'Rescue Me' actor: 9/11 an 'inside job'
Ellen Gray, Daily News TV Critic
It's been a few years since FX brought the cast of "Rescue Me" to the Television Critics Association, which is a shame, since these guys can usually wake up even the sleepiest group. Even if half of what they say can't be printed in most newspapers.
Creators Denis Leary and Peter Tolan are doing the usual shtick, Leary bad-mouthing Hollywood friends who are doing better than he is financially -- especially "24's" Kiefer Sutherland and Michael J. Fox (who'll guest-star in several episodes in the coming season).
He's demanded food, and a critic has tossed him some of the snacks Fox has put out for reporters. (He seems to prefer chocolate to peanut butter-filled pretzels, but then, who doesn't?)
And people are amused.
But not really paying close attention until it's mentioned that the post-9/11 dramedy, which returns in April, plans to deal with some of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks, and that that is thanks to actor Daniel Sunjata, whose character, Franco, will share some of his own beliefs, including the one that says the attacks were "an inside job."
"Obviously, not all of us buy in," noted Tolan, "but [they decided] 'That's interesting, and let's do that.'"

that exactly what they want you to think.— beezer77- I have watched the Loose Change video and only one point in all of it really makes me think -- and that is, in 2001, if I remember correctly, it was almost impossible to make a cell phone call from an commercial plane traveling at that altitude. Well, that and how a building hit from the side doesnt topple, but falls straight down. As for the first comment by bg, I would only point to JFK....— Master Dreamz
- Is the headline on this article intentionally misleading or does the writer not understand the difference between an actor and the character he plays?...— Frederic
- The official conspiracy theory concocted by the US government that fire brought down the WTC buildings on 9/11 violates the laws of physics. Those who believe in conspiracy theories that violate the laws of physics are the worst crackpot kooks there are. Google is your friend. Take the red pill.— cmatrix
- The Mahattan Project was kept a secret for a loooong time and involved many many people, so that isn't a very substantive rebuttal. I was skeptical at first but after having read books, seen documentaries, and reading the official reports by the 911 Commission, FEMA, and NIST I have to admit that the unanswered questions are beyond troubling. Add to this the fact that the critics listed on www.patriotsquestion911.com include highly respected and qualified people from relevant fields of expertise who are all saying 911 was an inside job and yet are either being ignored or attacked on a personal level without addressing the substance of their informed criticism. The bottom line is that if you haven't done the research then you really shouldn't open your mouth on the issue. And if you have done the research then the conclusions are inescapable; we need a real investigation with subpoena power to get to the bottom of this. And it is imperative that we do so. The fate of our country and indeed the world is hanging in the balance.— lock&key
