First, this AP article (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/09/10/20080910terrorhealth0910-ON.html) explaining how many people are still suffering from the terror attacks. The article is mainly about the psychological effects, but it does mention that "3,800 to 12,600 may have developed asthma," according to the NY Health Department. I just find it interesting to see this sort of information in a MSM article after the 9/11 Truth movement has been talking about first responder health for a long time.
Second, I saw this Voice of America article (http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-09-10-voa59.cfm) explaining a new global poll on the 9/11 attacks.
Majorities in only nine of the 17 countries believed that al-Qaida was behind the attacks, a finding that surprised World Public Opinion.org's director, Steven Kull.
"I think it is very striking, given that even bin Laden has publicly made statements affirming that al-Qaida was behind the September 11th attacks," he said.
An average of 46 percent of the people polled in each country blames al-Qaida for the attacks. If not al-Qaida, then who? Kull says an average of 15 percent say the U.S. government plotted the attacks.
"In Turkey, 36 percent have this view, Turkey, one of our allies. Palestinian territories, 27 percent have this view. In Mexico, 30 percent have this view, and perhaps most surprising of all, in Germany, 23 percent have the view that the United States was behind the 9/11 attacks."
Of those who said the United States was the perpetrator, Steven Kull says many believe it was an attempt to justify an impending U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Obviously just a few dozen spammers, right?
