Gerald Posner, maybe?

Remember his triumphant book, *Case Closed*? Back in the '80s, that was supposed to be the final word about the assassination. (After 9/11, Posner wrote *Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11*, which predictably blames 9/11 on bureaucratic incompetence.)

The rise of the 9/11 truth research is an opportunity to reexamine many other extremely fishy events in American history: the Maine, Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin, the USS Liberty, the 1993 WTC bombing, the Waco massacre, the Oklahoma City bombing, the anthrax scare, and the plane crash of Paul Wellstone are some that quickly spring to mind.

I liken 9/11 to the 4-minute mile episode in sports history. For those of you unfamiliar with this, let me explain. At one time, it was widely assumed that nobody could or would ever run a mile in as little as four minutes. People would get fairly close, but no matter how much talented runners practiced, they just couldn't get there. They kept hovering at over four minutes. This went on for many years.

Then one day, unexpectedly, somebody ran the mile in four minutes. At that point, something happened. Within weeks, several others beat four minutes. Soon many others were going under four minutes, and top runners were progressively bringing the record further and further below that.

What was going on? Runners had previously had a mental block concerning the round figure of four minutes, and at some subliminal level wouldn't give themselves permission to run the mile as fast as they really could. Once the 4-minute barrier was broken, competititive runners stopped selling themselves short.

Similarly, the mistakes and sheer audacity of the 9/11 operations have opened countless minds to the reality of government psychological operations. They're able to see past 9/11 itself. And when the time comes when even the political and media establishments concede 9/11 truth, the truth about these other events can then also be laid bare, whereupon the government can be made to subpeona witnesses and give over the records it has withheld these many years.

Just the second biggest terrorist crime in the USA:

It is quite hilarious that the study by the Eglin Air Force Base concluded that there had to have been several detonation devices inside the building:

"After the attack, US Air Force explosives experts at Eglin Air Force Base tested the official story by conducting a study of a three-story structure that resembled the Murrah Building structurally. The study, known as the Eglin Blast Effects Study (EBES), concluded that the explosive force from the ANFO bomb could not possibly have caused the pattern of destruction seen in the Murrah Building."

The Congress naturally buried the report.

And this was released in August 2001:

Oklahoma City terrorism report released
6-year investigation concludes government 'concealed' truth

"After six years in the making, the Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee, headed up by former Oklahoma state representative Charles Key, has announced the long-awaited release of its final report, which differs sharply and dramatically from the official conclusions of the federal government. [...] In a separate development, Key said he is still trying to arrange a meeting with Attorney General John Ashcroft to discuss "improprieties" in the case that he uncovered while the OKC committee's investigation was still underway."
