How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    @ Borduin, Popular Mechanics? Seminal Scientific work? LOL

    Jayhan's an idiot. Lots of people are. Not all truthers are idiots.

    (Yeah I know just me)

    By all means people, read that great semen stained work of "scientific" journalism. Popular Mechanics? Popular Mechanics? The horror. The horror.

    Then go read this: http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/pm/

    If you want to go at it the other way round, what if they had disagreed with YOUR bias and published a truther article? Would then be selling it as the last word? No. I didn't think so.

    Like Farhad and some of the posters here, the authors go for the stupidest, lamest theories out there and then "debunk" them. Scienterrifically!

    This is the best you've got? Yellow journalism written by Chertoff's cousin?

    Did you believe in the WMD too? How about that Gulf of Tonkin incident? Or the "attack" on the Maine. Maybe you missed the Lavon affair, but hey it never happened right?
