President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11.
Mr. Bush said the matter should be dealt with by congressional intelligence committees.
CBS News Correspondent Bill Plante reports that Mr. Bush said the investigation should be confined to Congress because it deals with sensitive information that could reveal sources and methods of intelligence. Therefore, he said, the congressional investigation is "the best place" to probe the events leading up to the terrorist attacks.
"I have great confidence in our FBI and CIA," the President said in Berlin, adding that he feels the agencies are already improving their information sharing practices.
Mr. Bush's comments come after a two-day hearing on Capitol Hill with FBI director Robert Mueller and the agent who wrote the so-called "Phoenix memo" last summer warning about that Arab students training at U.S. aviation schools were linked to a militant Muslim group.
what i love about cretinrot's "logic" is that there were all these intelligence warnings about Islamic terror attacks, but when one occurs it was carried out by the US government. He also thinks no plane crashed into the pentagon, but also maintains that cheney gave stand down orders so that a plane could crash into the pentagon. Hilarious.

9. Using previous conspiracies as evidence to support their claims. This argument invokes scandals like the Birmingham Six, the Bologna station bombings, the Zinoviev letter and so on in order to try and demonstrate that their conspiracy theory should be accorded some weight (because it's “happened before”.) They do not pause to reflect that the conspiracies they are touting are almost always far more unlikely and complicated than the real-life conspiracies with which they make comparison, or that the fact that something might potentially happen does not, in and of itself, make it anything other than extremely unlikely.

the wonderful thing is though that as soon as you turn off the internet, these people disappear. there are very few of these morons in real life, thank god!
Yah, thank god, eh? Good thing they took care of that moron John F. Kennedy. It is no lie. What is logic? No feeling of superiority here, my friend. Everybody is because of their environments and influences, this is no "intellect" competition. Consciousness is the only thing that counts.

Ever heard of divide and conquer? No conspiracy theorist is of the same persona. I say it's just hunting down suppressed knowledge that the entire populace deserves to devour in. This ignorance is stinking really bad now.
The bold assumes that I don't reflect, when I reflect constantly, I'm always thinking, always stimulating my thoughts. My awareness is of high definition.
Who's to say it's EXTREMELY unlikely? WHO?! Somebody who has done no deep scan research, that's who. Reason why this all still holds weight is because the people who setup nazi germany are still here to this day. No idiots would try to take over the world in the light.

Great. Out of context quotations totally prove the conspiracy.

I can say a lot of things for those who believe so blindly in their corrupt government(s) and have many times already in this thread. What is really shocking is the vast abundance of sore losers beating the same story of tinfoil hat conspiracy garbage while still ignoring the thousands of so called facts that are absolutely completely wrong with the official fairy tale that was shoved down their throats.
The funny thing is these same people that criticize others for questioning "official" accounts from proven government/media liars believe more bull than anyone else.
Who's really wearing tinfoil hats? A little upset you are on the losing end of the stick after all these years?

here you go again, using the internets to validate yourself..... as opposed to lets say doing the normal thing and citing numerous peer reviewed scientific journals.......
who am i kidding, obviously internet polls are just as accurate.
keep on fighting the man there cretinrot, if you spend enough time on the farm, maybe the sheep will listen to you.

An argumentum ad populum (Latin: "appeal to the people"), in logic, is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges, "If many believe so, it is so." It is logically fallacious because the mere fact that a belief is widely held is not necessarily a guarantee that the belief is correct; if the belief of any individual can be wrong, then the belief held by multiple persons can also be wrong.
