Like I haven't had enough of 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Somebody point out the flaws mihi and explain this clearly. Thanks.

Edit: The worst argument against a conspiracy theory:

Well, if it wasn't Flight 77, what happened to Flight 77?

Let's assume there's a conspiracy.

Now, are you telling me that this conspiracy couldn't create a flight 77 where none had been? Don't you remember that they originally thought as many as 8 planes had been hijacked? Don't you remember that the original death toll was much higher, as people tried to claim nonexistant family members as dead? It would be almost easy to go into the computers, add records for a nonexistant flight, and pay off people to cry about their poor dead family members. I mean, shit, this is a conspiracy, right? You think they couldn't do a little thing like that? Huh.

Now, I doubt there is a conspiracy. I don't think one of this scale could practically be carried out (too many people would have to keep quiet), and I don't think the Shrubboy is that smart. But if you believe in conspiracies, you have to disbelieve my two objections, in which case I should hope that the conspirators are smart enough to find a few more people who can keep quiet.

I think Bush has a lot of smart people on his team.

I think you can orchestrate something that appears genuine enough to bring in all the necessary folk who DO believe it is real. I.E. You don't need to involve the press or FEMA, just make it look good enough that they'll buy it.

Perhaps so--or at least to claim one does. I'll believe whatever I damn well please in the privacy of my own head. And I do definitely think there are many things we aren't being told--why else refuse to create commissions or release reports?

It's obvious that there's things beneath the surface, but I don't think it's a wide-reaching conspiracy. Really, it's probably just normal ineptitude.
