Konferens om gåtan bakom 11 September
I Los Angeles hölls i helgen en kongress om konspirationsterorin om vad som egentligen hände den 11 September 2001. Förklaringarna till attentaten var spretiga, allt från myndigheterna inkompetens till att attentaten skett på USA:s initiativ för att utlösa ett världskrig eftersom USA:s vapentillverkare och oljebolag skulle tjäna en förmögenhet på dåden och att en ny världsordning under USA:s ledning skulle etableras.
