Oh, good... a discussion ensues... Thank you, gentlemen, and I look forward to all and continuing contributions.
I have yet to totally analyze and understand what went on within me around 9/11. First, I have to laugh at the concept of the government not knowing anything when, indeed, the news paages were "screaming red" enough that I sent blessings to my daughter -- then a grad student in Queens -- on the evening of 9/10 with the song and lyrics to an old jazz standard "For All We Know". Since then, I've been recovering... The event certainly re-opened all the old deep political event wounds, and I've had the same wifely discussions ... mine say "denial is a gift from God", but I can't put it away that easily. I have to bring it out regularly for exercise and fresh air.
The topic is greater than me or my understanding. I would like to read those articles, and similar ones related, and here from others.
As for Charlie Sheen, if he is our most visible and effective spokesman for 9/11 Truth, we are in trouble. There are certainly many others whose decorum and intellect are close to unimpeachable. John McMurty in Canada comes to mind, as do many others. The "granddaddy", it is clear, is Dr. David Ray Griffin. I am biased, having read many of his books (one autographed), corresponded with him, been to see him speak, and asked him a question from the audience. His book "Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11" is the equivalent of James Douglass' "JFKU". The real truth of the matter is that the best spokesperson(s) for 9/11 Truth (and similar truths) are all of us... dispersed, fibrillating, yet learning to act in concert....
The best single "workbook", if you will, for the topic that I have found thus far is Carloyn Baker's book "Sacred Demise". Carolyn was a practicing psychotherapist, has a degree in ecopsychology (whose best work in my opinion is Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World by Bill Plotkin), and who was for a time Mike Ruppert's locum tenems webmaster.
Carolyn holds forth at http://carolynbaker.net/site/ , "Speaking Truth to Power". You can read about the book, and some of the reviews (including mine -- I call it a vade mecum, a talisman) here: http://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Demise-Spir...roduct_top
