The Bush Admin/US Govt has sanctioned terrorism as an instrument of power
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 12:48 PM by spooked911
From a pure standpoint of morality-- if these people are immoral enough to institute a torture regime in the US*, doesn't this indicate that these people were capable of orchestrating 9/11?

*Ignoring for now their multiple other crimes.

1. 9-11 was Operation Northwoods V2.0 - New & Improved!
Anyone who can't see it is blind. Period.

4. No it does not
First of all it is not at all clear there is a torture regime in the US. But it is clearly possible to make a moral case for torture. I am not advocating torture but merely pointing out it is easy to make the case that torturing someone to prevent a terrorist act can be rationalized. This has been going on since recorded history using a greater good argument of some sort.

Orchestrating 9/11 can of course be morally rationalized by the insane as humans have the capacity to rationalize almost any atrocity, but where is the moral justification for 9/11? It does not exist. How does orchestrating 9/11 serve a greater good ,or any other philosophical framework?

Being immoral in one area does not indicate you are immoral in others.

Take a Catholic priest issue in the RC church right now. Many of these highly immoral and criminal men where extremely moral and pious in other area of their life.

5. Iron-clad proof that the US Government could not have been responsible for 9/11:
The plan worked.
