  9/11 deniers?!

  I don't think there's one person out there who denies that 9/11 happened; the missing buildings are very convincing.

  So who are these people you are talking about? Are you talking about people who believe that guided missiles or shaped charges took out the World Trade Center? Or, are you talking about the very large number of people who believe that the story that's told in the 9/11 Commission's report is not the whole story and some of it is false?

  You'd be foolish not to doubt the 9/11 Commission's report. It contradicts itself; it was grossly underfunded, started a year after the attack, and the co-chairman of the Commission themselves admitted that they didn't have the resources to complete the report and accused the administration of obstruction.

  So what really happened? Well, I don't know; I suspect that the actual story is something like the official story but we simply haven't been given enough information.

  But you don't know either, Mr. Manjoo. Unless you have some secret source of information you haven't revealed to us, you have the same partial and partially incorrect data we do.

  So stop acting like you're the grown-up and all of these people who have serious doubts about the government's story are the children. If you presented some of the serious critics of the government's story instead of your usual crop of paranoids, it'd be a much better story.
