9/11 Truth - The Obvious Argument

The Loose Change Backgrounder
Synopsis:
If there was a 9/11 conspiracy, why would you do it and how would you go about it. Lefty commentator Matt Taibbi provides the most lucid and realistic scenario.
Opinion:
The stupidity of 9/11 Truthers would be laughable, if it wasn't so offensive to the memory of those who died on the day. I'm not talking about those who only know bits about the conspiracy theory and have never taken the time to investigate it further. I am talking about those who promote the conspiracies. It is interesting how so many of these nutbags come from the anti-religious left, however they exhibit a fanaticism that makes the majority of believers look like lapsed atheists. Theirs is a religious fervour, requiring a fundamentalist's ability to ignore inconvenient facts, logic and reason. Matt does a good job of showing how truly ridiculous this new religion is.
Money quote:
CHENEY: And the Pentagon crash -- we'll have to do it in broad daylight and say it was a plane, even though it'll really be a cruise missile.
BUSH: Wait, why do we have to use a missile?
CHENEY: Because it's much easier to shoot a missile and say it was a plane. It's not easy to steer a real passenger plane into the Pentagon. Planes are hard to come by.
BUSH: But aren't we using two planes for the Twin Towers?
CHENEY: Mr. President, you're missing the point. With the Pentagon, we use a missile, and say it was a plane.
BUSH: Right, but I'm saying, why don't we just use a plane and say it was a plane? We'll be doing that with the Twin Towers, right?
CHENEY: Right, but in this case, we use a missile. (Throws hands up in frustration) Don, can you help me out here?
RUMSFELD: Mr. President, in Washington, we use a missile because it's sneakier that way. Using an actual plane would be too obvious, even though we'll be doing just that in New York.
BUSH: Oh, OK.
