35 percent of people on the Left believe that 9-11 was an inside job. That either Bush knew ahead of time or that we were behind the attack ourselves. That is insane. Insane as the racist Van Jones.

No, This is not completely biased garbage. Whether you believe that 911 was allowed by the government, carried out by terrorists inspired by Osama Bin Laden who in turn was paid by the CIA to do so, or the official government story, one thing remains true. There are a LOT of people who believe each of one of three of these stories.

This type of casual dismissal of truthers as crazy kooks doesn't work anymore Whittington.

You're going to have to do a lot harder than the usual character assassination and ad hominem attacks. Popular Mechanics was a joke and never debunked anything.

In the Catholic abuse problem all of polite mainstream society stuck their heads in the sand for about a thousand years out of total cowardice while all the while impugning the character of the victims. And yet the truth was SOOOO obvious and yet no one had the guts to step up. This hit piece on Sheen is totally reminiscent of the smug dismissive gutlessness of the minions who protected the church pervs by marginalizing those who would speak the obvious truth. And the perverts who would be sent to "investigate" the perverts would invariably site Occam's Razor to "prove" the victims were little liars compared to the appreciable holiness and respectability of the priests.

gain from asking these questions is dumbfoundingly ignorant. And Popular Mechanics - the 'now famous' piece because it really is the only piece that 'debunks' from a scientific perspective. Compared to the books, articles, journals - masses of information - dedebunking on the other side. And it's worth bearing in mind that the article was written by Benjamin Chertoff, the cousin of Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security at the time. And it is owned by the Hearst Group of which personal friends of the previous presidential administration are on the board. When I think about what their motive might be for writing such an article - I don't have any difficulty in finding it. Compare this with the motives of the people who have jeopardised their careers and been labelled as unpatriotic lunatics for being brave enough to ask the questions that need to be asked, and I know which one sits more easily.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I've previously worked for a political party in the heart of government and understand how the public attribute politicians and the political process with more credit than it deserves when it comes to long-term, overreaching strategy. People would be surprised at how much of the process, like in many organisations, is really just reactionary, short-term firefighting. Many conspiracy theorists become laughable in the face of this. But this article - written in 2009 (and I had to double check) - is drenched in ignorance. It wreaks of someone having watched 'Loose Change' in 2005, though it was ridiculous and still places anybody with legitimate questions that have yet still to be answered, into one large group of unhinged, paranoid conspiracy theorists.
