Most of the world knows about what happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States. We all know the official story about the conspiracy of 20 skyjackers who took over four planes and crashed three of them into buildings. What isn't clear is if this official story is really accurate and if there were other players involved in the 9-11 attacks. Critical thinking and principled skepticism are commodities that are in short supply among the American population, so Infoshop.org presents this page in an effort to help people who are asking tough questions about what really happened on September 11, 2001.

David Corn on 9-11 Conspiracy Theories
The high point—or low point—came when I discovered that one of the chief peddlers of 9/11 conspiracy theories was reporting that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan had sent two bottles of poisoned wine to this conspiracy-monger's primary source. This source was a fugitive in Canada with a criminal record stretching almost twenty years who claimed he was a supersecret agent with foreknowledge of 9/11. (All this sounds unbelievable? Click here.) For the conspiracy crowd, I was on the wrong side of the line that divides people into those who believe that Greenspan would indeed personally try to assassinate a con man in Canada to keep the big secret of 9/11 under wraps and those who find such talk absolutely bonkers.

9/11: Debunking The Myths
Healthy skepticism, it seems, has curdled into paranoia. Wild conspiracy tales are peddled daily on the Internet, talk radio and in other media. Blurry photos, quotes taken out of context and sketchy eyewitness accounts have inspired a slew of elaborate theories: The Pentagon was struck by a missile; the World Trade Center was razed by demolition-style bombs; Flight 93 was shot down by a mysterious white jet. As outlandish as these claims may sound, they are increasingly accepted abroad and among extremists here in the United States.
