Oliver Stone May Go "Truther" On Us

Hopefully he'll rethink making a total ass out of himself.

Moscow -- U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone, who surprised many with the patriotic flavour of his new film World Trade Center, hinted in Moscow yesterday that he is considering a more controversial follow-up investigating the "conspiracy" around 9/11.

"There is a great story in a movie, a conspiracy by a group of people in the American administration who have an agenda and who used 9/11 to further that agenda," he told journalists in Russia.

There could be a "fascinating project [on] what happened after Sept. 11," the director said at his packed press conference on the fifth anniversary of the attacks.

Stone accused U.S. President George W. Bush of mishandling the fight against Osama bin Laden's militants and using the crisis to stoke fear and bolster his own power at home in a way that was "right out of George Orwell." AFP

Sounds like he may be willing to go with this, simply because it's an "interesting story". Yes, that would be a good story and movie, but not based around real events. These conspiracy theories are thoroughly debunked, and for Stone to make a movie around the real events would be disgraceful and I'm not sure he's prepared for the backlash.

In related news, HotAir has 4-part video of the debunkers at Popular Mechanics and authors of Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts, debating the Loose Change children. While the Loose Change truthers come off like the assclowns that they are, I really don't think the PM guys did as good of a job as they could have done, but I think that has a lot to do with time constraints.

And just so none of you "Truthers" out there can claim ignorance because you couldn't find the abundance of debunking information, here's the goods (although there's plenty more where this came from)

First the "Screw Loose Change - Not Freakin' Again Edition" Video runs through point by point each ridiculous claim made in Loose Change "Second Edition"
Then we have the viewer guide to watch LC Second Edition. And if that's not enough debunking for you, I highly recommend reading this thorough debunking specific to the Pentagon portion of the conspiracy theories.
