Former Rep. Ron Paul said he believes the U.S. government had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and has kept this information hidden in a classified section of the 9/11 Commission report.

Paul, who made the comments during a radio interview last Friday, also argued that the crimes of Osama bin Laden were “minor” compared to the harm the U.S. government has caused since the 2001 attacks.

“I believe that if we ever get the full truth [about 9/11], we’ll find out that our government had it in the records exactly what the plans were, or at least close to it,” said Paul, during the interview with Money and Markets host Charles Goyette. “You already mentioned that [the U.S. government] had been warned that something was going to happen.”

However, Paul said he doubted that Bush administration officials personally helped plot the attacks.

“Does that prove the fact that our president and others actually sat down and laid the plans and did this? I don’t think it does,” he said.

Paul also said the U.S. government has been more destructive than 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.

“Our own government did more harm to the liberties of the American people than bin Laden did,” said Paul. “[Bin Laden] was a monster himself, but that was minor compared to the damage done financially, the people that have died. And here we are, 24 years, and we’re still fighting a war in the pretense that had something to do with 9/11.”(continued)

I guess he doesn't want his own son to have a shot at something he couldn't get. LOL

The nutter is now sounding like a tinfoil democrat.

[Farmer Dean]

Sounds like his mind is hanging by a thread.Too bad really.

[what's up]

The Pauls are jokes.

The media loves to highlight them because they can be used to confuse conservatives mainly in Texas.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I don’t think they confused conservatives in Texas. I’d vote Ron Paul for Congress, but NEVER EVER EVER for Senate, let alone President. As one of 435, his voice is good. Dont’ EVER put a Paul in charge of anything though!!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Let's examine the context of Paul's statements. What is the federal government doing to Americans? EPA overreach? Homeland Security buying up ammunition and guns? Oppressive tax system? Opening to border to illegals?

If the apple fell anywhere near close to the tree, Rand Paul is off my list.

Shadow government within Bush’s government. They convinced Bush to overthrow Sadam, because of their bogus ‘yellow cake’/WMD LIE. What’s the name of that woman who FORCED the CIA and FBI NOT TO TALK TO EACH OTHER???
