The Evolution of 9/11's Loose Change
August 17, 2006
Ever since I watched smoke coming out of the first WTC tower as I drove over the Manhattan Bridge on that fateful morning of September 11th, 2001, I wondered who and what was behind such a horrible act. I was disappointed and deeply skeptical of the official story as I watched my President and my country choose War to respond to War in the name of all of us who were affected on that day.
Since 2001, I have become less interested in the conspiracy theories of how our government may have played some kind of role, and more interested in looking forward to transform our political and economic culture to become more healthy, constructive, and sustainable.
However, as I've been getting my MBA in Europe and Asia, there have many many that have done tedious work of gathering information in an organized and compelling narrative to communicate their alternative versions of the 9/11 attacks on the American people. I watched one of the most popular videos last night, called Loose Change. Despite the sometimes overzealous desire to prove its case, it definitely got me reinterested in the conversation, and was well worth the watch.
For a counter version, with a narrator pointing out inacurracies, check out Screw Loose Change. The wikipedia entry seems have a balanced view of the film.

Loose Change, Kevin Barrett and the 9/11 Scholars are only
covering half of the truth, which turns it into a limited hangout.
Same to the Vanity Fair-NORAD negligence hangout.
The rest is documented here:

I just spent some time looking at that site as well as a site that seemed to claim that lots of the actual footage that we watched on that day was fake. I'm extremely skeptical. The idea that television stations and anchors could have had fake versions of that kind of disaster ready to go on that day is ridiculous.
