I am not reviving this as a debate. Rather, a friend sent me a link to the Loose Change video a few days ago and asked for my reaction. I said it seemed not credible. But, being of an inquisitive nature, I did some googling. On the assumption others may find this thread, as I did, I’m recording here some of the links I found. I’ve tried not to duplicate links already mentioned.
In fairness, I probably found more by number going the conspiratorial direction, e.g., the officail Loose Change site and 9/11 Research; see also Wikipedia (collecting links), but they all seem to rely on the same limited set of “smoking guns.” Anti-conspiratorial sites, by contrast, approach the question from a number of different perspectives, so there is more purpose to be served by linking a greater variety of them. Among those I found of interest: David Corn; Snopes; 911 Myths; Rotten.com; Boutin & Di Justo; and William Jasper.
Bottom line, in my humble opinion, the theory doesn’t hold water. It isn’t even colorable.

agreed. occam’s razor applies. the simplest explanations are either that it was a plane that crashed into the pentagon, or that they shot the plane down over pennsylvania, or the plane crashed because of the struggle with the pilot.
al quaeda missiles, if they were launched within the us borders, would be a much much much scarier scenario than ever thought, and show that there is virtually no way to “keep our borders secure”, whatever that may mean.
