There are some very valid points in that Counterpunch piece but what she misses - unsurprisingly - is just how many of these events have been black ops. If people really cared about tragedies such as this and really wanted to understand them they would do their own investigation and critical thinking, rather than blindly accepting the first thing CNN tells them that reinforces their existing worldview and gives them "closure".
The sad fact is that the vast majority of people simply don't care enough to do that.

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
