In case you have too much free time...



On first glance, this video - widely distributed around the Internet and apparently created by the group at signs-of-the-times.org - sure seems like a classic conspiracy theory. A little background checking ties this production to French author Thierry Meyssan's claim that the 9/11 attacks were staged by our own government for nefarious purposes, and that the pentagon was attacked by some military plane and/or missile after American Airlines flight 77 was diverted elsewhere.

One obvious problem with Thierry's theory (hey, that sounds good!) is evident when you ask yourself the question: "OK, well then what DID happen to flight 77 anyway, if it didn't really hit the Pentagon?". As usual, snopes.com does an exhaustive and excellent debunking of this claim and the offered "evidence".

So why is it here? Well, for two reasons...

1) To make you aware of this claim, and it's well reasoned answer.

2) To show you the video, which I must admit, is pretty well produced..!
