The truth as the guilty see fit to tell

Ok, for those of you who don't know, for the past few weeks, there have been hearings regarding 9/11, and what could have been done to prevent it.
Of course, I have no faith in this sham.
These are the same scumbags who gave us the Warren report (about the assassination of JFK) and told us with a straight face that Oswald acted alone and there was no sign of a conspiracy. This, despite hundreds of credible people who could have testified otherwise.
I can't wait for the "Magic Bullet" that will come out of these hearings. What I mean by this is that I want to hear something so preposterous that it makes me laugh and cry at the same time because it is such a distortion of the truth. For those of you who don't know what the "Magic Bullet" was, it was a conclusion that the bullet that killed Kennedy entered his back, exited upwards through his neck, hit Governor John Connolly in the armpit, pierced his lung, exited and ended up in his wrist. Logical, right?
It's no small clue that the Kennedy files that are under wraps now are due to be released well after anyone involved in it is in their grave. And we are supposed to TRUST these people? I'm sorry, but I just can't do that. A government that would kill its own president would probably think nothing of 3,000 innocent civilians' lives on an otherwise beautiful September morning.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I see it as perfectly logical in a world where the liars tell you "the truth." I think 9/11 was allowed to happen. I think this for two reasons: One, it would give President Bush a blank check for waging war wherever U.S. interests see fit, and two, it would give us, however unbelievable, another reason to invade Iraq (it's the oil, stupid!). An event like this would get America on a nice war-footing too, which it did. I have to give him credit for that.
I hate what I see happening here. I hate what's happened to this country in the past few years in the name of greed. So what good is this whole sham of a hearing supposed to do?
Those in power already know the answers. They knew them all along.
