But is that really enough?  If there were even more embarrassing facts that turned up about the intelligence community, would we really find out?  After two years of the subject being taboo, mainstream news may be starting to come back to life on this issue, although don&#8217;t hold your breath: in June, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/news\/feature\/2003\/06\/18\/911\/index_np.html\">Salon<\/a> published a fluffy article wondering why the current administration is trying to block ongoing investigations.  <\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>You have to ask yourself why we don&#8217;t hear about these stories on any of the national networks, because the stories are out there.  Political commentator <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikehersh.com\/Bush_and_Cheney_Block_911_Investigation_.shtml\">Mike Hersh<\/a> writes an article which is a little more substantial, complete with links to mainstream news stories, and radio host <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dougbasham.com\/9-11.html\">Doug Basham<\/a> maintains a page with more links.  <\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>This topic has given rise to entire on-line societies- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.911citizenswatch.org\/\">9-11 Citizens Watch<\/a> is sort of a portal tracking this ongoing effort, alongside the interestingly-named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.911pi.com\/main.htm\">The People&#8217;s Investigation of 9-11<\/a>.  Also interesting is the writers at<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.unansweredquestions.org\/\">Unanswered Questions<\/a> who have produced<br \/>\nthis provocative <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unansweredquestions.org\/images\/Small_9-11_Chart.gif\">Question chart<\/a> to put on web pages, and my favorite, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unansweredquestions.org\/timeline\/main\/dayof911.html\">detailed timeline of the events of 9-11<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>A little more aggressively political is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legitgov.org\/9_1_1_oddities.html\">Citizens for Legitimate Government<\/a> and their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legitgov.org\/9_1_1_oddities.html\">List of 9-11 &#8220;Oddities&#8221;<\/a>.  And while we&#8217;re venturing into the specifically anti-Bush category, there is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bushoccupation.com\/\">Resist the Bush Occupation<\/a> who are &#8220;Proud Americans Resisting the Neocon Right.&#8221;  These guys are intense!  And they have T-Shirts!<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about the cool paraphenalia you can generate to support your cause.
