I merely made an observation on the content of the link you provided w.r.t. subject of “dancing Israelis”.

As for implications, they can be of any form possible but one will never know unless investigation is conducted. If there was an investigation that was carried out the way investigation in, say, whereabouts of various 9/11 suspects was done, I’d probably drop the subject. But, my understanding is, the investigation got abruptly stopped by White House at the time (2001/2002) and… well, that’s it.

I think it is perfectly valid and rational to point to questions unanswered because many people do not recall very well. It was briefly in the news and then never mentioned again.

So, for your recollection pleasure, this [link](http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7545.htm) is a transcript of Carl Cameron report on FOX News. My favourite tidbit is this:

HUME: Carl, what about this question of advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on 9-11? How clear are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known something?

CAMERON: It’s very explosive information, obviously, and there’s a great deal of evidence that they say they have collected — none of it necessarily conclusive. It’s more when they put it all together. A bigger question, they say, is how could they not have know? Almost a direct quote.

The reason this is “conspiracy” is not that the whole story is made up with malicious intent but rather because even though the basis for investigation was there and initial facts gathered, the full investigation and reporting on it has been prevented.

I just want to make sure that the story itself did not come out of vacuum as you and others suggest.

Now, you can go back to your regularly scheduled Uninhibited Bashing of ‘em Faithfull Conspirators™ program.
