The last word on 9/11 conspiracies

Heh. This comment in response to a 9/11 conspiracist at Digg.com is pretty amusing:

Do you really be live (sic) the same people who didn't bother to plant WMD in Iraq conspired to commit 9/11 and got away with it? Is this what you are saying?

Conspiracy theorists amuse me. Here we have a government that spews secrets out to the press on an ongoing basis, and yet somehow it was supposedly capable of pulling of the assassination of JFK and 9/11, both plots that hundreds would have been in on, without a single person blowing the whistle. Oh if they could just put that child-like faith to better use. They always remind me of the classic SNL skit in which President Reagan acts like a bumbling idiot in front of the public and then turns into a brilliant but evil genius behind closed doors with his cabinet, with the point being neither portrayal is accurate or possible.
