Instincts about 9/11

Interesting long interview with George Bush in the Telegraph here. There was one in the paper today with Blair, following on.

I’ll do a longish review of the David Ray Griffin books when I’ve finished the second – probably at the end of this week – but I just wanted to say that having pretty much exhausted my ‘head’ patience – ie explored all the things I’m interested in sufficiently – I find I can’t fully swallow all the “9/11 truth” conspiracy stories. I think there are legitimate questions to raise, which need answering, but I find both a) the official story unbelievable, and b) the conspiracy story largely unbelievable. I just can’t believe that publicly elected officials (ie Bush) could be that wicked. So the answer must be ‘mu’ (unask the question).

I’m also convinced of the civilisational clash between the West and the Islamists, and that that is one of the fundamental truths revealed by 9/11. So there is a large part of the official narrative of recent years that I buy into, even if it does play to the interests of the ‘new Pearl Harbour’ crowd.
