"And why haven't you answered my question anout the firefighters? Either the men of the FDNY (and more than 99% of all firefighters, materials scientists, architects, etc.) disagree with your assessment,..."

Maybe they're among the majority of Americans who do not believe the "official"story of what happened on 911.

A new scientific opinion poll has emerged which declares that only 16% of people in America now believe the official government explanation of the September 11th 2001 terror attacks.

According to the new New York Times/CBS News poll, only 16% of Americans think the government is telling the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks:

Question asked

"Do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying?

Telling the truth 16%
Hiding something 53%
Mostly lying 28%
Not sure 3%"
The 84% figure mirrors other recent polls on the same issue. A Canadian Poll put the figure at 85%. A CNN poll had the figure at 89%. Over 80% supported the stance of Charlie Sheen when he went public with his opinions on 9/11 as an inside job.

Let me address polls in a moment. First, let's address this where the rubber hits the road.

So, you're saying that the majority of firefighters, architects, materials scientists and engineers...

...know and can prove that 9/11 was an inside job

...but are not doing anything with that information?

Where are the mass demonstrations as these millions who know it AND are the only ones who can prove it go to the streets to demand the truth? In the case of firefighters, are people who lost 343 comrades too apathetic to act? Are those brave enough to run into burning buildings too scared to speak out?

There, now let's deal with your bizarre idea that these polls prove anything. Don't you have to take statistics before you can become a physics teacher?

First, the poll question is a New York Times/CBS News poll. Are you really going to go on record describing them as a credible source?

Second, the poll regards "9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks." Ergo, if anyone thinks the administration is doing any CYA on any aspect of the intel prior to the attacks, you are placing them in the 9/11 conspiracy camp. If a guy believes Richard Clarke over Condi Rice on the briefing issues, he's going to be in that "hiding something" 53% category. Meanwhile, he could think you conspiracy trolls are the biggest idiots. "Apples and oranges, get your apples and oranges! Nice and fresh, and not comparable at all!"

Third, polls (especially polls from the least credible newspaper and broadcast net in the news business) mean diddly. Even if they were compiled according to a "scientific" method, that doesn't mean anything, except that they weren't half-assed "I asked the people in the copy room what they thought" poll.

If scientific polls of the American people prove anything, than they proved that Bill Clinton was a good president (over 60% much of the time) and that John Kerry won a landslide in 2004. Do you believe any of those "scientific" pronouncements?

Over 80% supported the stance of Charlie Sheen when he went public with his opinions on 9/11 as an inside job.

Sure they did. Source, please? This should be fun.

Now, please also tell me what hit the Pentagon and when we have another case of two skyscrapers being hit by fully loaded transcontinental jetliners. Also, please tell me how those explosive charges were installed in the buildings without anyone noticing. And why, if the administration had the covert ops resources and willingness to kill 3,000 Americans in cold blood, did they not also just plant WMDs in Iraq?
