Just in time for the fifth anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil comes this article in Britain’s Daily Mail:

The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an “inside job”, according to a group of leading academics.

Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries.

The claims have caused outrage and anger in the US which marks the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Monday.

But leading scientists say the facts of their investigations cannot be ignored and say they have evidence that points to one of the biggest conspiracies ever perpetrated.

Now, if you’re like me, the first question you asked was, “Who are these ‘leading scientists’?” As it turns out, I’ve never heard of any of them, and you probably haven’t either. Seems that the author of this article, someone named Jaya Narain, uses the term to lend credibility to what these morons are saying.

Professor Steven Jones, who lectures in physics at the Brigham Young University in Utah, says the official version of events is the biggest and most evil cover up in history.

He has joined the 9/11 Scholars for Truth whose membership includes up to 75 leading scientists and experts from universities across the US.

Prof Jones said: “We don’t believe that 19 hijackers and a few others in a cave in Afghanistan pulled this off acting alone.

“We challenge this official conspiracy theory and, by God, we’re going to get to the bottom of this.”

In essays and journals, the scientists are giving credence to many of the conspiracy theories that have circulated on the internet in the past five years.

They believe a group of US neo-conservatives called the Project for a New American Century, set on US world dominance, orchestrated the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to hit Iraq, Afghanistan and later Iran.

One trip to the web site maintained by these left-wing nut jobs will tell you all you need to know about their “credibility” on this matter. I mean, come on, this whole “neo-conservative group bent on world dominance” bit is a little long in the tooth, isn’t it? Ever since the Republicans took control of Congress in 1994 the liberals in this country have worked overtime spreading rumors about “evil neo-conservatives bent on world dominance” and how they were doing things to purposely start a middle-eastern war so we could steal all of the oil. It was crap then, and it is crap now.

Professor Jones said it was impossible for the twin towers to have collapsed in the way they did from the collision of two aeroplanes.

He maintains jet fuel does not burn at temperatures high enough to melt steel beams and claims horizontal puffs of smoke seen during the collapse of the towers are indicative of controlled explosions used to bring down the towers.

The group also maintains World Trade Centre 7 – a neighbouring building which caught fire and collapsed later in the day – was only partially damaged but had to be destroyed because it housed a clandestine CIA station.

First it was “evil neo-cons,” now it’s the CIA.

I’m no professor, but even I know that jet fuel was not the only thing burning after the two jets crashed into the Twin Towers. The jet fuel ignited a whole host of materials in the building, including office furniture, carpet, paper, plastic, cloth, and many many others, and the temperature was obviously high enough to melt metal.

At least the article quotes on person who seems to have his full mental facilities:

Christopher Pyle, professor of constitutional law at Mt Holyoake College in Massachusetts, has dismissed the academic group.

He said: “To plant bombs in three buildings with enough bomb materials and wiring? It’s too huge a project and would require far too many people to keep it a secret afterwards.

“After every major crisis, like the assassinations of JFK or Martin Luther King, we’ve had conspiracy theorists who come up with plausible scenarios for gullible people. It’s a waste of time.”

Unfortunately, with the prominence of the Internet, these types of morons can easily find an audience for their conspiracy theories and keep them alive for a long time. Then, in an effort to boost readership, the media highlights these clowns and makes them seem more credible than they really are.

The really scary part is to remember that these people not only vote, but they breed.
