Yeah, treachery among men in positions of power should never be considered. I guess we should just ignore the many warnings over the centuries from prominent Americans from the Founding Fathers, to Abe Lincoln, to Eisenhower, and uncounted others, then. As for me, I am always open to its potential among men in power, and will always look at evidence for or against it dispassionately.



Hawk, the one HUGE reason I don't buy into conspiracy theories is because a conspiracy of that magnitude would be impossible to keep secret. If it was under the GOP, the Dems would spill the beans for the political capital they would gain, and vice-versa. If you start with the premise that most politicians are scum, you'll understand that there is no way that 9/11 could be an inside job because someone would tell all.


I don't even want to get into this dissussion. I am not a "Truther" and as such, have no desire to defend a position I don't hold. I would like to make two points however.

First, why would Democrats necessarily be privy to information that would convince the general populace that 9/11 was an inside job to the extent that they would do anything? And as an addendum to the question, what could they do if it did? We already know the Federal Government is extremely corrupt yet what is anybody doing? Oh yeah, we vote...

Second, if a Conspiracy is being discussed and is of general enough knowledge to have a widely-known term coined which describes it, how could it be secret in the first place? Going back to point number one, those in power don't have to keep secrets if nobody can do anything about it.
