"even if you believe that the government had nothing to do with the attacks of September 2001," - could well be blaming foreign policy of previous governments, not theorising about conspiracies.

I always wonder why conspiracy theory has become such a loaded phrase, people conspire in secret, other people theorise about it, I don't really see the problem.



Curiously enough, if there were secret cabal(s) running the world, it would clearly be in their interest to marginalize "conspiracy theories". Either way, it's classic a priori.


I agree re. the loaded phrase.

The official story is a conspiracy (theory) too. The only thing that's different between the various explanations is who the /conspirators/ are.

But there's no doubt that on that day a group of people acted to follow an agenda they had planned together, one that was against the U.S.
