I think it is funny how a thread such as this can deteriorate into personal attacks against people that express an opinion, yay or nay, about the possibilities posed in the documentaries in the various links provided by the OP. Does it really indicate a stereotypical IQ or education or mental condition, no matter which side of the theory you lean towards? I try to keep an open mind with regard to most subjects that cannot be proven without irrefutable evidence. I entertain the possibilities. I am really, really against the war in Iraq, really dislike the folks in power right now, but that doesn't mean that I necessarily believe that 9/11 was domestically contrived. It also doesn't mean that I don't totally disregard the idea that it COULD be possible. It doesn't help that so much of the 9/11 hearings were stonewalled by the administration, that our leaders refused to give "sworn" testimony, and that huge sections of documents were classified and made unavailable. It also doesn't help that this administration has attempted to conduct most of its business in secret, hiding great deals of that information from the society to whom they serve. It doesn't help, that they have been revealed to have lied, direct lies, right to the American people, time and time again. They keep revealing themselves as untrustworthy. This gives the conspiracy theorist so much fuel for their fires. I, for one, thank the conspiracy therorists for their vigilance. They are willing to dig deeper, and think more suspiciously than I am, and who knows what will come of that critical thinking in the future. Generally, there is a grain or two of truth in most conspiracy theories. With this one, there is a LOT of evidence that too much has been hidden from us. The conspiracy theorist keeps the controversy alive, making it more possible that SOME truth will eventually emerge, and it may not be a truth that any of us were expecting.
