[lbo-talk] A question for the anti-"conspiracy"-theorists about9/11

[Jordan Hayes]

The thing I really don't get about this question is that it doesn't 
seem like there's any disagreement who did it: Osama bin Laden says 
that Mohammad Atta and the rest did this.  In order to believe that the 
government did whatever any one of these theorists say they did, you'd 
have to believe that bin Laden is going along with it.

All these discussions about how hard it is to fly or what it takes to 
coordinate such an operation are all just an exhibition of what I call 
the "GSP Syndrome" -- the Generic Smart Person Syndrome.  The GSP 
thinks about it for a minute and thinks: hey, wait: isn't this _hard_ 
to do?  What do I know about it?  I can Google some things, I know how 
to read, I know how to form an opinion, I know how to attack things 
from logical standpoints, I know a contradiction when I see it ... and 
soon they have a whole 'theory' about what did and what didn't happen.

Bleah.  These guys did it, despite it being hard and depite them being 
stupid.  Their masters thanked them for their sacrafice.

Get over it.
