Reporters were unable to find any evidence for his story

Except there was a Washington Post story from Sept 2001 that verified it.

How is it that average people can find these facts but our vaunted "Journalists" at the "newspaper for record" the NY Times cannot?

"Reporters were unable to find any evidence for his story"

A good place to look is all the news sites from the days right after...

Because “We have always been at war with Eastasia”.

They did not verify actual cheering in NJ by thousands ... the Post verified that police were called because of reports of people on roof tops cheering. The police were never able to find the people who supposedly were cheering.

I do remember news reports showing people in Gaza celebrating. It was horrible. So many of the people in the mid East hate us and hate all of western civilization.

Re Trumps saying he say thousands of Muslims in NJ cheering ... I do believe this is probably ‘fog of war’ memories. Everything was so unbelievably tense and scary back then for people all over the country. But I would imagine even more so for people in the tri state area.

FTLOG ... I was freaked out the first time I heard a small airplane noise for weeks after the fact.
