One Sucker's Saga, Part V: Informational Asymmetry

History is the version of past events
that people have decided to agree upon.

– Napoleon Bonaparte


This should be the shortest of the Sucker's Saga, though it covers just about all you readers need to know about the attacks of September 11, 2001. I'm not going to dredge up "proof" about demolition techniques based on videos of exploding windows. I'm not going to take an NPR reporter's extemporaneous on-the-scene observation literally and try to spin a case from that. Heck, I'm not even going to recap what happened that day, simply because it's not necessary.

That's right, folks, all the proof that something was amiss in the months leading up to those attacks would have -- not should have -- been obvious to any intelligence agency worth its salt . . . ( and likely was. )
