fastom, you can pick any particular fact and dispute it. Depending on which websites you read, and which authors you trust, you can have any number of facts confirmed or denied. Most arguments, in my reading on the subject, do just this. They identify a list of facts that they can somehow dispute and then go on to declare that all official reportage must then be suspect because of it.
For myself, I have no way of establishing whether any of the 19 terrorists are still alive, unless I read something and choose to believe it. The list goes on.
The way I approach the whole issue is to assess the probabilities. In a nutshell, what are the chances that the US government or some part of it could pull off such a massive conspiracy and not leave behind all sorts of clues, turncoats, etc. to prove it? If such a conspiracy could really be proven, it would be the news story of the millennia. Wht hasn't someone with credibility (not Rosie O or Willie Nelson) come forward with witnesses willing to testify. Instant fame and wealth, you know? Woodward and Bernstein will be in the history books for years for breaking the news of a hotel breakin.
