Over the years, while blasting away at the government, I have received emails from some of these theorists what Osama bin Laden and other terrorists have to say should be respected and I get the feeling they want me to side with him.  Even Rosie O’Donnell stated on ‘The View’, “do not fear the terrorists…they are mothers and fathers” and I found that reprehensible.  Was she trying to humanize or imprint some form of humanity on those who chose to dehumanize the victims of 9/11?  Is she trying to humanize those who will continue in their cult like fashion to take the lives of innocent human beings?

 

Whether you’re al Qaeda, Hammas, the Irish Republican Army or any other terrorist organization, if you kill another human being, you are not deserving of any act of human kindness.  In watching the broadcasts of people jumping out of the Twin Towers to their deaths, do not ask me to feel any compassion when it comes to terrorists.  They deserve none.  Yes as a society we should give any detainee due process as we give due process to serial killers. But, I do think our compassion should and must go to the innocents they killed. 

 

After writing my last piece on 9/11, I was told by an editor of an alternative news site, Watch LOOSE CHANGE... you're not equipped to form a conclusion based on your personal opinion, Mary.  This is how I take that statement is that I am allowed an opinion if I do believe in these conspiracy theories.  If I challenge those that believe them, I am told I am not allowed any personal opinion.  I do believe I am allowed this differing opinion based upon what I have read, viewed and the information relayed to me by my source at Controlled Demolitions Incorporated.
