Another thing, even if we all trusted the government and we trusted the invesitagation into 911, wouldn't there still be unanswered questions? Wouldn't we still wonder what happened and we would still have conspiracy theories.All the news reports and people making short films about it and such, makes for more disbelief.
No wonder the victims families have all these questions and mis trust in the investigation. I think it just adds to their grief and their "why did this happen". There is something about accepting situations
at face value for closure.

I'm just going to let Oliver Stone figure it out.

Anita Thompson's account ~~

"She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they could work on his weekly ESPN column...

Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn�t know what had happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said.
(Her account to Rocky Mountain News reporter Jeff Kass is slightly different: "I did not hear any bang," she told Kass.
She added that Thompson�s son, who was in the house at the time, believed that a book had fallen when he heard the shot, according to Kass� report.)"

Mack White sums up the questions well:
Thompson�s family says he was not depressed, nor was he in enough to pain to kill himself. In fact, by all reports, he was quite happy. He was talking on the phone to his wife, getting ready to work on his column, when he decided it would be wise to kill himself, so that he could go out (we are told) while "still at the top of his form," even though this would mean not finishing his column or his expose on 9/11 (potentially the most important thing he would ever write) (?)...

OK, so if you are going to kill yourself, would you do it whilst talking on the phone to your wife, and while your son,his wife and your grandson were in the house too?
