in the early days of 1080i it was actually a bit of a piece of jargon being used as a claim as essentially 720p and 1080i were the same

What I really don't like about 9/11 Truthers is that they RUINED any chance of mature and public discussions about what really happened that day. The U.S. government comes up with the 9/11 Commission Report which is (to my knowledge) the absolute WORST put-together public document I've seen released by our government. It didn't include important eye witness testimonies of people who had a different side of the story, it didn't mention all the f**k-ups that the government made and didn't show how our multi-billion dollar defense systems and intelligence agencies failed to prevent an event that they were informed was going to happen weeks before it did, and the Commission Report was completely one-sided. This Report wasn't an easy pill for the public to swallow, but the 9/11 Truthers gave the public a glass of water and now the public just forgot about this and I think the majority of us just accept the government's story for what it is. I was presented with much evidence (I don't believe everything in the film, but many things they say do make a lot of sense) and I believe the towers were brought down not only with planes but with explosives (mostly because of witnesses and video footage). Also, the government did very suspicious things like immediately removing video footage of a gas station camera near the Pentagon that recorded the "plane crash", immediately removing 3 of the 4 black boxes from Ground Zero and never revealing anything found inside and claiming the 4th black box was never recovered even though they're designed to withstand almost any kind of destruction. And what about the plane that hit the Pentagon? Where did the plane go after it "crashed"? Did it really get completely destroyed like the government says so? And who was in the plane that hit the Pentagon? Where they mentioned today during the anniversary along with the 3,000+ that were mentioned? The government just did really suspicious things but it's not okay to question them anymore because the Truthers came out and started jumping to conclusions, saying the government wanted this to happen even though THEY HAD NO EVIDENCE to support this. It's acceptable to talk badly about our government when it comes to almost everything.......but the Truthers have made disagreeing with our government's side of the 9/11 story taboo. It's no longer okay to ask questions about 9/11 that might clash with what was written in the 9/11 Commission Report. It's no longer okay to question the government on this matter. Oh no, now if you do that you're one of them. Now you believe Bush, Cheney and the terrorists were facebook pals who partied and got together and came up with a plan to bring down the towers to start a war for oil and blah blah blah blah........and people think you're some kind of tinfoil-hat wearing paranoid lunatic . Damn you Truthers with your crazy conspiracy theories.TheBigBadGRIM

I'm not prepared to out and out claim that the US government actively participated in the 9/11 attacks. However, I have seen enough evidence and testimony contrary to the official story that I think they knew what was coming at the very least. The fact that Rumsfeld came on TV on 9/10/01 and announced that they had "lost" 2.3 trillion dollars is very suspect. So that happens and then the 9/11 attacks occur, including a direct hit on the Pentagon in an area of the building where records of such monetary activity would be kept. How the hell do you lose 2.3 trillion dollars? How does that happen the day before terrorists hit the Pentagon and the WTC with planes?

And how the hell can people explain the witnesses who heard explosions in and around the basements of the towers BEFORE the planes hit? That sure as hell makes the freefall of the buildings seem more plausible.

At this point I think that a force bigger than the US government was in control of events. 9/11 took away many personal liberties and privacies, and turned the US in the direction that we're going in today. That is to say that we're going down.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] I can think of lots of benefits for the US. For starters it paved the way to attack Iraq and take Saddam Hussein, some in power could have thought that starting a war would help the US economy like it had happened before. Other than that they could gain strategic and economic resources if they managed to control Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of those things probably backfired but it doesn't mean there were no perceived benefits from doing all that.kuraimen

So they are smart enough (I really thinkg conspiracy theories give the US Goverment way too much credit) to pull of an attack like 9/11, and such an attack would need thousands of people to take part in, and managed to keep it a scret, yet dumb enough to not see the problems of attacking Iraq and Afghanistan, and not see easier ways to control them. For Iraq, you can crash a fighter in the no-fly zone claim Saddam shot it down, and set up other attacks on soldiers in Kuwait and blame that on Iraq, and now you have reason to start a war. For Afghanistan they could support the Taliban or start pushing funds to the Northern Alliance.

A problem most people who think 9/11 was an inside job have is they can't really explain what benefit the US would have got from staging the worst terrorist attack in US history. I just don't see it. We lost billions of dollars from the initial attack itself and the price tag just kept growing from there.

Maybe he was on to something. Or maybe it was just a lucky guess. I remember late that night when I finally got home I went onto a forum on the Namco website (yeah, a video game forum of all places) and one of the posts about it with a time stamp around 10AM mentioned that it was probably bin Laden.

Fact of the matter is that he doesn't like the US and had plenty of motive for the attacks. He also admitted to being the mastermind.
