@Derbig Mooser

Ah, so you're a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Really, no more needs to be said. You should know that there are not likely to be many people that agree with you on that score even here, Glenn included, but you're welcome to your delusions, (though yourself being even a Yiddish or Russian speaking lew might want to consider what side of this nihilist jihad you prefer, given the numerous theories that put you dead center in the middle of the plot- personally I might add. Those are equally difficult to disabuse the 'cognitively determined' of).

I've posted before my theory that 9/11 conspiracies are more likely to be planted by the right to undermine the left (which, btw, has been terrifically successful, not least in infecting otherwise useful advocates like yourself with ideological spongiform encephalophy) than to have even a shred of veracity. Even more likely, it has been taken up and promoted as useful propaganda for communist interests not since the early 20th century equipped with many, (and here I'm speaking of those who wouldn't hesitate to identify themselves as such, not the mainstream boogie men of the rightist truthy machinations). And these views from someone not even hostile to conspiracy theories- like that the oil companies are manipulating prices of refined crude, or that the Murdoch empire and corporate interests are suppressing science they don't like etc. etc. Then again, I've also posted that some people have a need to believe other than what their lying eyes or rational mind might have. Again, more power to you on that score. While you're at it, don't lie down for any of these shills- take Glenn right on for spreading his pro-government agitprop!

Chris Sinnard, feel free to point out to me where I've made a specious correlation argument. You should know that my proof started with causation- i.e. that we are, strictly speaking, more likely to find individuals that are planning to commit acts of terrorism by being aware of their existence and having information about them than otherwise- not the other way around (not that such people exist outside the US government mind you, but speculatively thinking here). But seriously though, have at it.
