US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape
Robotron23 writes "The BBC is reporting that the US government has decided to release the videotape depicting the crash of Flight 77 into the Pentagon building, nearly five years after the 9/11 attacks. The government had previously withheld the tape due to 'ongoing investigations' into al-Qaeda's Zacarias Moussaoui. A government representative commented that they 'hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories.'"
What the hell, did they use a cluster of 386s to render the thing?
Any evidence of a 747 hitting the pentagon would be quite a surprise and likely fake given that Flight 77 was a 757.

Why did you put a large extra space in between "conspiracy" and "too" in the last sentence?

It's shaped just like a robot's anus.
Yeah. Bush being eeeevil, has dedicated the last four and a bit CPU-years of the Pentagon's secret beowulf cluster of Crays to rendering the snazziest pseudo-real computer graphics since that Final Fantasy movie they made so much fuss over a few years back. All in order to cover up the huge Texaco oil truck backing up to the wall, a guy in a ten-gallon hat getting out, unreeling and lighting a fuse, and scarpering in an unmarked black helicopter full of G-men.
But at least we now know that the Pentagon did in fact shoot first.
Dude, everyone can tell you're faking. The conditioning not only hides the fnords, but also the space that is left behind when you can't see them.

If that surgery has a high mortality rate, then yes. Yes he should go under the knife.

3) Release it just prior to the attack. That way the media can preview the tape but still present it as a live broadcast.
"The French"...
What all of them?
Or just one loon?
As far as I can tell, "The French" is just one guy with smelly armpits in a country across the Atlantic with a funky symmetrical 1/x-shaped tower. He wears a black beret, form-fitting black trousers, and a red-and-yellow striped shirt. He eats nothing but cheese and drinks nothing but wine, and he has a single opinion about everything to do with the United States: it sucks.
Oh, and he has an amorous pet skunk.

Thats what you goons want us to believe. Why do you think we're all suckers?

Ok, so first of all we all know that nobody walks home 10 miles. That is just common sense. And just why is it that *all of the sudden* after 9/11 you no longer live in Old Town?? Something smells fishy. Second, kerosene burns in lamps, and the pentagon is a very secretive place, so they probably don't have lights. Therefore they could not possibly have any kerosene there. Third, smoke rises so you couldn't possibly have smelled it from a *mile* away. Like what, the laws of physics just didn't apply that day? Well I asked a physics professor and he said the laws of physics *always* apply! So, just how is it that *you* would smell like kerosene unless, obviously, you had rubbed kerosene on your clothing to make people *think* there was a something like kerosene burning. As for the photograph, its obviously *you* that took the film because you didn't want any documented evidence that you were in fact at the National Airport the whole time! Obviously you were in the mysterious "unmarked white plane" and had just landed.
Nice try, Mr. Three-Letter-Agency, but we can see right through your web of lies.

Well at least it didn't manage to get through every single defense available and crash directly into the headquarters of the most advanced and expensive military on the planet. Because THAT would have been embarassing.
Ok the conspiracy is crap. But how smart is the debunker?

Ha ha, you consipiracy nuts always make me laugh. If you'd open your eyes, you'd see the obvious: THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY! The events of 9/11 were all according to the secret plan of *one single person* who, acting completely independantly, crashed the four planes and fabricated the necessary evidence to cover-up his involvement.
You hear that, you rabid conspiracy freak?! JUST ONE GUY.
