One Thumb Down
Even Roger Ebert, hardly a neo-conservative, didn't like the movie.
Readers can find the film by Googling "Loose Change video" and clicking on the first link. I have received countless messages urging me to see this film, which essentially charges that 9/11 was a hoax generated by the Bush administration to justify the invasion of Iraq. It questions whether commercial aircraft actually crashed into the Twin Towers, says United 93 may have been shot down by a missile, doubts a plane crashed into the Pentagon, etc. Some of the film's historical information is correct, but its conspiracy theory regarding 9/11 seems cobbled together with a mixture of unsubstantiated speculation, paranoia and pseudoscience.

Michael I think the answer is that they deny the hijackers. It's not spelled out in the movie, but the basic theory that Loose Change espouses is that the planes were diverted somehow, that other planes were substituted for them, except that they decided to use a missile for the Pentagon, and Flight 93 didn't really crash, but was used to assemble all the passengers from the other flights and offload them in Cleveland, where they were never heard from again. Hence no need for actual hijackers.
Thank you for making this blog site. I've the misfortune of working with two brothers that spout this 9-11 conspiracy crap. When I asked them about the first 9-11(WTC attack) they looked at me with a "what the *uck look?" I find it amazing that these people can really believe this *()!@#$.
