The Sacred Lists

One of the favorite bits of evidence that the "Truthers" like to present are the Sacred Lists.

1. Barbara Olson isn't on the Social Security Death List.
2. The passenger manifests don't include the hijackers.
3. The tail numbers of two of the planes were not retired.
4. The NTSB never investigated the crashes (i.e., they're not on the "list").

It's like these lists are so sacred that people may engage in a conspiracy to kill 3000 of their fellow Americans, but they balk at the idea of changing any of these lists. Can you imagine the conversations?

Bush: Okay, so we'll kill everybody above where the planes don't crash into the World Trade Center, and a buncha folks in the Pentagon. Any loose ends?

Cheney: Well, we're going to have to mark the supposed passengers on the planes as dead on the Social Security Death List.

Bush: We can't do that! That's against the law!

Or:

Airline PR man: Sir, the Press is looking for a passenger manifest.

Airline Executive: Here, give them this one.

Airline PR man: Sir, don't you think we should add the hijackers' names to the manifest?

Airline Executive: Tampering with a passenger manifest in the event of a crash is punishable by a $5,000 fine! Go ahead and put it out; only the mentally unstable will notice it.
