That proved nothing except that you are clinging to the myth and narrative as I had suggested. Video exists of several of the hijackers, alive and walking around discussing issues weeks after their supposed deaths. Seems that punches a pretty big hole in the nice tidy little narrative you swallowed whole as truth does it not? Of course it doesn't, because you choose to ignore these facts because they don't fit with your narrative or myth.

Conspiracy theories, on both sides, are interesting because people are willing to defend them without second thought or doing any investigation or research of their own. My favorite conspiracy theory, one accepted as fact in our society, was the fallacy of WMDs in Iraq. That had quite a bit of support at the time, even though the empirical evidence said otherwise. I bet I know which side of the fence you were on at the time. I wouldn't be surprised if you still cling to that failed narrative because there was so much convincing evidence presented by the most trustworthy of sources.

It is interesting that with all of the lies that have come to the surface from this period in history that people still do not even second guess the validity of the information reported at the time of the attacks.
I suppose all Arabs look alike, right?

BTW, you have no idea what side of the fence I fell on for anything, thanks though. I was actually quite certain that the US evidence of WMD's was suspect, largely because I listened to the analysis of ACTUAL EXPERTS IN THE FIELD. It's that same whacky approach that I've taken to come to the conclusion that people who disregard an overwhelming mass of evidence and expert opinion in forming their belief that the US government murdered 3,000 are certifiably insane.
