He is missing an important fifth category ... “Though I did not take the claims of “truthers” seriously from the outset, I have surveyed the ‘evidence’ enough to recognize its absurdity, and determined that it is inconcievable that the U.S. government committed THIS dastardly act. Thus, anyone that does not immediately denounce such a possilbility is entertaining anti-American propaganda, and giving aid and comfort to the real perpetrators of this act of war.”

Well said.

It is also interesting to note that his choices allow for (1) unconvinced of government involvement, (2) convinced of government involvement, (3) no opinion and (4) oblivious to evidence.

Aside from the “fingers-in-the-ears” choice — he does not allow for the possibility of being convinced that the government was not involved ... i.e. being convinced that the truthers are wrong/ idiotic. He allows us to be unconvinced that they are right — but, apparently, in order to avoid being thrust into the dreaded and unreasonable “Category 4”, we must keep open the option of being convinced sometime in the future

Whack-job.
