Oder Aderet reports at Haaretz that the United States considered using nuclear weapons against Afghanistan in response to the September 11 attack according to Michael Steiner, who served as a political advisor to then-German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, as reported in Der Spiegel. "The papers were written," Steiner said when asked whether the U.S. had considered using nuclear weapons in response to the attacks orchestrated by Al-Qaida's Osama bin Laden, in which almost 3,000 people were killed. "They had really played through all possibilities." Steiner added that Schröder feared that the US, which was in a state of shock following the attacks, would overreact. "After Sept. 11, the entire administration positively dug in. We no longer had access to Rice, much less to the president. It wasn't just our experience, but also that of the French and British as well. Of course that made us enormously worried."

and then they put together an "unbiased" 'Warren Commission' to put forward the 'evidence' that supports what Bush, etc, wanted.
You americans have been scammed again (and again) and you will again if you keep eating this sh*t.
Stand up and be heard: don't let (strike> your government /strike) people in your government get away with killing people in order to fulfill their agendas.
(Damn... bring back the strike HTML!)
