“9/11 truther” is a vague phrase. I think 9/11 is comparable to the Kennedy Assassination in one respect: the ubiquity of crackpot theories doesn’t mean the official story is the whole truth.

Paul has made clear he thinks there’s more to Al Queda’s motivation than what we usually hear–they hate us because of our faith and freedom, etc. He seems to think there’s more going on than meets the eye, which strikes me a sensible. There are a lot of different “truther” theories out there, and many of them are obviously insane. But to infer that all doubting of the official narrative is therefore insane calls into question your own critical thinking skills.
