Why do I even bother?

Why do I even bother? I can rant and rave about Barrie Zwicker's dishonesty and half-truths on this blog all I want...and it seems like it's all for naught, since Michele Landsberg gets space in Canada's highest-circulation newspaper to write a love letter to Zwicker, rehashing nearly every "damning inconsistency" about 9/11 Zwicker was able to lift from Michael Ruppert and Michael Rivero. ("Why did the United States Air Force fail to scramble interceptor jets — in defiance of all long-standing rules and well-established practice — for almost two hours after it was known that an unprecedented four planes had been hijacked?")

Arrrrrrrgh. (Here's Bill Herbert's debunking of the "no-planes-scrambled" allegation. He also notes that Ruppert claimed the Air Force waited only 50 minutes from finding out about the hijacking to launch fighter jets, so God only knows where Zwicker and Landsberg are getting "two hours." Before long, they'll probably start saying there were no fighter jets launched on 9/11, and that the ones we saw on TV were just computer-generated.)
