A quote from the PDF version of Christopher Bollyn's book "Solving 9-11: The Deception That Changed the World":
Bollyn quotes Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski (USAF ret.) from her monograph 911 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, Vol. 1, 2006, stating these sobering words: “I have been told by reporters that they will not report their own insights or contrary evaluations of the official 911 story, because to question the government story about 911 is to question the very foundation of our entire modern belief system regarding our government, our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled conspiracy nut or anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or marginalized within an academic, government service, or literary career. To question the official 911 story is simply and fundamentally revolutionary. In this way, of course, questioning the official story is also simply and fundamentally American.”
