Yesterday, my wife was waiting on a customer, and my wife mentioned that they hadn't been able to hold a moment of silence yet because they'd been busy. The customer replied with "Oh, you know, don't you, that the government was behind 9/11? They planted bombs in the towers to make them fall!"

The wife is not a political junkie and hadn't heard of this garbage. She was speechless. She didn't mention the age of the woman, but this is a college town so it very well may have been a student or someone related to faculty. My guess would be the later.

It must be the government.

Who else would use 767's as detonators?

Yes! And you can buy the button Bush used at Staples!

Yesterday on C-SPAN, there was a small meeting at the National Press Club (sparsely attended). The speakers were a group of 9/11 conspiracy theorists -- some of them 9/11 family members, but I didn't notice any Jersey girls -- who were pressing for a new, REALLY non-partisan (read: get Bush) investigation of 9/11. I could only stomach it for a few minutes, but in the few minutes that I heard, one speaker kept referring to some post-9/11 Newsweek articles that raised questions that he claimed had never been satisfactorily answered by the 9/11 Commission. One of the family members, who had lost a daughter on 9/11, said that she was not a conspiracy theorist, she just had "questions" that hadn't been satisfactorily answered.

My sense is that the 9/11 Commission DID look at those questions, and DID answer their questions. The answers were just not what they wanted to hear or believe.
