"Sorry, I'm going tough on Cenk now, but seriously, he was like allergic to Ventura's 911 ideas to the point that it was awkward. And yet Cenk always says when he is trying to make sense out of crazy Republican theories or talking points that "I'm trying here to make sense of this or find some logic in it but I just can't!" and yet, I feel like he doesn't give that same "chance" to the 911 inconsistencies people bring up.

I agree completely.

Listening to that exchange bought to mind watching Charlie Rose who, when he interviewed Naomi Klien on her book 'The Shock Doctrine',  got really defensive and kept interupting her, I mean A LOT, like I've never seen him do before, and trying to shoot down what she was saying. Very revealing of where Rose's head is really at. Worth watching if you can dig it up.

I've seen the interview, Charlie wouldn't even use the word torture he kept refering to it as 'enhanced interrogation'. Cenk, you have an internet show you don't have to play the mainstream game. 9/11 conspiracy theories are a taboo subject in the mainstream media and you're playing thier game by favouring the official story without taking the time to see the arguements presented in 'fringe, conspiracy nutjob movies'.

And you can't find this conspirarcy too unthinkable because of the humanity of the people at the top. That thay couldn't kill that many of their citizens. Do they care about the 4000 Americans that died in Iraq? That's about the same number that died in 9/11. If they don't care enough to send them to die in a for-profit war, then is it really that improbable that they staged the event killing about the same number of citezens that would necissitate public support for the war?
