    The guy that leaked the Pentagon Papers isn't a heavy hitter?
    How, exactly, does a guy who leaked government documents bring credibility to your 'theories'?

    The guy actually leaked them for a very good, valid reason. The government lied their fucking asses off to us about the Vietnam War, and thanks to him we discovered it. Among other things.

    My point is: He leaked the Pentagon Papers. What does that have to do w/ 9/11? He distrusts the goverment, fine. Can he comprehend a Physics Textbook?

    My biggest problem with the disciplinary action is that there's no definitive proof that the kids were drinking alcohol. Now obviously when you see teenagers with red cups dancing around, there's most likely some alcohol involved, but what if one or two of those kids chose not to drink for personal reasons and only had soda in the cup? I'd have no problem with the school alerting the parents so they can come to their own conclusions, talk to their kids and decide the proper punishment, but for a school to essentially convict every kid without any concrete proof that they did anything illegal sends a pretty shitty message IMO.
    Here's an interesting tidbit of information that the local media hasn't really been forthcoming about: it would appear that 42 students provided testimony of the incident to the administrators who doled out the punishment. Now, that's not definitive proof, but it's pretty damned close.

    I'm also hearing that the 13 kids who got disciplined signed a no-drinking contract with the team or whatever the hell it was they were involved with. I could be wrong, but if that's the case, then they did break school rules, and it's within the school's rights to punish them.

    You are correct.

    I didn't realize that since it wasn't in the article. It certainly is pretty definitive proof, but now what I want to know is what kind of shitty high school has 42 kids who'd narc on their classmates? That's so not wizard that I'd get Diablo to fry up those home skillets.

    In that case, the school does have a right to get involved since they have testimony. My problem was that it sounded like they had nothing but red cups to back up the accusations.

    Okay, I now see what your saying. But with the exception of a few quotes from some of the people in the article I more so got the feeling that many of them were questioning why our response to the attacks was so incompentant. They're right: why the hell did the Pentagon's defense systems not shoot down the plane heading for it? Me I don't question the WTC attacks, but I do think there's plenty fishy about the Pentagon attack and I do think there's a good chance that the plane that crashed in Penn. wasn't forced down by the passangers attacking the terrorists, but instead was shot down.

    Milky Joe is a firm believer in the controlled demolition theory, among other shit.....

    EDIT: Show me where the Pentagon has these defense systems.

    In a nice bit of irony, Nifong files for bankruptcy (while Duke lax players smile, throw a big party, complete with strippers).
