Interesting

With the recent trial of al-Qaida terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui and the description of the events from Flight 93 heard in the court room, I've been thinking about 9-11 a lot recently. There was plenty of coverage of the planes that slammed into the twin towers and considering the mind boggling number of deaths, it's understandable there was a lot of talk and coverage of that tragedy. The same about the crashing of flight 93, because of the heroic efforts of the passengers and tragic end. But I always wondered about the terrorist attack on the Pentagon. It was overshadowed a bit by the other attacks that day but I always wondered why more stress wasn't put on the crash into the Pentagon basically because it's the central location of all our military big wigs and it just seemed to me that if you could hit the Pentagon, well then of course other spots were more vulnerable. It just didn't seem like this fact cause as much of a wake up call in the press, I mean the symbolism of an attack on our military headquarters just seemed major news. Anyway, Michelle sent me this link today and now I've got other questions. The first being, are the facts presented here true? If so, why haven't we as citizens already been presented this information ages ago. What actually happened that day and why does there appear to be a cover up? Why have the surveillance tapes not been released? What was gained by not releasing this information? And my biggest question of all WTF?

Anyway, just asking.
