Is Russia Today really the most trust-worthy source? Well Michel Chossudovsky certainly isn't. Once I saw his name linked to this story I started to get doubts. I'm not saying this court judgement didn't actually happen, but I'd pretty much need to have the court itself confirm its existence. So far the closest I've come is the not-very-reputable Daily Caller which if nothing else has some actual detail. Emphasis is mine: dailycaller.com/2011/12/16/federal-judge-iran-shares-responsibility-for-911-terror-attacks/#ixzz1go4kITEsSo until it's actually issued I'm treating this as non-story. Well in American conservative circles, it's as good as true now This seems to be as credible as Version hiring Blackwater as strike breakers.

Considering Al Qaida and the Iranian government absolutely despise each other, I'm just not seeing it. Considering that Iran was at war with the Taliban and was supplying the Northern Alliance against the Taliban I'm definitely not seeing, especially as immediately prior to invasion, the US paid for weapons from the Russian to be flown to Iran to help resupply the Northern Alliance.

I'm really starting to hate world leaders. Why must so many of them act like spoiled children provoking each other over the slightest issue, real or imagined?

Because if they didn't then they wouldn't be ruthless enough to get elected in the first place.
