Retired UofM Prof Heads 9/11 Conspiracy Group

James Fetzer, a retired U of MN professor has founded a group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth.
He and a group of 70 professors and 230 others contend that the government lied to the public about the 9/11 attacks.

They have a web site at www.scholarsfor911truth.org There are some UTube videos about this subject on the site. Actually, there seems to be a small tsunami of information on the site.

After reviewing a selection of the information I have to ask, "Don't you guys have anything else to do?" They are contending, among other things, that placed explosions brought the buildings down, the terrorists simply could not have the ability to fly the planes, there have been interviews with the named terrorists after their deaths, the names of the terrorists were not on the planes manifest (Is this so hard to understand? They used assumed names to board the plane. Duh?)

How did these 70 professors become professors ? Lottery?

Shouldn't we invite them to make their best case, or do we trust in our government as an article of faith?; 9:12 PM, August 31, 2006

It was put-together by a guy who is personally debunking the insanity of the 9/11-was-fake crowd. He has a site and all. I'm sure he can be found if one looks. Anyways, the video was kind of convincing. But you have to have some common sense about physics and some common sense in general. He pointed out a couple places in one WTC building that are not consistent with imploding explosives and are consistent with a fire and yadda yadda.
But I like the new label I learned this year. Hugh Hewitt calls them "nutters".; 11:20 PM, September 03, 2006

There is a new book whose authors we on the Michael Medved show today. Michael likes to deal with the Left and conspiracies. The book is
"Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts".
As Michael says they have heard everything, anticipated everything, and answered everything.; 2:45 PM, October 02, 2006
