SF: I do not think Mr. al-Baluchi thinks that the United States is a bad country, as you seem to claim, although the fear bureaucracy in our country would have us believe that he does. In fact, I think he quite likes the United States from what I can tell. He does, however, think our policies are problematic. While this may not seem like much of a difference, it is an important one. He understands that Americans have lost control of their government, much the way that the Germans lost control of theirs. While we haven't yet gotten to 1939 Germany, we are in 1934 and counting. The soldiers stationed in Grand Central Station with M-16s for the past eight years are evidence of that. Are those soldiers stationed in Grand Central to protect us, or to protect others from us? September 11th was to America what the fire at the Bundestag was in Germany. Those who attacked us understood that very well on September 10th.


I do not know who thinks 9/11 is a "lie," whatever that means. 9/11 certainly happened, and Mr. al-Baluchi is readily willing to take responsibility for it. You seem to think that "9/11 Truth" will absolve Mr. al-Baluchi, but I don't agree with you. As I understand the 9/11 Truth movement, their beliefs would merely add additional codefendants to Mr. al-Baluchi's case by way of superseding indictments, but would do absolutely nothing to get him off of the hook for criminal culpability. If you rob a bank and are held solely responsible, you would still be responsible if you had had an accomplice (or 50) who was (were) also criminally liable.


I do not think it is appropriate for you to claim that you know what is in Mr. al-Baluchi's best interests. You don't know him, have never spoken with him, and are completely unaware of his goals and aspirations. To suggest otherwise is transparently self-serving. You merely want "9/11 Truth" views aired at his trial. If that's what you want, take an ad out in the paper, or make web postings. You should not presume to know what is in Mr. al-Baluchi's best interests. Mr. al-Baluchi will accomplish more by being convicted and being put to death than he ever could by being acquitted and freed. Where would the world be now had Jesus been acquitted by the Sanhedrin or otherwise been spared from the cross?

I am a writer living in bucolic Spokane, Washington. It wasn't always this way, back in the day I was a restless wanderer. I left home and traveled to straight to Europe, came back and hitchhiked across America. I joined a carnival, then the (more...)
