Great article: Was 9/11 an Inside Job?

[BestCenter]

Excellent piece blending logic, humor, and fact to explain why conspiracy theorists think the way they do.

"If you own a computer, odds are you have seen Loose Change, a slickly-produced viral internet video making the case that the U.S. government planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. No, I don't know why it's called "Loose Change."

If you haven't seen it yet, you will soon. The Loose Changers will make sure of it. They sell this thing like they're getting a commission. In a single day I had four different people on four different forums try to get me to watch it.

And most of the people who watch it, come away convinced.

The film is a rapid-fire collection of video clips set to techno music, attempting to prove that:

1. No plane hit the Pentagon - it was a cruise missile;

2. The hijacked planes didn't bring down the World Trade Center, the buildings were wired with explosives ahead of time;

3. Flight 93 didn't crash in Pennsylvania and in fact landed safely elsewhere. The passengers were in on the conspiracy.

They've sold more than 100,000 copies of this thing on DVD. It's been downloaded millions of times.

But is it bullshit?

There are basically two views on the subject, and I intend to provide both equally. You can make up your own mind. One side says...

Please be sure to check it out http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/911truth.html">here. Two-page article. Fascinating read, even if you don't agree with it.

1. Attack the messenger. Attack the messenger's "mentality."

Personalize the argument and attack the messenger.

What kind of people always "argue" this way?

2. You should watch Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime and review it

It's an infinitely better video, with no "unusual" theories in it. Just facts. Then I guess the facts are kind of boring by comparison, and it's hard for folks to ridicule them. OTOH, isn't it more of a challenge?

4. Loose Change, not Loose Change 2 or Loose Change 2 recut

It's like criticizing the Patriot Act for "not taking enough rights", without mentioning Patriot Act 2
