DENVER -- Libertarian presidential hopeful Mary Ruwart plays footsie with the "9/11 Truth" conspiracy theorists in an interview with Liberty, and won't back away when Reason's David Weigel questions her about it:

I think we don't know because there are so many unanswered questions. That's why I think we should have investigated it as a forensic site. If I was the commander-in-chief that's exactly what I would have done, so we could prevent it in the future.

"Unanswered questions"? Read the Popular Mechanics debunking of the Truther claims. The whole "controlled demolition/inside job" nonsense peddled by the Truthers is a senseless rejection of Occam's Razor. If (a) two hijacked jumbo jets crash into two buildings and then (b) the buildings collapse, how hard is it to accept that (a) was the cause of (b)?

Ah, but that's just what they want us to think!

"Unanswered questions," indeed. Pass the tinfoil . . .
