Canadian professors buck American government's 9-11 storyline
Rob O'Flanagan of the Guelph Mercury writes about two University of Guelph professors who offer a scathing critique of the American government's version of the events of 9-11.
Land of conspiracy?

A pair of University of Guelph professors have joined a growing number of academics and filmmakers who are writing and broadcasting their doubts about the official explanation behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001.
In a host of public forums, John McMurtry, professor emeritus of philosophy, and Michael Keefer, a professor in the School of English and Theatre Studies, have presented arguments alleging a plot on the part of the American government, business and military leaders related to the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
More than 2,700 people died.
"I found when I started to read about this that I had this feeling of absolute nausea," Keefer said in a telephone interview. "It's nauseating, I find, to contemplate the kind of possibility that forces itself on you from the evidence -- that highly placed people within the America state perpetuated the crimes. That is what I believe."

Mistakes
What a poorly researched article.
"According to reports, some 3,000 books have now been published, each attempting to debunk the official explanation, while offering an array of theories on what really happened.
There have been nearly 1.5 million views of the documentary "Loose Change" on YouTube, and tens of thousands of viewers have watched "911 Mysteries.""
First, a minimum of 10 million people have viewed Loose Change, probably upwards of 100 million views.
Second, there's no way 3,000 books have been written debunking the official explanation. No way. It may be in the dozens, at best.
Nausea was my reaction...
""I found when I started to read about this that I had this feeling of absolute nausea," Keefer said in a telephone interview. "It's nauseating, I find, to contemplate the kind of possibility that forces itself on you from the evidence -- that highly placed people within the America state perpetuated the crimes. That is what I believe."
If you have any capacity for reason and honestly address it, the unavoidable conclusion does nauseate a person. My reaction was much like that of Keefer.
I can only offer encouragement to McMurtry nad Keefer in their efforts. You have to wonder if the capacity for serious sophisticated self-reflection has been impaired or lost south of the Canadian border?
McMurtry and Keefer..
...don't believe them!
