Pinky and I have been getting lots of e-mails asking us what we think of the video Loose Change. For those of you who don't know, Loose Change is a documentary that claims that 9-11 was an 'inside job', perpetrated by the U.S. government. I guess because we tend to be critical of the U.S. people automatically assume we're going to love the conclusions of this film.
Well, all you Loose Change fans can stop e-mailing now. Pinky and I finally sat down and watched it last night, and I had to summon every bit of my patience just to sit through the whole thing. Did not like. The saddest thing about this thing is how hard it tries to perform the “carefully-reasoned forensic inquiry” vibe. So embarrassing.
Just to be clear, I don’t know if the U.S. government is actually behind 9-11 or not. If somebody could produce a credible 'smoking gun' document or some other evidence that proves that a small group of crazy elites within the U.S. government planned, coordinated, and carried out the whole thing, of course I would be fascinated; I’d LOVE to study that evidence very carefully. But nothing like that is in this video.

Posted by Kim: Bunny, you know from studying history that the U.S. government has done lots of things like this before, especially in other countries, right? So why doesn't it seem possible to you that there might have been somebody in the U.S. government that wanted to organize such a thing? Or maybe they just created 'an opening' so that someone else (like terrorists) who really wanted to do something bad would then be able to carry it out?

Posted by Bunny: I'm not saying it's impossible. In fact your second scenario has been one of our favorite 'regime change' stunts of the post-WWII era. But mainly I just wanted to point out that this documentary sucks. Because we've been getting so many e-mails about it.

Posted by Pinky: Kim, when you mention terrorists in your question to Bunny, did you have anyone or any group in particular in mind?

Posted by Kim: No. But aren’t terrorists anybody who uses terror as a way to get what they want? It's like Daisy was pointing out, we have entities like corporations or governmental agencies here in the U.S. that export terrorism to all over the planet all the time. So, why not?
