GOVERNMENT ADDRESSES 9/11 CONSPIRACIES

This is quite interesting. The federal government has taken the surprising step of addressing some of the more popular 9/11 conspiracies that are out there. Evidently with the Internet being what it is these days, some of these theories have caught fire, so a government agency called "The National Institute of Standards and Technology" has stepped in to debunk them. They've published a paper on alternative theories.

They address questions like why did the twin towers collapse if they were designed to withstand the impact from an airplane. And what about this controlled demolition nonsense...they debunk that too. The details get somewhat technical, but the conclusion is the same: the World Trade Center towers collapsed because Islamic terrorist hijackers flew planes into them. Plain and simple. Of course, to the terrorism deniers and Islamic appeasers, this will never prove to be true. Remember, there are people out there that believe the Earth is flat and the moon landing was staged.

But the NIST missed a few popular 9/11 conspiracies. For instance, what do you suppose they would have to say about the theory that George W. Bush installed giant magnets in the twin towers in order to attract airplanes? This was done in an attempt to make it look like a terrorist attack so the neocons could start a war. And what about the theory that all of the Jewish people that worked in the buildings were warned a day in advance? How's come they knew about it an no one else did?

And what about Howard Dean's theory, shared with Jihad Cynthia McKinney, that the administration knew about the attack before it happened, yet told nobody and let 3,000 people die instead? Sounds like the government has more work to do on their conspiracy list.
