It is unfortunate that Mr Manjoo continues to use the entire concept of "conspiracy" to minimize the obvious deficiencies in the official 911 explanations.

By spending a bunch of column inches on someone like Mr. Jayhan this article plays the VPs hand exactly. It is obvious to most thinking people that no missles were used on WTC1 or WTC2 and a plane did strike the Pentagon.

By promoting fringe ideas Mr. Manjoo makes getting to the truth harder.
