I mean, honestly, how large a mountain of details would you need to see before you accepted that 9/11/01 was scripted?
For me, this mountain of evidence is lacking one crucial piece: another example of something the Bush Administration scripted, that was executed successfully. Otherwise, you have to compare the stunning success of the 9/11 inside job with things like Katrina, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the outing of Valerie Plame. When I make this comparison, I recall a lesson I learned from watching Sesame Street: One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong...
I don't buy the official story. I can imagine some corrupt elites figuring that an attack was likely, and deciding to turn a blind eye. But to imagine this group of bumbling imbeciles actually scripted this thing, involving hundreds of people all with competing interests, requires me to believe in too many things I know not to be true, the main one being "competence in government."
