I'm not so convinced....if you say the vast bulk of it is true then that suggests some isn't..so how to decide? I think if evidence was made up, then someone is hiding something.
The way I see 9/11 is either
1) A small band of terrorists managed to organise the biggest attack on one of the most advance nations on earth
or
2) The US coordinated..or at least willingly let happen the attack.
Either prospect is quite chilling. Though in many ways the 1st is the least chilling.
To get an all round view it's worth researching 'popular mechanics' and 'loose change' While i'm not convinced by every point the 'inside job' make, i find their presentation of evidence to be better....though that does not equate to the truth.
A number of my closest friends are hard core conspiracy theorists. Some more than others. All agree the US did it....though some think aliens are involved........some go for the new world order........and some think 2012 will be the end of everything.
I think I need new friends :lol:

Sith is right even 1 lie/cover up is 1 too many,they would be hiding something if that was the case,no matter how small (excuse for war perhaps)
The moon landings could well be fake for 1 obvious reason (the cold war) during kennedys reign as president the world came closer to destruction than at any other time in history,he spelt out america's ambitions very clearly and the race to the moon was seen as ultimate propaganda,whoever got there first was the dominant power on earth,2nd place was worthless.
America won (maybe?) and it is a fact that the cold war began to slow down from that point onwards ending in the collapse of the soviet union in the late 80's early 90's.
Cheers stef

What you gotta remember Gary is just how lax US airport security was.
Having grown up in Northern Ireland during the 80's and early 90's when the troubles were still on going, I got used to being questioned by security/Police everytime I wanted to board a plane even aged 7 or 8. Having my bag searched three times, and well... there was a reason we never took walkman's on holiday! This happened both in Belfast and when we landed on the mainland.
We also had our own wee departures lounges, for want of a better phrase read 'holding cells', where we had 2 or 3 police officers watching over us, one way in and one way out, if we were lucky one tiny shop selling cans of Coke and packets of crisps. TBH we were totally second class citizens, and treated as if everyone of us was an IRA bomber.
But, when we got to the States they never bothered checking your bags they barely loked at your passport and you just got waved through security if you set the alarm off. Land of the free and all that. :roll:
No ****ing wonder someone spotted a gap in their security. And lets be honest here, the US aren't exactly flavour of the month in most of the world. Even before the **** ups in Iraq and Afghanistan, they were infamous for meddling in other countries affairs and throwing their sizeable weight around (we in Britain were guilty of this too, but on a much smaller scale).
Whoever spotted this gap in their security wouldn't have needed to be Einstein. It's not difficult to punch someone on the they aren't looking/their back is turned!

" US aren't exactly flavour of the month " unfortunately it took 911 for most of them to realise this. Evidence MAY have been made up to use as an excuse for war? If some moronic aussie comedians can infiltrate the APEC summit, very well funded, very well organised terrorists can (& still do) anything. :twisted:
