Popular Mechanics is in the Hearst Group of publications. Wm Randolph Hearst was a govt operative who started the Spanish-American war with misreporting. The debunking in the Popular Mechanics article can be debunked. Phony science. But people want their news predigested and shat upon them.

And the other site is like the "Urban Myths" site, and Wikipedia. Mostly misinformation. Govt fronts.

19 men with boxcutters is the conspiracy theory. Someone shut off the surface to air missiles on top of the Pentagon (activated 24-7). Someone let the "hijackers" through the terminal gates (their names were on terrorist watch lists), etc., etc., etc.

Bush said a couple days ago that al Qeada has infiltrated American society and is putting out conspiracy theories. They didn't count on people having spine enough to say no to the lies, and now they're saying we're with al Qeada. The terrorists of 9-11 are in the White House and the Pentagon. We all know it.
