Slightly off-topic here...

I don't follow these nutty 9/11 conspiracy theories too closely, but I have a question for those who do: What do the conspiracists who insist a missile hit the Pentagon believe happened to all those people (like Barbara Olsen, for instance) on Flight 77? Kidnapped/murdered by the gov't, perhaps? If Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon as they assert, then what the heck happened to it?

They're in Guantanamo, silly. That's why the government has secret bases around the world. Sheesh!!!

I'm ashamed to know this, but when they answer the question at all, they theorize that Barbara Olson is part of the "Shadow Government" that secretly works behind the scenes to further Cheney's nefarious plans. They really believe this.

(Of course, they don't seem to have any idea of what happened to the rest of the people on the plane, like the bunch of fifth-graders coming back from a school trip.)
