9/11 Truth? What you need to know about the 9/11 Truth Movement: Cynthia McKinney is their candidate for President.

I don't understand why the "Truth" movement is involved in what appears to me to be two distinct issues: (1) Whether or not the government was behind the 9/11 attacks, and (2) proper medical treatment and healthcare for rescue workers affected by the WTC destruction. I'm quite sympathetic to the cause of the many thousands of people who are having health issues as a result of risking their own lives in attempt to save potential survivors. The "Truthers" would certainly attract more converts, were they not also trying to convince people that the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Timothy Giannuzzi puts it like this: "For the American government to have instigated 9/11, it would have had to exhibit a staggering amount of competence, cohesion and co-ordination. Tens of millions of dollars, a great deal of explosives and, at the very least, many dozens of people would have to have been organized, bought off and/or used surreptitiously so as not to attract attention. These assumptions alone invalidate the conspiracy theorists' position. Anyone possessed of an ounce of rationality knows that the U.S. government is not remotely capable of acting like this."
