WTC7
Ok,

Look, we all know that George W Bush is bestest-buddies with Osama Bin Laden's family (did you know Osama's brother was actually standing on the balcony of the White House with Dubya on the evening of September 10th? Or that Dubya's myriad failed business attempts/baseball team, etc, have been porrped up by investement by the Bin Laden family?). Yes,Osama is supposedly "estranged" from his family, but seriously if there is nothing to hide, why did Dubya use NSA flights to get the Bin Laden clan out of the USA and over to Paris to avoid any negative attention, in direct contravention to the "no fly" rules put into action after 9/11 and also preventing the FBI asking them any questions about where Osama might be (this caused the head of the FBI to resign..well, that and Dubya insisting that they find a way to blame Iraq, regardless of the evidence).

WTC7 housed the files relating the enquiry into the Enron fraud case (amongst others), which implicated people such as Dick Cheney and others of Dubya's closest cabal - why is it that the FBI didn't have a single back-up of such evidence outside of this building? In fact, that and the possible Cheney/Halliburton fraud case were all but wiped out by 9/11. Add to that the increased control Cheney, Dubya and their cronies now have over the public (thanks PATRIOT act!), and it's almost like the people who benefitted the most were a President whose ratings were in tatters, a bunch of old-money fraudsters in the Presidents' closest advisory roles and the Right-Wing Neo-Cons who wanted a return to the Cold War era of control and government funded military projects that allow huge scope for siphoning money and international arms sales (as well as power over the populace). Looked at with non-hysterical, non-flag-waving, non"USA!USA!USA!"-chanting eyes, suddenly a diabetic Arab living in a cave doesn't seem to benefit quite so much, especially when a) he was funded by the CIA for years and, b) Afghanistan is now, has alwyas been and mostl likely always will be a war-zone only a short step out of the Stone Age. Whereas the USA's flagging economy and rabid fear of building a car that does more than 20MPG, means that the current situation has got US businesses with a stranglehold on Iraqi refinery infrastructure (Halliburton), a huge amount of funding being pumped into defense (welcome back, Star Wars - have you ever read what HAARP can do to the atmosphere?) and, yay, an escalation of hostilities with the former Soviet Union (and, no, Dubya, Putin is not scared - he's as crazy as you and we're likely to all be glowing in the dark because of it). Happy days are, indeed, here again...
