I just got a review copy of the book "Debunking 9/11 Myths," which is a book version of the in-depth investigation that Popular Mechanics did. It's in a similar format to Snopes, with a "Claim" (the myth), then a "Fact," in which the evidence and physics are brought to bear to debunk it. It looks like an interesting book, from an engineering standpoint. What the book doesn't explain, of course, is why (besides Bush derangement) people buy into these nutty conspiracy theories. I hope that PM sends a copy to Cynthia McKinney, though she doesn't seem like the type that reads books, particularly factual ones.

Because it allows them to avoid answering tough questions. The difficult question now is at what point do defensive measures endanger our liberty more than the external threat they are meant to counter does. By asserting that there is no external threat this dilemma disappears entirely.

Perhaps the book will have lots of pictures for the soon to be former congresswoman.
