Obviously you don't know me too well. Trust the government? Ha!
However, when someone uses 9-11 to push views on issues such as the 2000 election (above), computer hacking (Congress), bringing God back into the country (Falwell, I believe), gun control (abortive attempt by HCI), or other such things, I think that's mere opportunism and not a genuine attempt to re-examine issues in a new light. It's an attempt to use the event as some sort of talisman which wards off opposition.
