Iam not much into politics but i found this post, about the 9/11 conspiracy theory in Richard D. LeCour's blog, very interesting. The best part is the coincidences about the attack.

Here is an excerpt of it:

Over the past two years, scores of highly regarded individuals have gone public to express their serious doubts about 9/11. These include former presidential advisor and CIA analyst Ray McGovern, the father of Reaganomics and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, BYU physics Professor Steven Jones, former German defense minister Andreas von Buelow, former MI5 officer David Shayler, former Blair cabinet member Michael Meacher, former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush’s first term Morgan Reynolds and many more.

More than ninety-five stories below the impact point of the first plane to hit the North Tower, mechanics walked up the stairs to the third sub-basement to find the machine shop completely gone. A fifty-ton hydraulic press was blown to bits. The parking garage on the floor above was also gone. “There were no walls, there was rubble on the floor, and you [couldn’t] see anything”, said Mike Pecoraro. Two more floors up, the 300-pound steel and concrete fire door was wrinkled up “like a piece of aluminum foil” and lying on the floor. The underground damage he describes can not have been the result of shaking from the impact above — nothing short of an explosion could have reduced the contents of the machine shop to rubble. William Rodriguez, the last person pulled from the rubble of the North Tower, stated, “There was an explosion that came from under our feet, we were pushed upwards lightly by the effect, I was on basement level 1 and it sounded that it came from B2 and B3 level. Rapidly after that we heard the impact far away at the top.”

According to the conspiracy theorists, the damage to the parking garage and the North Tower lobby simultaneous with the first plane impact are indicative of the effects of high explosives, with widespread blast damage and fine dust covering the entire scene. The oft-cited explanation is that the fall of jet fuel down one of the elevator shafts caused on explosion. Instead of the expected soot or fuel residue that would be expected from such an explosion, there are blown-out windows and a fine dry dust covering the entire lobby — very much the signature of high explosives.

Can it be true? Time will tell us.

update: The vidoe footage of the plane crashing into the Pentagon was released earlier in May after a Freedom of Information Act request by legal watchdog Judicial Watch, hoping to "dispel conspiracy theories about the crash".
