I'm know there are a lot more things that I could take issue with in the Time article, but compared to the CBS/The Nation article which I just spent hours writing about, I don't have much to say besides dealing with this:
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a private, intimate affair compared with the attack on the World Trade Center, which was witnessed by millions of bystanders and television viewers and documented by hundreds of Zapruders. You would think there was enough footage and enough forensics to get us past the grassy knoll and the magic bullet, to create a consensus reality, a single version of the truth, a single world we can all live in together.
The magic bullet theory is YOUR THEORY, that is the official government theory. Yes, it would be nice to live in a world where we didn't have to resort to MAGIC THEORIES in order to explain the OFFICIAL VERSION.
Forensics? Is that like how EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR that was there that day in Dallas described A LARGE MASSIVE EXIT-WOUND in the back of Kennedy's head? In addition to the all the other wounds between Kennedy and Connelly that simply can't be explained with Oswald firing 3 shots from a 5th floor window. That is percisely why the official theory has to resort to MAGIC.
Or does forensics refer to fact that the WTC steel was quickly shipped off to China to be recycled, preventing a proper investigation? Instead, we got what Bill Manning of Fire Engineering (yes, there is a Fire Engineering magazine) called a "half-baked farce"
And then to have the audacity to bring up the Zapruder film, which clearly shows Kennedy getting his head blown off BACK AND TO THE LEFT. Fortunately thanks to Seinfeld this is immortalized now in our popular culture. Back and to left means Kennedy wasn't shot from the 5th floor window a couple hundred feet behind him.
It is literally insane. To write a 9/11 hit piece and then to bring up the magic bullet and Zapruder film.
Once again, to make it simple. When theories have to resort to magic, thats when you know they are in trouble.
