September 10, 2006 -- DEBUNKING 9/11 MYTHS: WHY CONSPIRACY THEORIES CAN'T STAND UP TO THE FACTS BY THE EDITORS OF POPULAR MECHANICS, FOREWORD BY SEN. JOHN MCCAIN HEARST, 192 PAGES, $14.95

I GET several e-mails from 9/11 conspiracy theorists every week, usually typed in all capital letters with minimal punctuation and maximum sputter. Here's a typical message I received last Tuesday: "It appears you are not a believer. So, I have only one question, perhaps, but doubtfully, you can answer. WHY DID BUILDING SEVEN COME DOWN?"

As it happens, Popular Mechanics magazine's new book, "Debunking 9/11 Myths," answers that question concisely - with the caps key off. Among the unhinged fever swamps in academia and on the Internet, there is widespread suspicion that World Trade Center 7 collapsed as a result of a controlled demolition set by Secret Service and CIA agents who had offices there.

Reality check for the Twilight Zoners: Federal investigators and experts believe a combination of massive damage from falling debris plus raging fires led to a progressive collapse of WTC 7, causing structural failures that brought the building down.

Popular Mechanics patiently bats down the paranoid delusions of Bush-bashers and terrorism-deniers who have seized on flimsy evidence and cherry-picked quotes and misquotes to bolster their cockamamie theories.

Consider how the conspiracists have abused 20-year veteran New York City firefighter Louie Cacchioli. A People magazine article attributed this quote about WTC 7 to Cacchioli after the attacks: "We think there was [sic] bombs set in the building." But Cacchioli told Popular Mechanics he was misquoted: "I said, 'It sounded like a bomb.' I tried to explain what I meant [after the fact], but it was already out there."

Another Truther seeking office: Democrat Joshua Smith, in Washington state, who wants Rep. Jim McDermott's seat.

LOL!! Replacing a nutter with a nutter! You poor Washingtonians can't buy a break!

There always seems to be a never-ending pool of those who want to capitalize on and exploit someone else's grief and pain...

The anti Bushies are all about placing blame on Bush for everything related to terrorism and 9/11 because they don't want to be fingered for being the policy that allows terrorism to breed.

We can start with FORMER PRESIDENT Jimmy Carter, held hostage by Iran. Let's negotiate he says. That was the start of this whole cycle of Islamofacism.

I have a friend who's brother was on the 2nd plane into the WTC. His brother's credit card was recovered on the roof of a nearby building. That is the only personal effect recovered.

How did that credit card get onto a roof in New York City? Case closed.

[aculeus]

Bait.

Hook.

Wait.

[rlmorel]

You poor deluded man. You are simply a tool of the Bush's.

The Government PLANTED that card there, and then conveniently "found" it!

As for you friend's brother-he is alive today, he just has no idea who he really is.

Government agents used one of those "flashie things" like the ones in the movie "Men in Black" to erase his memory.

Good God. You know, I am almost afraid to post this. There are people out there, who would have a seed of doubt planted in their brain when they read this. They are called Moonbat Liberals. Oh, Hell. There are people who believe this.

Well, the Bush Admin, along with the Israeli Mossad took the card from the guy after they took him to a interrment camp in the Alps.
The plane was filled with dead homeless people culled from the streets of NYC by Halliburton and put into planes.
Geezzzzzzzzzzz do I have to explain everyting...SARC ALERT

Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sunny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?
Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eye! And that smug look on his face, "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

Carter's failure began with his all-encompassing Carter's focus on human rights, which exacerbated a deteriorating situation in Iran, funded by the Soviets....

Sadly, my best friend has begun to buy into all this bunk. He is libertarian now, but I know not all of them are kooks. He hates Bush with such a passion that it scares me sometimes.
