(11,050 posts)So much for your disingenuous denials of being a conspiracy theorist.
> The hijacker theory is NOT well-supported. It's supported largely by testimony extracted under torture and by evidence that well-deserves suspicion that it was planted.
Abject bullshit. The hijacker "theory" is "supported largely" by the people who were actually on the plane and watched it happen; by the airliners' records of who those hijackers were; by the history of those hijackers' involvement with Islamist radicalism; by the history of those hijackers getting flight training; by the hijackers' own "martyrdom" videos; and by the confessions of both bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who were NOT under duress of torture when they confessed. Your statement quoted above belies serious ignorance of the evidence for this "theory" while hypocritically declaring that people who find it overwhelmingly convincing to be "lazy fools."
> The fact that the attack was unnecessarily complicated and risky makes very unlikely its perpetration by poorly-funded Arabs.
Bullshit on top of bullshit. The plan was risky, of course, but it was not at all complicated or prohibitively expensive, which is precisely why it's highly plausible that it was chosen over alternative attack plots. You seem to have trouble dealing with the possibility that Arabs could be intelligent enough to figure out how to exploit our vulnerability to that kind of suicide attack, even though that vulnerability was glaringly obvious after the fact. You find it inconceivable that we weren't prepared to deal with that kind of attack (not the least reasons being apparent incompetence and apathy), yet you are willing to entertain absurd theories about people preparing 24x7-occupied office buildings for an exotic and untested demolition and then somehow getting to every person who could have exposed the plot and convincing them to go along with covering up a mass murder. And then you expect your own incredulity of the "official story" to carry some weight? I think not.
