It's a bit confusing because right under Exhibit E it says FBI because they're the defendant.
No, it doesn't. You may want to look at it again.
The entirety of the August 22, 2008 document
to which you refer is all about the NTSB, although Monaghan filed the document as "Exhibits" in his litigation against the FBI (without said 'exhibits' actually being appended to anything). On the first page, he lists the exhibits, and all of them from A through G, with the exception of F, are specifically identified as NTSB documents or communications (F is identified as an "illustration from the 'Pentagon Building Performance Report'").
The exhibits are all clearly identified as originating from the NTSB and not the FBI. Exhibit E - from which you purported to quote - is specifically identified on page one as "NTSB FOIA responses indicating no records pertaining to positively identified wreckage identified by the aircraft involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001" and both of the Exhibit E letters are clearly on NTSB letterhead.
It is
very difficult to understand how you could purport to "quote" from this letter as you did, saying that it states clearly that the
FBI "doesn't have any records regarding the above requested information" when to do so, you had to ignore the word (well, acronym) that is sitting
right there in front of the cherrypicked 'quote' you used, which actually says: "the
NTSB doesn't have any records regarding the above requested information".
I'm sorry but, objectively, it looks more like dishonesty than inadvertence since it is very difficult to understand how you could miss entirely the letterhead, the words, the descriptions, and the acronym one mere space away from your 'quote', while simultaneously picking out nine words from a 21 page document to wrongly attribute to the FBI. Can you please explain how you could miss all of the obvious references to the NTSB while getting the nine words exactly right but citing it as an FBI quote, particularly in light of the placement of "NTSB" one tiny little space to the left of the quote you cited?
So we can add another gov't agency that has kept no records of the investigation.
Nice attempted deflection, and yet another exaggerated/dishonest claim. It is completely inaccurate to say that either the FBI or the NTSB "has kept no records of the investigation". One would have thought that you would have learned by now not to make such broad and baseless accusations.
I will say that I learn from these exchanges and will drop any snarkiness or general hostility if you do the same. This isn't a competition. I make mistakes. This is a long and complex learning process.
Well, that's a refreshing change of attitude.
I have to say, though, that you really should start reading more carefully and you really ought to stop making unfounded accusations, particularly those of a sweeping nature, if you expect not to attract criticism on a skeptics' forum for the content of your posts which demonstrate these and other flaws
viz rational and critical thinking skills.
As for dropping snarkiness or general hostility, sure, I'm game.
