Bill, My thanks for your contributions to some very complicated financial discussions. You bring clarity to an area that is largely "Greek" to me. Because of your expertise in this area, and the many questions that remain in the 9/11 saga, I would like to ask you a question. I am wondering if you have read the two reports below by E.P. Heidner. To me the one thing that stood out about the coverage of 9/11 was no one was really asking the most important question: WHY. Heidner's hugely documented report goes into the possible reasons behind the event - not getting lost in the details of how it was pulled off. As in many crimes, if you follow the money, you often can end up with why something happened. Heidner seems to be an excellent tracker of the financial trail that led to 9/11 and beyond. (these links are the only ones I could find that still carry the reports) Now that I asked if you have read the report, Part 1 and Part 2, if you have I would like your opinion as someone who understands the financial arena. Thanks! http://www.israelshamir.net/Contributors/Collateral_Damage_911.pdf Collateral Damage (Part 2): The Subprime Crisis and the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001 http://www.israelshamir.net/Contributors/Collateral_Damage_Part_II_26122008.pdf
