But you got to admit that when you look at all of the information that came out since 9/11 it becomes very hard to believe the official explanation of what happened.
For me the reason I believe the official story of 9/11 is because of how much knowledge I have of violent Islamic extremism. When a 9/11 conspiracy theorist looks at 9/11 he or she is looking at only a small part of what is a much bigger topic. My reason for believing in the official story is because it fits in with the history of violent Islamic extremism, this history I have learned form my years of reading and studying. I cannot explain this to you all in one post, one thread, or even in one book. I can direct you to sources but they are not online they are all books. I do think there are some unanswered questions of what happened that day but on the balance of the evidence I have to conclude that the official story is the most accurate.
And why are people acting like that on these types of forums?

Naw, we dont say that there wasnt a cover up. We just point out that the cover up, was for much different reasons and did not involve criminal actions by the US Government.
And now explain to me how do you know what they are covering up?
There wasn't any government bureau that sat down and came up with all this information.
So what exactly is "official" about parents in Germany protecting their daughter or a mother of a stewardess telling what her daughter told her over the phone?

You are kidding me right?
You think that bureaucrats are going to admit 40 years of bad decisions on their part helped lead to the events that day? Jamie Gorelick (9/11 Commissioner) was in the Justice Department during the Clinton years. While she was there, a request came up through the department for the FBI to be able to have permission to share information about some suspect Middle Eastern men with other departments and agencies. The request to share, came to her, because there were guidelines/rules/laws put into place after the Church Commission hearings/Watergate and a few other incidents that prevented FBI from the sharing the information. These rules were designed to protect people's civil rights. Ms. Gorelick, denied the request....the information the FBI wanted to share.....dealt with Muslim males in flight schools around the United States.......................
There are literally hundreds of things like that in the mess that lead to 9/11. And do you think, any of the people who made those decisions/passed those laws (in good faith mind you) want them publicized?

No offense intended, of course, but this whole "official story" label is just more made up truther lingo being passed off as fact.d mother).
You need to go to the first hand accounts, like the firefighters who were physically there and the people who can provide provable documentation.
Joel Meyerowitz for example is a photographer who snuck into ground zero and took enormous numbers of photographs of the cleanup efforts, and he released them in his book called AFTERMATH. These alone offer critical information on what the wreckage looked like...and it offers critical rebuttal against many of the claims the truthers' make.
Probably they don't know. According to the news they wouldn't even tell Obama which one of them pulled the trigger, and besides, from what I've been told, Seal Team 6 was just a name the military concocted to confuse outsiders of their real identity, and there isn't any Seal Team One, Two or even a Three.
President Obama watched live video of the raid on Bin Laden's compound yesterday, a source tells us. In operations like this, our source says, soldiers and pilots often carry helmet cameras, and screens in situation rooms can carry live images from all of them. In a press conference this afternoon, head of counter-terrorism John Brennan said Obama's reaction when Bin Laden was killed was "We got him."
