| #9 At this point in time, Radical Islam is losing the WOT, so PCorrectness = Totalitarian Centrism is the Order of the Day for anti-Bush/USA Pols, Activists, and Hollyweird. POST-AMER HIROSHIMA/NEW 9-11's > change in another PC heartbeat. CONSPIRACY BUFFS > Example - need to refocus on why post 9-11 footage-photos of aircraft tails/parts at the Pentagon are no longer shown either on the Net or on USG reports, for years now. 'TIS A VALID QUESTION + GAP WHICH THE HISTORY CHANNEL HAD FAILED TO ANSWER OR CLOSE [for yarns]. |

| #8 The bizarre thing is that the fact that this program was produced will be "evidence" that there's a vast coverup for the truthers, with stuff like: the Gov't/Jews/Masons/Scientologists/UN/Trilateral Commision/etc. must really want to cover this up to go to such lengths. That PROVES it. If they're so sure they're right, why won't they let us do a rebuttal? What are they afraid of? And so, they're convinced they're right more than ever. It's like one of those finger trap toys. The more you pull the tighter it gets around your fingers. |

| #7 Thruthers reject engineering and scientific analysis/proof. They are hopelessly conspiratorial. They are the same as the global warming religionists and the UFO types. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they aren't the grandson's of those aliens that landed in New Mexico back after WW2 (you know the ones I'm talking about). |

| #6 I actually saw most of this this past weekend, and it was VERY well done. Very SIMPLE scientific explanations to most of their arguments. My favorite ones were about flight 93. The "mysterious" white plane that "trailed" the flight (History Channel found those aboard the corporate jet who were asked to look around for flight 93 in that area and interviewed them). Oh, and about the Pentagon and the only video released of the attack was from that automatic parking lot ticket puncher (near the Pentagon), which showed no video of the plane actually hitting the Pent, just a "before" and "after" pictures....well, it turned out the camera speed isn't up to snuff (7 frames/second or so), so physics tells ya when you have a jet colliding with a stone building at 500+ mph, you may miss the exact frame where the collision happens. It's a very good show, and has a lot of the guys over at Popular Mechanics (who did their thorough cleansing of the conspiracy theorists back in 2005, I think) interviewed showing simple scientific reasons these theories are wrong (he really goes off on the Pentagon theory because there's not an exact 747 shaped hole in STONE (wings sheared off, plane actually hit ground just before building, etc.). Pretty good smackdown. |

| #3 The 9/11 conspiracy theory folks are rabid about their theories. They have the "facts" they will tell you, what a bunch of nutters. |
