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.

Conspiranoiacs are also jumping all over claims that the bodies of the attackers were conveniently found with lots of ID. E.g.:
Police found plenty of identification, including drivers' licences and bank cards, on the four men's bodies.
"They wanted people to know who they were," a security source told the Evening Standard. "They wanted to be martyrs." (Globe & Mail, July 14)
This is drawing obvious analogies to the seeming anomaly of a hijacker's passport surviving the WTC disaster and being found by the FBI in the rubble. E.g.:
Personal documents of all of them found at the scenes framing the patsies, just like paper passports of the hijackers found on 9/11. (Prison Planet)
Well, we agree—it is weird. But once again, why do the conspiranoiacs always have to overstate the case? PP uses the plural ("passports"), but only one supposed hijacker passport was found in the WTC rubble. It belonged to Satam al-Suqami, and confusion about more than one found passport stems from early erroneous accounts that it was Mohammed Atta's passport that was found. (Wikipedia)
Numerous conspiranoid sites (Newsrake, Rense, KurtNimmo) seem not to have got the word that these early accounts were wrong, and happily go on assuming that both al-Suqami's and Atta's were found.
People who take such dogmatic stances shouldn't play so fast and loose with the facts.

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.

The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
