i gotta be honest now, after seeing jesus camp with kids that were saying they'd sacrifice them self for christ and all that stuff: the idea that a few dozen people in a country where TV is banned could fuck up or intentionally get their country occupied isn't so hard to believe any more. i don't care for the apparent physics anomalies of the towers, just the conspiracy behind the attack is what should be looked at.
anyway.... how does rosie o'donnell asking questions, even insinuating the US government did it, damage america. why would it matter to terrorists abroad. surely the idea that people believe they're incapable of anything is more of an anti al-qaeda propaganda victory :ermm:

There are conspiracy theories abound, like the Moon landings and the Alien that landed in area 51? If you ask them for tangible truth all you get in reply is 'flannel'.:)
Incidentally I don't believe that you posted this thread. It was done by someone else using your account.

Bob. It's simply a matter of propaganda. The 9/11 deniers says foolish things,television over the pond pick them up and run them. If you were a radical Islamist and every day when you sat down for your dinner you saw someone in America(whom they "over there" portray as main stream) saying 9/11 was an inside job wouldn't you start to believe it too?
The constant feeding of deception and lies eventually become facts in the minds of those who are fed. If Goebbels were alive today he would be salivating at the chance to use these views.
It is a fine line between freedom of speech and treason.

a great deal of the middle east thought it was an inside job on september the 12th. whether america attacked itself in order to start wars all over the place, or radical islamists did it doesn't really matter to them...
to them, their civilians are being killed because of something that has nothing to do with them. most people believe that the iraq war and to a lesser extent the afghan war have done nothing but inspire terrorism. not because of propaganda in america propagated by america, but simply because we're on their land, killing their dudes.

I don't agree that 9/12,as you put it,was an inside job.
I do,however, give you kudos for your sensible approach to the question.

It doesn't damage America. The suggestion is purely political spin to try to silence open debate

Because their numbers constitute a minority of microscopic proportions, and it is a minority lacking the requisite "victim" status (apart from the obvious intellectual deficit) which typically gives minority groups their voice.
When such a periodical as Popular Science has sundered your argument to a fare-thee-well, the NYT is not likely to offer a do-over.
Neither are we likely to influence the opinion of the Arab street, relative to their misapprehension of events, so what, oh what, are we to do?
Ask me if I care at all (at all).

Quite true.
Why should we shrink from open debate, no matter how unrelentingly silly, misleading and stupid it might be.
Spin/context must be stamped out at all costs.
