| It's the tone in which the original comment was made. It wasn't in my opinion made in any malicious fashion. It is one of the many rumors, conjectures, theories about 9/11 that go around the internet, rumor mill and water coolers. Some make sense and some are just a bunch of you know what. Not everything that includes a reference to Jews is anti-Semitic to all of us and we have a right to express that thought without being jumped on. You expressed yourself fairly in your original post. Bringing in Jenin, Oil and who only knows what else in Abducted Bookworm post is what I find inappropriate and offensive in a post about a memo on 9/11 from Bush's administration. If that's a legitimate subject than open a thread on it..it really doesn't have anything to do with that memo.
