Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime

Gabriel Ash weighs in on the question of the Israel Lobby issue, especially its importance in driving the Iraq war by using the stock markets to quantify the different gains made by Israel, the oil industry and the defense industry. He concludes that the war in Iraq has been a measurable success to all its backers. See (http://dissidentvoice.org/Apr06/Ash04.htm). This unusual approach, based on the research of economists Nitzan and Bichler, puts Ash at ods with both the Chomskian position that the Lobby is irrelevant and the opinion of those who see Israel as the real force and beneficiary of the Iraq war.

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.
