Cockburn: Reject 9/11 Conspiracies
Alexander Cockburn: It’s hard to determine the goals of 9/11 conspiracists — but the movement reflects our changing ideas about belief. One in seven Americans and one in four among those aged 16-24 (so a recent poll commissioned by the BBC tells us) believe that there was a vast conspiracy in which the U.S. government was involved. But across those 10 years have the charges that it was an “inside job” — a favored phrase of the self-styled “truthers” — received any serious buttress? The answer is no.
