Debunking Conspiracy

I've heard the conpiracies about the 911 events not being commercial jet liners, however, these are usually about the twin towers. I find them a bit absurd as the eyewitnesses on the ground, as well as people having phone conversations with passengers are the topic of historical legend, and are numerous. It almost doesn't even hold any weight at all.

Moving along I received the following film on the Pentagon disaster. As I have a family member who witnessed much of that turmoil first hand, I really can't give any credit to this conspiracy theory... other than good show folks.

Additionally, the email describes this as cutting edge "for your eyes only" info, when this theory has done the rounds and permeated the web. I will admit that this is the first I've heard of it.

Moving along I wanted to post a couple of additional links.

This one goes over the urban legend in detail and an attempt to debunk (successfully I'd say, but I think those inclined to believe that the government blew up their own headquarters and killed their own employees will likely continue to believe that regardless of evidence shown).

Next, here is a detailed run down of various 911 conspiracy theories including a ton of engineering fact and theory over the possibilities on how the towers collapsed. Basically the take home messages are there are so many people involved in multi tiered investigations regarding 911, it would be difficult to pull off an effective government coverup.

Can we really believe that the same country that can't keep a bunch of flushed government supplied Korans, abuse allegations, not to mention intelligence failures, behind closed doors? Can we expect that these people are competent and capable enough of pulling cons of this extent off? They can't buy toilet paper without messing up so I highly doubt this the world's most elaborate mind control stunt ever pulled off... unless discontent with the government and rampart skepticism over their cohesive abilities and competency is what they are shooting for.
