin Laden's MOTHER was a patient there, and he called her on the phone. He did not visit her.

As far as United and American go, American was losing some money, but nothing they were worried about. The unions at United were already worried about furloughs because United was doing so poorly. Both were losing in the hundreds of millions per quarter. Quoting one stock analyst doesn't mean much either. I'm sure you could find at least one idiot recommending Enron or Excite today.

Ditto what you said. I went to the site (in Canada) that this article came from and it is totally full of trash, including lots of Robert Fisk articles. They even have one story of how the Pentagon plans to attack the US to start a war with Cuba.

This is pure dis-information likely written in Cuba. The KGB used to be the source for this kind of crap back in the old days. I guess it keeps the tin foils tilted to the left happy, but no one with a brain is buying any of it.

@%#$ ... I knew I shoulda bought stock in Alcoa!

But I still think it was "the gunman on the grassy knoll" myself. ;^)

Frank Church is roasting on a spit in hell as we type.

I wish you would show up on all of these kinds of threads. For some reason, probably because I've known you (FReeperly) for so long, you always put my mind at ease.

I just believe you more.

I disagree. The idiots are never amusing. I never find unresolved personality disorders amusing.

And, this isn't all that good of a conspiracy story. I give it no more than a 6.4 on the TinFoilIndex. It would have scored better but there is a mandatory 2.5 point deduction for failing to mention the British Royal Family.
