Thierry Meyssan, the author of �9-11, The Big Lie,� is currently planning a US tour to promote his book, which claims that the attack on the Pentagon was a self inflicted wound to bolster the case for a war with Afghanistan. In essence, Meyssan is accusing the US government of killing 180+ innocent civilians.
The book was a best seller in France, and has even found 5,000 conspiracy nuts here in the US willing to to purchase a copy (probably on the required reading list over at the Democratic Underground). The best paragraph?
Meyssan, an activist with his own left-wing association called the �Voltaire Network,� says he did not actually travel to the United States to investigate his theories, but had researchers working for him. He said much of his book is based on public documents, newspaper articles and the Internet.
Gee, I wonder about the credentials of those "researchers". And we all know what a reliable source of information the internet is, right?

And how utterly stupid of him to think that we would welcome him on a tour to spout his assinine theory! He won't get out of NY alive? Try he won't get off of the airplane alive, remember - US citizens will probably be on the same plane as he will be. Even if he makes it off of the plane, customs should reject him and return his diseased ass to france (deliberately not capitalized!).
Second, as a former Democrat, I resent the comment regarding the 'Democratic Underground'. Party affiliation has nothing to do with patriotism. We have this asshole insulting the intelligence of US citizens, must we also go on the attack against each other? Let us all unite against this sorry bastard and stop fighting each other. Too bad we can't get a list of everyone who bought that book so that we can revoke their US citizenship and deport them all to france to live with the rest of the yellow pigs!
