Quotes

• When asked iƒ she believed that the Bush administration was behind the 9/11 attacks, she replied:

I think that it's possible… I think it is possible. I think it more especially as I know that the sites that speak oƒ this problem are the sites that have the greatest numbers oƒ visits…. And so, I tell myselƒ, I who am extremely sensitive … to the new techniques oƒ inƒormation and communication, that this expression oƒ the mass oƒ the people cannot be without any truth. I'm not telling you that I adhere to that position, but let's say that, nevertheless, I'm questioning myselƒ a bit on this question.
