What I find funny about the conspiracy theorists is multi-fold. But they can take specific pieces of data and spin and manipulate it and make it fit into their theories, they don't have to look at the overall data set. Whereas the onus of proof on people who believe that the 9/11 attacks were actual terrorist attacks not carried out by the illuminati on behalf of a rougue element of the CIA is much larger. Its almost like the Conspiracy theorist are prosecuting attorneys that can throw a ton of circumstantial evidence and guesses at the non conspiracy theroists who actually have to defend using credible witnesses and infalliable data.

The other thing that I find hilarious about the conspiracy theorists is that they are free to make things up, outright guess and manipulate quotes. The Silverstein stuff with the pull it comes to mind, the using of incomplete quotes of airtraffic controllers on their cruise missile theories and the engine quote from I think the boeing person as an expert.

If your going to build a case for a massive conspiracy the onus of actual proof and not speculation should be equal.
