There’s a new poll out from Scripps Howard/Ohio University claiming “Thirty-six percent of respondents overall said it is ‘very likely’ or ‘somewhat likely’ that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them ‘because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East.’"

When you watch the following video (with graphic images and language that might be offensive to some), you will understand why (hat tip to Ms Underestimated). This nine-minute clip includes an interview done by Jack Blood, a syndicated radio talk show host with some bizarre ideas about America. His guest was Dylan Avery, the 22-year old director of the 9/11 conspiracy theory schlockumentary “Loose Change.”

As you watch, you will be amazed to hear two Americans mock the “cowardice” of plane passengers unable to defeat terrorists wielding only box cutters. This video also includes an interview with the “Loose Change” crew on Air America wherein it is asserted that Todd Beamer’s famous “Let’s Roll” declaration was a fiction, “an American slogan to get us motivated to do something about terrorism.”

Is it any wonder that 36 percent of the public believe the Bush administration was somehow involved in the worst attack on America in six decades?
