Willful ignorance leads in Egypt

Washington Times:
The longtime Muslim Brotherhood leader who is favored to becomeEgypt’s next president has long cast doubt on al Qaeda’s involvement in the Sept. 11 terror attack and even has called for a “scientific conference” to determine the real culprits. 
“The U.S. administration has never presented any evidences on the identity of those who committed that incident,” Mohamed Morsi is quoted as saying in a 2007 posting on Ikhwanweb, the Brotherhood’s official English website. 
“The Muslim Brotherhood and others demanded a transparent trial with clear evidence and to have court rulings,” he said after the sixth anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. “We confirm that this isn’t a defense to those who committed these actions but we only seek the truth.”
... 
I guess a confession of guilt by bin Laden and others responsible for the attack is not enough for this truther.  Perhaps, we should offer him a seat at the coming trials in Gitmo too.  This guy is letting his religious bigotry overwhelm common sense and the obvious.  If this is his level of intelligence, one can only pity for those in Egypt he plans to govern.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
