You miss the point. The police caught the burglars almost immediately becuase they overlooked the possibility that a security guard in the vicinity of the break in was on the ball. Someone who had intimate knowledge of what the FBI knew turned it over to reporters, who screamed the information to the public, including publishing a book
Moreover, Nixon resigned becuase he knew impeachment proceedings had started in Congress. This directly refutes the truthers' paranoid claim that the gov't can pull off their conspiracies with the perfection of a supernatural act.
It directly refutes that insiders would never come forward to spill the beans
It likewise directly refutes that despite there being bad apples in the gov't, therre are also good apples who'll press for the truth, regsrdless of how ugly it is.
Nowadays, Bush can't even out a CIA agent without hordes of journalists tracing it back to him.

1) No one is claiming conspiracies never get discovered.
2) You will notice that so-called "truthers" DO believe they have uncovered a conspiracy. It's YOU that continues to think it could never happen.
You can't force people to come out an "spill the beans" like it's a law of physics. Again, this was a mundane conspiracy compared to what 9/11 was. We can agree on that much. Only 1 guy wanted to come out, who knew anything, and he was so afraid even at that, that he chose to remain anonymous as he did so.
You mean like Sibel Edmonds? Who has been called the most gagged person in this country's history.
But they can do things like torture people to death at Gitmo and lie about it for years, and Dick Cheney had no problem lying to Congress about programs he was running with our intelligence agencies that they knew absolutely nothing about, no oversight at all.

1) On the contrary, the majority of truthers I've talked to are saying that very thing- that noone ever comes forward
2) It's not that I can't think conspiracies can't happen. I'm saying that THEIR conspiracy can't happen.
Then you just contradicted yorself. If someone was going to come forward over somethign so mundane as a presidential sponsored burglary, they're damned sure going to come forward over a staged terror attack that killed off 3000+ people.

The only ones who call her that are those damned fool conspiracy web sites
which I find pretty absurd since just about everythign she knows seems to be common knowledge I.E. how her boss told her to slow down her translation jobs so that he can get more money for his department's budget.
...and yet it still came out in public.
You're only providing matierial that proves my point and refutes yours.
In the meantime, when I see when the gov't can't even hand out bottles of water to hurricane victims in New Orleans without slipping on banana peels, I'll stick with the theory that the gov't is too incompetent to pull off any such thing.
Ryland: A Sibel Edmonds 'Bombshell' - Bin Laden Worked for U.S. Until 9/11
During my recent interview with FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds on the Mike Malloy Show, a caller had asked her opinion on whether she believed 9/11 to have been "an inside job

A few thousand 9/11 relatives, not a few hundred.
A few thousand military and service personnel.
A few hundred FBI, CIA, agents coming forward to confess, or secretly opening up to big papers like NYT, Wash. post.
Letters, e-mails by the demolition experts delivered to MSM.
Confessions by the perpetrators.
Money transfers or deposits to accounts of those behind it, discovered by private investigators and made public.
Recorded conversations by the perps. before and after living no doubt that they were not doctored (this would be very hard though).

Keep believing in fairytales it is safe that way, and do not question your government.
It's quite clear that you "Truthers" haven't given us any reason to believe your fairy tales, but we will keep asking you questions until you either produce evidence for your fairy tales or realize that you've been deluding yourselves for all these years. That's the least we can do to help you out of your persistent and unfortunate denial.
ETA: You should read your own sig. You're still in stage 1. I hate to see what will happen when you reach stage 2.

Evidence that would stand up in court.
That could take a number of forms.
Email that links the "Insiders" to the actual deed.
Direct payments to the people that committed the crime
Pictures of "Insiders" in the building prior to 911, preferrable dressed as construction workers.
Confession(s) by one or more of the "Insiders" (Even a dated signed deathbed confession")
Links from any explosives used to the "Insiders"
You can use your imagination but basically for me to believe that "Insiders" committed this crime, someone would have to provide some sort of proof that would stand up in court.

MIT materials engineer's report on the WTC collapse
I consider this report to be undisputable becuase I've posted links to this report many times, and despite all the self styled experts on everything here, not one of you has ever been able to refute it.

As the list of experts grow daily it would never be enough for people who are in denial.
You want bush and Cheney to confess. That will be the day. You are asking for evidences that any criminal in the right mind would have destroyed. You are asking for records that will prosecute the criminals. That’s not going to happened. I guess you don’t think criminals will go though great lengths to cover- up their tracks, they had eight years to do it.

I´m not asking for anything. I´m just answering the question.
