I also believe the Shanksville plane was shot down by a scrambled jet.

The PNAC is a good example of how real conspiracies work. They're not necessarily shadowy figures in a back room coming up with evil plans for world domination. They can be public figures with a website coming up with plans that may or may not be evil for what may or may not be world domination. I would wager 90% of Americans have never heard of PNAC.
And if anyone can remember what led to the conclusive determination that plane was forced to ground by passengers, I'd like to be reminded. I just can't remember, and it just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, if Airplane taught me anything, the incapacitation of pilots on a commercial airliner is sure to result in one thing and one thing only: terrible, terrible jokes.
That really is a great movie...
Edit: For those unaware of the PNAC,
this link takes you to their website, and in particular a 1998 letter that foreshadows much of what was to come in the lead up to the Iraq war.
