His whole theory is that the hijacked plane was shot down over the ocean, which goes against the grain of the "I'm-a-believer-in-everything-Michael-Moore-and-Bush-blew-9/11" that he has..it has to be quite a thin tightrope.

Oh, here is the punchline I forgot...he is a journalism major

So they shot it down and then crashed something into the Pentagon to make it look like a plane crash to cover up the fact that they shot it down?

Whoo Boy. That's, that's, that's some amazingly convoluted thinking.

Yes, but to him everything evil is possible while ##### Cheney is VP.

I've never seen the one on the so-called 'missle' that hit the Pentagon - what a bunch of carp. You know that Ted Olsen's wife (the attny who saved Bush's bacon in the Florida recount) was on the Pentagon flight and I personally have heard her final phone call to her right before the impact. If any of this is true I find it hard to believe that the government killed people to intentionally blow up the Pentagon. Not to mention that there is no reason at all given as to WHY anyone would actually intentionally do that. Strange co-incidence to set it up so it would happen within minutes of the WTC attacks,

Here is a website that disputes these specific charges in more detail:

Here is some more deconstruction of this ridiculousness. (first one that leaps out are the knocked down light poles on the highway).

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what happened to the wings.

Yep, you don't have to be Scooby Do to figure out this mystery.

On the other hand it sure does illustrate the power of a guy with an agenda armed with half-truths to put together a really convincing argument for total BS (*cough* Michael Moore *cough*).

Is a die-hard Republican supporter allowed to quote Ant? More to the point, should anybody be?

Keith,

It is difficult to argue with believers in conspiracy theories. Essentially, you cannot disprove a conspiracy theory b/c the evidence that you can muster to dispute them is part of the conspiracy and the lack of evidence to prove them is part of the cover-up. (See the reasoning?)

Bob (Robert) Goldberg wrote a book on post-WWII conspiracies that is very enlightening. He looks at UFOs, JFK, the Anti-Christ, etc. There are some other good books whose titles escape me at the moment. I'll try to post them tomorrow when I get to the office--they are on my shelves there.
