Loose Change Aka Conspiracy 9/11

Loose Change is a video that looks at the events of 9/11 and asks questions that lead the viewer to think the U.S. government was involved criminally. I think everybody should watch this to learn about critical thinking and to learn how people can use information to sway other people. The documentary is ripe with logical fallacies and uses questionable footage to prove outlandish points. I enjoy conspiracy theory and this video feeds my desire for it but it is important to not go overboard with it less you end up like Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory". The website for Loose Change provides a timeline for events leading up to 9/11 starting in the 60s which I find fascinating and they provide documentation to prove what they are saying. Ultimately, the video asks questions about the government that regular citizens should always be thinking but takes it too far when they state that the U.S. government murdered 3000 people. Whether anything is true or not the video is very important because it looks at the events critical and gives a different viewpoint. There has been a lack of questioning of government in our society lately even with the war in Iraq and this videos popularity is growing. I hope more people watch it and start using their minds.

I've seen some 9/11 conspiracy movies, and most of them use bad facts. They're also completely biased as to what they want to find, so they neglect many facts just to support their own. It's ridiculous to think the government allowed 9/11 to happen.
