EVERY story on CNN about new Pentagon footage mentions conspiracy theories.
So this is a non-story story? Is that what we are supposed to get out of this? We distribute the news, we create it, as Jon Stewart says: Mooooove Ahhh-long!

1. It's a shiny object - look over there!!
Nothing new and nothing but a distraction - and perhaps meant to stir up those 9/11 emotions, as they're so fond of doing.

4. Apparently they're putting the "conspiracy theorist" meme out big time
While simultaneously releasing video "proof" acquired by Scaife owned Judicial Watch, which actually proves nothing because there's no plane visible and we've seen it before.

Something big is about to happen. Something that will again be explained away by the MSM constantly screaming, "Conspiracy theory! Conspiracy theory! Conspiracy theory!".

5. Check out this video. We don't need to even discuss the Pentagon.
if you want level headed, well researched proof that 911 was an inside job.

6. The new footage is
old; there is no plane; there is no sign of a plane post-crash. It only proves that we've been lied to by the gov't, the press and it is so hard to grasp it is easier just to "move along".

7. The conspiracy theory is bullshit
The plane crashed into the fucking Pentagon. Where are the people from the plane then? They got on it at one point. Hundreds of people probably, with hundreds of relatives, who are where, exactly if not dead in that crash? The plane existed and then..what, it vanished into thin air? Every other plane was accounted for that day. Air traffic controllers know the ID number of the plane and the size, etc of each plane. Airlines know which plane is going where and have a list of everyone on it. Do you have any idea how many people would have to be in on it? All those air traffic controllers, people on the freeway (there was a video of it flying very close to the freeway at one point), at the Pentagon. Thousands of people. It is probably impossible for so many people who are witnesses to be silenced somehow.

14. We don't know what happened to the REAL Flight 77
but we know the alleged terrorist pilot of Flight 77 couldn't even fly a Cessna properly. So how come he suddenly was able to fly impossible fighter pilot maneuvres using a civil airplane?

If you don't see an airplane, and if your eyes tell you there's no wreckage on the lawn, who do you believe? Your eyes, or the government?

What really happened to Flight 77 is a question we just can't answer yet. But there are facts, right in front of our eyes. It's unscientific to bend the facts for making them fit to a story.

If there's no airplane wreckage on the lawn, the conclusion is there was no airplane in that place at that time. That this simple fact makes the account of what really happened on that day even more difficult is true, but you can't blame the observable facts for not fitting to the expectations of what must have happened according to the official story.

20. Where are the anecdotal stories about the passengers?
It's like they don't exist. Who was on that plane? What were their names and who are their families?

25. I am going to believe people trained to investigate these things
I am not an engineer. But the NTSB is made up of a lot of engineers and pilots.

8. Every story about 9/11 since it happened has mentioned conspiracy theories
the most absurd one being that a bunch of foreign dudes (some of whom were on security watch lists) with no state-sponsorship managed to hijack 4 huge passenger planes with box cutters as their only weapons and crash them into 75% of their targets.

Just saying :shrug:

9. CNN's expert just gave us the "slam-dunk"! No conspiracy!
See, see. Its just a plane piloted by a non-pilot that crashed into the Pentagon flying 20ft off the ground and parallel to the ground. And pay no attention to the fact that plane parts WEREN'T found at the crash scene. Just a little mystery, like how the black boxes on the WTC planes were destroyed but Mohammad Atta'a passport survived and ended up in pristine condition on a pile of rubble, and that crazy magic bullet that killed the president so long ago...

Its BULLSHIT!

15. Maybe something else is coming out about 9/11?
Perhaps something more serious? Maybe they hope that if they scream "conspiracy nuts" long and hard in the MSM, we'll ignore what's coming next....

17. I think it's a significant error of judgement on their part, to evoke
even the notion of so-called "conspiracy theories", particularly in relation to manifest irregularities in the conduct of officialdom in matters such as the Pentagon crash. This is all together the wrong time.

Who do they think the public are going to trust now, at this late stage of this Administratons ministrations? Investigative reporters not in Bushco's pocket and like-minded bloggers, or the Bush Administration? The answer is a matter of public record via many different media, and its not good for their purposes even to remind the public of such "conundrums" in passing, never mind repeatedly.

19. CNN got shafted out of their FOIA request
Edited on Tue May-16-06 04:31 PM by librechik
they get ONE extra relevant (yet still inconclusive) frame from the substantial footage that must be available and held back. This is nothing, and they should continue suing for better video.

22. When I heard CNN use the word "conspiracy" in a sentence in reference to
to the Pentagon Plane/911...my jaw dropped...Was in our bedroom folding clothes
and turned toward the tv with a "whoa" sound. I was VERY surprised that
MSM would go down that road. They could have just said, that Judicial Watch
requested the information etc, they didn't have to open that can of worms.
So my immediate thought was "why".

By the way, on 911 I was glued to the TV and I do remember watching and
really looking to see the plane that hit the building and couldn't really
see it. I did think that was odd. But never, at that time, did I question
that it wasn't a plane. I trusted the media then. Yes people, I did. I was
in a different frame of mind at that time about "everything". Anyway, I do
remember in a fleeting sort of way thinking, "where's the plane"...then shutting
that thought down, thinking perhaps they were purposely trying not to let the
tv media see it or something like that. I've lost faith since then by a long
shot, and now, sadly, I question, EVERYTHING. Damn.
