After being called a Nazi 100 times, the 101st time is barely noticable. I did think leaving AOL chatrooms would mean the end of it but FR is slowing reaching AOL depths.

What do you think about the non-cooperation? Had I been picked up after seeing 9/11 happen, I would have given the FBI my life history, offered to take a polygraph--I would have volunteered to do anything they wanted so they could rule me out and find the people who killed thousands of Americans.

But these Israelis jerked our FBI around. They wasted a lot of law enforcement resources which could have been used to hunt down Muslim terrorists. Why?

It is insulting that people bandy that term around so carelessly, especially those who wouldn't know a Nazi if it bit them in the ass. The REAL Nazis dragged Germany out of its post-WWI nightmare and plunged it -- and the rest of the world -- into new horrors that were infinitely worse. They remain, for those willing to learn the lessons, as a terrifying example of what happens when a cult becomes a government.

I read your posts. You have your opinions, but I have yet to see you spout Nazi slogans, and don't expect to.

That's the $64,000 question. I find it hard to believe these guys were nothing more than ignorants abroad, but it is possible. Their non-cooperation might have been based on the advice of attorneys, or, again, simple ignorance. It's possible the FBI and other three-letter agencies kept them so long simply because they were busy but didn't want to let these guys go before squeezing them a little. There are many possibilities, but the Israeli cover story is hard to buy in light of everything.

Sensationalistic as this article is, there is still enough there to raise reasonable concerns about these Israelis and what they were really doing here. I truly hope more info comes out about this and several other puzzling cases that surround 9/11.

The only thing I'm sure of is that the whole story is not public, and probably never will be.

I have noticed over the past several years that there seems to be an orchestrated effort of groups at this site to swarm into postings when Israel is challenged. They are not here to debunk the postings with facts, but with smears and innuendos. I believe most of these individuals belong to fringe groups that could give a damn about America. Israel has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar too many times spying on our country for people shout "anti-semite," anytime an issue is broached. In other words your dealing with a bunch of Zealots who are on a mission to destroy any one who questions...and the facts be damned.

But Larry, that's only because the FBI was abusing them (per letter home to mommy re no kosher food)

No kosher food no cooperation . . . simple, understandable

You ARE a dumbshit, Larry!

Well I've been called a Jew and other "insults" for supporting Israel. These things work both ways. Before I went online for the first time a little over a year ago, I never heard the word "Jew" used as an insult.
