Is it possible that the people you are quoting are just as mistaken by another of the same name? How do they 'know' they are still alive? I can find no evidence that they are, just people saying they are.

Fatsom's BBC atrticle covers it quite well. These are the men implicated in the attacks, and these men are still alive. Several of them HAVE gone on TV in the ME, and have been identified by friends. What this suggests is there was identity theft, and we still have absolutely no idea who supposedly hijacked the planes. What does this imply? Well, it implies that a great deal of evidence surround the attack is suspect, specifically the intel on the motives and capabilities of the supposed hijackers. Even the links to OBL would have to be in question if we had no idea who the hijackers were.
"But Will, you brilliant man, Osama admitted to planning the attacks! I saw him speaking it in Arabic on CNN, being translated by some british guy!!"
Basically, yes. Think about that, though. At first, no one took responsibility, then after a few weeks OBL takes responsibility? Also, do you think he might have a motive to lie? I certianally think so. Why would a known terrorist want to take advantage of the ultimate vehicle for his propoganda?

will, i thought you wanted to direct this a bit more orderly, or was that a different 9/11 thread?

That was the thread in Politics which I started. I didn't start the "what happened on 9/11" thread here in Paranoia. Here in Paranoia, I imagine we are allowed to make bigger leaps and such.
