Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

We question the credentials of this Robert Bowman character. How could he have worked on "Star Wars" under Ford and Carter when the program wasn't launched until Reagan? Also, his website indicates he is a follower of the so-called United Catholic Church, part of the generally reactionary "Traditionalist" schism. This doesn't necessarily delegitimize what he has to say about 9-11, but it is potentially a little creepy, at least. Yes, many Traditionalists are merely nostalgic for the Latin mass, but the movement has also served as a rallying point for neo-fascists of the clerical variety, as have noted. And speaking of wingnuts, did you happen to notice the book being sold at the conspiranoid demo entitled 9-11, the Great Illusion: Endgame of the Illuminati? And these guys demand the New York Times take them seriously?
And who writes their slogans? "Figure it out, It's not hard, Nine-11 was an inside job"? Since when does "hard" rhyme with "job"?
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
