Philosophy

I myself was once a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, once even believing that 9/11 was a domestic conspiracy, but now I've come to reject all these theories as hysteria and nonsense. Most of these theories I automatically rejected as false (pod plane, windowless plane, no North Tower plane, Israeli conspiracy, faked phone calls), but I was gullible enough to believe such claims that the Twin Towers were brought down in a controlled demolition and that the Pentagon was not hit by a Boeing.

The following actions should have been carried out prior to 9/11:
a) canvassing flight schools for suspicious students, former students and current ones
b) conducting a nationwide manhunt for the two known terrorists who were already in the country (Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi)
c) double-checking passenger lists against terrorist suspects
d) upgrading airport passenger screening
e) hardening cockpit doors
f) putting air marshals on more flights (on 9/10/01 the U.S. had 32 air marshals, none of whom were deployed on domestic flights)
g) giving pilots tasers or handguns
h) patrolling the skies with fighter jets

I highly recommend the site Cooperative Research and the thoroughly researched, authoritative, comprehensive, and objective book The Complete 9/11 Timeline by Paul Thompson.

The following theories are false:
1. American Airlines Flight 77 N644AA, a Boeing 757, was not what hit the Pentagon on 9/11.
2. 9/11 was a Mossad conspiracy to frame Arabs.
3. The Twin Towers were blown up with explosives.
4. United Airlines Flight 175 N612UA, a Boeing 767 which hit the South Tower, had a missile pod on its underbelly.
5. The plane that hit the South Tower had no windows.
6. The victims' phone calls were faked.
7. A missile masked by a hologram, not the Boeing 767 American Airlines Flight 11 N334AA, hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
