mr. hayden, for ájt service and intellectual analysis.e airs and pitfalls of the obama administration is falling into, regarding the escalation of the afghan aggression, would you advise the obama group to study the facts of 9/11 and see where the truths of that crime, where it leads them? and reopen the investigation into 9/11? and what do you personally think of the facts of 9/11 reqs for example, how the buildings were polarized by explosives in 10 seconds and so forth, thank you. >> that's a good question, and is asked by this gentleman or others everywhere i go. i'm trying to encourage you to take your case to the wider public as opposed to myself. obama has a lot on his plate, and i believe he's probably not going to come and shouldn't, spent a lot of time on personally delving into 9/11, until something grabs the attention of the public and the congress, and requires it. my 9/11 wasn÷ 11-22-63. i personally have not gotten over the killing of john kennedy. and i had several similar experiences, and i found a pattern in which suspic
