The Truth about 9/11!

Occasionally, I'll get an email from someone demanding that I learn the truth about 9/11. "It was an inside job." Uh-huh.

It's those kind of emails that the "Delete" key was made for. As a matter of fact, I tend not to believe conspiracy theories in general. It's not that I don't believe our rulers aren't evil -- they are. But in my experience, people, especially people in big organizations, cannot coordinate and keep tight-lipped enough to pull off any secret plot bigger than a surprise birthday party. I've worked as a project manager in big corporations. The astonishing thing is that they get anything done at all without wounding themselves. I've seen too many big ideas crash and burn to believe a massive, intricate operation can be pulled off so effectively in utter secrecy.

I think this Onion video says it all, in which an "Al-Qaeda" spokesman assails a "truther" author for saying the US government was really behind 9/11. My favorite quotes: "Yes, the Bush administration is a den of jackals, so we have some common ground there." "How would you like it if you spent two months in a cave, sleeping on rocks, planning something really special, only to have someone take the credit away from you?"

Yeah..I am in total agreement about an impossible feat it would be to orchestrate an assault that big, and even pull it off, let alone insist it be fabricated entirely to look like something else. I don't think so.

I wonder about Lee Harvey being a lone gunman, though...

Mike:
You hit the nail right on the head about conspiracy theories.

Tell Greg Nixon (Vermont Commons resident 9/11 conspiracy blogger) to stay in Vermont ;)

Owen,

Good to hear from you!

I agree that the more you learn about the JFK assassination, the screwier it all sounds. But it still looks too messy to have been planned.

harold thomas,

Always good to have you drop by. Apparently, a lot of good, otherwise intelligent people want to believe what they want to believe.

One thing I am in agrement about on this guy's theory. That is the buildings were brought down by demolition and not by the aircrafts impacts alone. JP4 jet fuel vaporizes more when it explodes and lacks the heat required to melt steel. Who or whomever was behind this attack had to have explosives planted in the buildings to detonate upon impact of the planes or simultaneously set-off on the ground.I do not believe it was a black ops government planned attack. Now the Kennedy assasinations may have been organized crime on both men..Bobby for investigating the mafia..John F for the loss of Cuba to Castro ruining forther casino expansion by the mob in Havana.
