I'm not mad at you for being confused, Void, but whenever I meet someone who believes that kind of ludicrous conspiracy junk, whether it's right wingers worrying about black UN helicopters, leftists thinking GW Bush went to war to help his oil buddies, hate mongers rambling about Zionist plots...

Well, we know about the Al Qaeda training facility in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places. But that's a far cry from saying that Al Qaeda didn't do it -- whether they had support from governments or not.

Sorry, I heard it from everyone else in the world first. Except her name is really Hillary Rodham. You heard it here first.
