Get a ticket to New York, learn about how the government might use your flight to fake a terrorist attack and launch a war for oil.

Wonderful.

It still amazes me just how much mainstream attention these 9/11 conspiracy theories get.  I mean, they’re ridiculous.  The scientific theories they’re founded on are sketchy, at best, and they’ve been debunked by some very intelligent scientific minds. 

Even just looking at it from the perspective of common sense, a government conspiracy that would take the simultaneous cooperation of hundreds (if not thousands) of people from all walks of life and all manner of government agencies and private enterprise to execute a plot that would kill/maim thousands of American citizens and launch this country into war is just too much to believe.  And then to think that all of these participants have since kept their mouths shut without one deciding to go public or maybe letting the cat out of the bag to a friend or loved one?

C’mon.  It’s all the government can do to deliver the mail on time.  And Bush’s term in office has been so plagued with leaks, from the CIA secret prisons to the NSA “wiretapping” program, the idea that he could keep something this monumental under wraps is so ridiculous as to be laughable.

But some people insist on entertaining these theories.  Which is disgusting.  And the whole “well let’s just explore the idea that there could have been a conspiracy” is a nonsense cop out.  Tantamount to saying “well let’s just explore the idea that the holocaust didn’t happen” or “let’s just explore the idea that whites are superior to blacks.”

Totally bogus.
