9/11 nutjobs have Yale degrees

Thought the 9/11 crazies who thought the government blew up the Twin Towers were gone? Apparently they're not, and they've got some educated people on their side, as well. A group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth wants to tell you what really happened on that day. They claim that demolitions placed inside the towers, not the fires of crashed hijacked airliners, were the cause of the destruction. What mastermind placed the explosives there? The answer could shock you.

The government.

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Seeking to push their neo-con agenda throughout the world, the Bush administration blew up the Twin Towers and gave the press doctored videos of planes crashing into them. They then somehow lucked out on the Pentagon being attacked and another hijacked plane crashing in Pennsylvania on the same morning, and then paid al Qaeda to say they did it.

Duh.

However, Roger Bowen, general secretary of the American Association of University Professors thinks that these academics, whose degrees and doctorates are not in fields relevant to the claims, are wrong.

Bowen told the Associated Press what his Uncle Ben had once told him, "with academic freedom comes academic responsibility. And that requires them to teach the truth of their discipline, and the truth does not include conspiracy theories ...."

Bowen then put on his mask and web-slinged away.

  • Ugh, I've been having to deal with these conspiracy theorists at a message board I frequent. It's quite annoying, really.
