SCHOLARS FOR 9/11 TRUTH ASSAILED
Members and movement attacked from several directions

Madison, WI (PRWEB) September 9, 2006 --- Three professors who are members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth have been threatened with the loss of their positions for their research and teaching about the events of 9/11. Other attacks are coming from national magazines, such as TIME and U.S. NEWS, which have cover-stories this week suggesting that those who believe 9/11 involved a conspiracy may need psychological counseling. In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Popular Mechanics have published pieces intended to bolster the official account of 9/11.

It really is sad to think that this is the level of the debate. I don't really believe all the conspiracy hype, but if we can't do better at answering the questions these "truthers" are raising... what are we supposed to think. Rational intellegent arguement is the only way to win this debate, and so far the crazies seem to be the most rationa and intellegent people in the debate.
