I knew Bush and co could do anything and get away with it because of the psychological mind set of their followers.

With respect to their followers, that's pretty much true. Tribe minds can rationalize just about anything. And your anecdote helps in understanding how the Republican Party can get away with so many bizarre policy positions.

A lot of people who identify or sympathize with the 9/11 Truth Movement seem to think that, to the rest of us, controlled demolition is just inconceivable. That puzzles me. CD isn't hard to conceive of at all. The issue a lot of us have with CD has nothing to do with whether so-and-so is evil enough to do it; it's all the evidence pointing to the conclusion that nobody did it (CD, that is).

(Of course, CD isn't the only issue. It's the one in the OP.)
