Apparently so, since we'll swallow any cockamamie conspiracy theory that 
comes along.

Popular Mechanics did a major article on the twin towers collapse, 
debunking every one of the "points" the conspiracy theorists make about 
the towers.  PBS did a two hour special, complete with testimony from 
the scientists involved as well as animated models of exactly what took 
place, the sequence of events, etc., etc.

The Pentagon?  There are pictures of the nose cone of the plane *inside* 
the Pentagon rings.  (IOW, it made it all the way *through* the 
building.  There are *multiple* eyewitness accounts of the plane, 
complete with identifications of it as an American Airlines or "American 
Airways" flight.

Against that you have the fevered imaginations of people who refuse to 
accept facts they can see with their own eyes and the testimony of 
literally hundreds of eyewitnesses.

Sure you are.  That's why you believe in a massive government conspiracy 
that *no one* has been able to pierce, despite the fact that the 
government can't even keep secret prisons secret or hide massive 
eavesdropping programs from the public.

It's fascinating that the same people who buy the 9/11 conspiracies 
hook, line and sinker also believe the *exact* same government is 
totally incompetent.

But you're just trying to be objective, right?

You claim to be a security professional.  Use Google.
