Interesting that it seems not too many people even know who Sander Hicks is. I ask again, why was this obvious disinformationist allowed anywhere near an ostensibly serious 9/11 truth conference? Also, did anyone else find it interesting that Betsy Metz told the ABC interviewer (in the uncut version by Mark of WACBoston) that the absence of evidence of a plane hitting the Pentagon was her first clue to the 9/11 fraud? Has her friend Jon Gold publicly shamed her for that as he has people like David Ray Griffin? This whole thing stinks to high heaven, what with ABC news covering it, the focus on "treason", the questions from ABC implying "treason" (do you believe the government was complicit in murdering its own citizens) all on the heels of the alleged Pentagon shooter's truthiness? Anyway, from blogger:

ABC's Very Clever Manipulation Of Its Audience

At one point during the "Nightline" segment, a conference attendee is asked what he does for a living when not questioning the official story. His answer: playing music at his local church (the editor then mockingly cuts to the interviewer for his expression). The attendee also unwisely claimed to be an uncredentialed scientist.

Meanwhile, Richard Gage and his organization of credentialled supporters were completely ignored by ABC.

The major media can longer be excused as being ignorant of the 9/11 controversies. By all appearances they seem complicit in the cover-up.

"I'm a historian"

These are unbelievable things to say in an interview of this sort if you're not qualified. And especially if you've just said your main job is playing music in church. Also maybe people should be very careful about smiling at all in interviews with the press. It must be hard though, speaking to someone as obnoxious as the ABC guy, not to smile in attempt to get him to 'lighten up' or whatever.

Dylan, Korey and Coleen seemed aware that anything they said could be used as evidence against them.

I'm not aware of Sander's style, and assume this was a minor misstep.. it will good to see the full versions of these interviews. It seemed like he realized what he'd said after he said it.
