Rep. Hinchey: Bush Administration 'Intentionally Let bin Laden Get Away' In Order To Justify Iraq War

“I wonder why it's taken so long to call them out on this.”

“Some of these comments have been said and written about for a long time. As usual, though, these statements have always been put aside as only "theories" by the Right. Another objective by the Right was to use the term Bush bashing and unfortunately it worked to quiet those that wanted an investigation.
Why President Obama is not considering a criminal case against those in the Bush Administration who have lied and broken the law, is beyond comprehension.”

“I don't blame you Michael, for holding onto 'hope' for as long as possible.
But it's been obvious for a while now that Obama does not have what it takes to reverse the Right Wing's

December 1st, 2009 will be the official day that the 'Hope' died.”

“'Hope and change' was obviously a hoax.
Obama was a really great front man, with his gift of words. And dangling a carrot in the form of national health care may extend the facade.
Americans' only choice is tyranny with a happy face or, 'straight forward' tyranny with an arrogant leadership that doesn't even attempt to hide their connection to the military industrial complex.
Meanwhile, our RW christian dominated government funnels our wealth to their backers through it's

“What terrifies the RWNut coalition is the fact that all the 'confessions' and much of the other 'evidence' was extracted under torture and is therefore, inadmissible.
Also since the circumstancial 'evidence' is all from the U.S., military, there is likely no valid
evidence whatsoever.
Not that it will be a problem getting a death penalty. Any juror failing to convict these people will be
in extreme personal danger from the far more numerous, RW 'Terrorists'.”

“Concur. An open mind = intellectual honesty. That having been said, nobody said it was easy. I think that you might agree that 'pseudoscience' works both ways.
Because it is most egregious when a scientist disavows his own discipline to smear a subject that's just too much for them to handle. (Scientists also have vested interests to maintain grants, ect. - remember 'cold fusion?')
I wonder if DanAckroyd planned that we'd be arguing this upto Hallowen? lol
It's very interesting for me, as 'Ghosts' have to be the toughest phenomena to quantify because of it's very nature. It is fascinating though, to learn that scientific principles have been focused on the paranormal since Plato http://www.encyclopediaofauthentichinduism.org/articles/14_greek_civilization.htm”

“I very much agree with you, Fein. If something has not clearly been disproved, then one must always be open to and consider the possibility that such a thing does indeed exist, whether that be God, UFOs, ghosts, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or the crazy pink elephants who like to chase me all around my house after a hard night of drinking.
Of course, prioritizing the evidence we do have is must so that one does not venture off like Don Quixote, chasing windmills. Evidence, as Reason so aptly stated above, is a must.”

“RedBearSaid
As soon as you start to distinguish between believers and non-believers you are into pseudo science. In science there aren't believers and non-believers, there are rational people who do their best to objectively analyze facts and arguments.
When my father died I had incredibly intense dreams where we had discussions which I always wished we had had when he was alive. Those dreams were more real to me than many of my every day experiences and to this day they give me a feeling that part of him is still alive. But I'm a rational person and I don't have to believe in ghosts and ghoblins to keep his memory alive in my heart.
FALSE Anecdotal comments are not 'pseudo science.' (Maybe read my whole post next time.)
And if that experience doesn't at least make you realize there's the POSSIBILITY of the phenomena, that's not r'ational', dude. You're got some kind of problem associated with this subject matter.
Anyway, you'll have plenty of scientific studies you can try to refute all you want.”

“parapsychology part 2
If a scientist claims a professional opinion, he has to back it up. whether his opinion is pro or con. Otherwise he's a phony violating his own principles. If I was debating such a phony, (which we've established you're not) it's going to be a main issue.
I've personally experienced what falls under the parapsychology category with witnesses so I don't need photos and testimony. Nor do I care to convince 'non believers.' But the experience has made me VERY determined to debunk cynics for the benefit of those with an open mind.
I'm sure that you noticed that 99% of the 'skeptics' on this thread fall into the category of trolls and cynics since ALL they can come up with is insults and pejoratives - why debate a troll?”

“Responding to your 'pseudoscience' post ; It's a simple pejorative by definition. part 1
Only ONE scientific study needs to conform to scientific principle for
'parapsychology' to be valid. And since 'parapsychology' (ghosts) have been scientifically studied since Plato's time, it's the height of absurdity to try to label it that.
You will have to 'debunk' every single study since Plato to prove your point. While I only need show one. And it's going to look semantic and stupid when/if you were to say, 'debunk' Plato's studies on the fact that you can't find a 'peer' review - lol. The fact that Plato delineated the validity of the subject 2400 years ago is rather good evidence that the subject has is scientifically studied.
But, that's not my problem & I will get you the cases. (BTW, if I couldn't
find the cases that does not prove they don't exist - only that I can't find them! And I did not say that I could post links to them all - you will have to recover them - some are for sale. My job's just to 'find' them for you.)”

As for 'modern' scientific technique ; I've seen and know of a number of studies incorporating more than enough of it.
That's not the point though. Since this 'evidence' is only photo-electromagnetic, and qualified observers, it is only the preponderance of evidence that proves it's validity.

“Where did you post anything? I don't see any links in your comments. And pseudo science isn't an insult its a term that is well understood by people who study the scientific method. It encompasses things like astrology, freudianism, marxism, and parapsychology. They pretend to be scientific but don't have the qualities of true science. Two examples: pseudo science is not repeatable. Real science provides experiments that can be verified by independent experimenters. They aren't falsifiable. True scientific theories say in situation X facts A and B will be true. Pseudo science always has an explanation for why something turns out to be A or NOT A.”
