I've always striven to view with circumspection both the Official Version of 911 and the hardline conspiracy explanations. There has been a great deal of futile debate on this board between the representatives of the two camps.

Am therefore grateful to George Monbiot for lashing out at them in this two-month-old article that has only today worked its way through my pile.
