And why is it that every time something like this hapends there are people who do not believe what they are being told by the government?

Do you consider that a fact backing your supposition? It's not a fact.

But did she really die at the pentagon?

Thats where her body was, they did recover it.

Unless you think Ted Olson is lying about his wife.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a reply.

I know a guy who actually believes this crap. He also listens to Alex Jones, and visits fromthewilderness.com, and whatreallyhappened.com regularly. In effect, he has lost his mind.

Sigh....See posts 28, 72 and 79.

Why haven't the Democrats kicked LeRouche out of the party after all these years?

might not seem relevant, but it is, tangentially

Agreed, but the connection is a bit lost in an otherwise fine article. And I'm here too late to ping the list anyway. But thanks.

The mistaken belief that a handful of unexplained anomalies can undermine a well-established theory lies at the heart of all conspiratorial thinking (as well as creationism, Holocaust denial and the various crank theories of physics).

Truly remarkable for Scientific American. That he didn't take a shot at Global Warming skepticism.

If people are going to hawk conspiracy theories on Free Republic they owe it to all of us to not make their case using evidence or "questions" which have already been debunked or refuted in credible national publications or books.

The persons pushing the no plane crashed into the Pentagon crap, clearly did not bother to read the Popular Mechanics article which debunked their claims, or any other detailed analysis. They read one decpetive dubious report from atotally un-reliable source and are sure they know the "truth"
The only people they argue with are other people who know as little as they do.

EX: How do you explain 5 Navy fighters all dissapperaing on a perfectly clear day off the Bermuda Coast. Seems like a mystery, until you go back and actually check the day in question and it was not a perfectly clear day there was a giant storm.
How do you explain Watergate burgler Howard Hunt being in Dealy Plaza Nov 22,1963. You don't expalin it because he was not there the supposed pictur of him is actually someone else.

There are conspiracys, there is secret information kept from the public, things are not always as they appear; but, before you waste our time with conspiracy claims you need to at least read and respond rationally to published attacks on your theory.

Attended a family cookout this weekend where my son the psych prof, teaching in NZ and total Leftist idiot, said with a straight face that 9/11 was orchestrated by GW and Cheney as an excuse to seize Middle East oil fields. When I asked why we hadn't grabbed Kuwait's fields, I was told they were already in the hands of American companies. When I asked why we haven't seized Iraq's oil, the answer was that France, Germany, and Russia already had contracts, thus defeating us. (Not one word about the illegality of these contracts and the Iraqi misery and death that resulted.) How anyone can possibly believe this nonsense defies logic. I can only assume he parrots this so he can get along with leftist colleagues in academia.

There were many witnesses to the plane hitting the Pentagon, including several on the highway nearby who gave detailed accounts of what they saw.

"It just makes no sense whatsoever. Any way you dice it, there is no rational reason to just make it look as if Flight 77 hit the Pentagon."

Unless..... unless the passengers of Flight 77 were in on it too!!!

What about the thousands of eyewitnesses that saw the plane hit the Pentagon? Are you really that stupid?

Thousands of Eye witnesses?...........Oh really? Thousands????????

No where anywhere has anyone said there were thousands........

Show me anywhere where it was said that thousands saw the attack. Even the government will not support that lie.

Make up some more stories.
