Why the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Resonate

Posted on Sep 5, 2006

I have studiously avoided blogging about “The U.S. government planned 9/11” conspiracy theories because, frankly, they strain credulity*; it seems unlikely to the extreme that the government could keep a secret like that from leaking. But Time magazine has a good explanation of why 36% of people polled lend credence to these claims: We need grand theories to make sense of grand events, or the world just seems too random.

*Editor’s note: I originally had written “...frankly, they’re crap; no government could keep a secret like that from leaking.” But as anything is theoretically possible, I decided to soften my statement.

Many of the posted replies were great and soundly flog his seriously uneducated post.
The post made start to wonder what the motives could Golson and Truthdig have for ignoring and refusing to investigate the unusual coincidences that occurred in the time surrounding 9/11. Here is my reply to Golson's post which the Truthdig moderator, as of yet, has omitted from the blog.
Am I being too harsh?
