I went with 1%.  The government is not capable of pulling something like that off, and all of the conspiracy theory stuff I've seen has not been very convincing to me.  I'm pretty much as certain about that as I am that I won't die when I hit the button to submit this post.  That said, I'm not so closed minded that I would completely write it off if presented with evidence I thought was solid.

I don't believe it was an inside job but I do find it odd thaat the flight data recorders weren't recovered from the World Trade Centre but one of the hijackers passports was.

There's also the thing about the 1 billion dolars ogf gold which were in a vault underneath the World Trade Centre yet only $200 million were ever recovered.

As with most of the Truther's claims, this factoid also was pulled out of their ass. This, from "Screw Loose Change:"

37. Claim: $160 billion in gold is missing from the World Trade Center.

Truth: Despite the fact that this would be over half the world’s gold reserves, and be nearly impossible to move secretly, this has never been reported by any reputable news source.

Yeah, all that, but I seriously have a problem with the "no doubt it was NOT an inside job" and, to a lesser extent, the "Who gives a shit?" people.

You don't have to like 9/11 truthers, you don't have to respect 9/11 truthers, but you need to understand that governments are capable of that sort of thing and you must always give conspiracy theories the benefit of the doubt.  Every single time some idiot "cries wolf", there is a [small] chance it could be real.

That's why I voted 1%. But, they've lied so often that I don't pay them much credence anymore.

Isn't the title of this thread redundant?
