Ask the pilot

In search of the ever-elusive "truth," the pilot takes on the 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

    Thank you for this article.

    It amazes me that people believe the government could pull off something so dramatic and involved as the 9/11 attacks. This is the same government that was caught off guard as a hurricane took days to make it's way over the Gulf of Mexico and slam into New Orleans.

    It is even more stunning that people believe our government could keep it SECRET for five years. The same government that was unable to squelch details on who leaked Valerie Plame's name, NSA wiretappings, and the gathering of domestic phone records... just to name some of the more recent fiascos.

    But, maybe it's just me. I confess, I believe Neil Armstrong did walk on the moon.

    —Leah
