Thank you for this - forwarded to my liberal ex-girlfriend. I think she was a little skeptical of the 911 conspiracy theory - she was one of those rare libs with an iota of common sense - but hopefully this should help her understand the science.
I finally had a chance to look at the Loose Change video and must admit that I am really beyond appalled. I'm pissed, I'm angry. These people are making things up to try to be relevent.
A paper by a demolitions expert blows away the "controlled demolition" theory.

He says that since the buildings failed at the planes' point of impact, the demo charges would have to have been planted there.
If they were planted there ahead of time, the planes' impact would have:
1. dislodged them or even ejected them from the building
2. burned them or the remote detonators up
3. caused them to explode prematurely
Unless you believe that guys were runnning around AFTER the planes hit planting demolition charges in burning buildings! (in less than an hour for tower 2)
Because of this, some of these nuts say NO PLANES hit the WTC at all! (The NO PLANES THEORY)
The planes were special effects inserted live on all the TV networks at the same time, or they we holograms projected by secret govt technology!
Cue the Twilight Zone theme music!
here's a link to the "Loose Change Viewer's Guide", which provides a running commentary on Loose Change.
It documents the errors line-by-line

Now one of the Loose Change guys says they left some errors in deliberately (like Pee Wee Herman: "I meant to do that")
"We know there are errors in the documentary, and we've actually left them in there so that people discredit us and do the research for themselves -- the B52 (remarked to have flown into the Empire State Building), the use of Wikipedia, things like that. We left them in there so people will want to discredit us and go out and research the events yourself and come up with your own conclusions. That's our whole goal, to make Americans think."

kinda hard to take these guys seriously
from the same article:
ROWE: "Loose Change" happened by accident. The whole thing started out as a fictional screenplay about me and Dylan and another friend of ours finding out 9/11 was an inside job. It started out as a comedic action film with us being chased by the FBI and all that. But when Dylan started researching the screenplay, he found out the attacks really were an inside job, so we made it into a documentary.

So there you have it. They started out wanting to do fiction. Looks like they succeeded.
