Conspiracy theorists, what is your highest level of education?

[outofstep]

Well the way this thread seems to present it is if you believe any conspiracy at all you are stupid.

No where did I ever say anything like that, or even imply it.

However, the poll it pretty messed up. It looks like only 2 or 3 people did it right. Everyone else just randomly clicked buttons without reading the stipulations. Oh well...

JFK was struck twice on three shots.

Yeah, the Mythbusters did a cool experiment with ballistic gel "people" (real human bones in ballistic skin with simulated organs and vitals with clothes on) in a car just like JFK's car and took a shot from the same angle, distance, height and weapon used back then.

They produced/replicated 6 of the 7 injuries to both occupants with one shot, one bullet (not including the head shot on JFK of course)...The seventh non wound, just bounced off the leg but did not penatrate the ballistics gel leg like it did in JFK's leg.. His may have missed some of the bones or just hit them differently.

The bullet (for the mythbusters, again, not the head shot) hit a rib bone in the first victim and both fore arm bones in the second victim... This may be why the last wound was only superficial on the leg wound of the second victim in their experiment... It was interesting to say the least...

Conspiracy theories suck.

"THE FBI KNEW!!!"

"BUSH KNEW!!!"

Knew what? Of course nobody on the Left cared to ask that question.

Knew what?

I am just center of the left, But it appears there was advance warning of the attacks prior to 9/11. Even Clinton knew from the USS Cole attack that UBL was sending his boys to flight school in the US for training to take off and fly commercial planes..

Phoenix Memo

The Phoenix Memo is a letter sent to FBI headquarters on July 10, 2001 by FBI special agent Kenneth Williams, then stationed in Phoenix, Arizona, recommending the assembling of a worldwide listing of civil aviation schools. At the time Williams was investigating students at some of these schools for possible terrorist links.
His recommendation was ignored, and Bill Gertz suggests that this is one of several intelligence failures leading to the 9/11 terrorist attack.

9/11 Commision Report Page 250 gets good up to page 272, which talks about the Phoenix memo, the next pages are interesting also.. Ohh heck,, all of it is a good read.....

My conspiracy theory starts at the days leading up to the Iraq War and why we are still there now...

(maybe I should take the poll now):aigo:

Clarke has written that on the evening of September 12,President Bush told him and some of his staff to explore possible Iraqi links to 9/11.“See if Sad-dam did this,” Clarke recalls the President telling them.“See if he’s linked in any way.”60 While he believed the details of Clarke’s account to be incorrect, President Bush acknowledged that he might well have spoken to Clarke at some point, asking him about Iraq.61

Responding to a presidential tasking, Clarke’s office sent a memo to Rice on September 18, titled “Survey of Intelligence Information on Any Iraq Involvement in the September 11 Attacks.” Rice’s chief staffer on Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, concurred in its conclusion that only some anecdotal evidence linked Iraq to al Qaeda.The memo found no “compelling case” that Iraq had either planned or perpetrated the attacks.
