"I cannot - and will not - be a party to those who claim the buildings were destroyed not by hijacked airliners but by explosives planted inside the structures."

Uh Oh. Thompson bought the Official 9/11 Government Conspiracy Theory that the Crazy Ragheads Did It All By Themselves.

Better watch those crazy ragheads. We'll all be like Elmer Fudd. "Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting wagheads."

"The conspiracy claims by those who say Osama bin Laden and his rabid band of followers could not possibly have planned and executed the attacks that killed more than 3,000 Americans on that fateful day are, in my opinion, just plain wrong," Thompson continues.

"Just plain wrong"? Now I'm REALLY convinced. Why? Because Doug Thompson says so. There it is in plain English. It's just plain wrong" No facts or evidence required. It's "just plain wrong."

After all, Thompson says, "My 40-plus years as a journalist, coupled with too many years working inside the government, tell me that the scenarios laid out by the 9/11 conspiracy buffs just don't pass the smell test."

"40-plus years"? Thompson must be a "trained" professional. You know? Like a seal. Aren't you convinced too?

Ask Doug if they threatened to castrate him.

Or has he been castrated already?
