30. "Other Truthers have already challenged his version"? Where?

JackRiddler has made an honest attempt to frame the "official story," but you'll notice that other Truthers have already challenged his version.


Really? I can't find any post by a "Truther" challenging JackRiddler's definition of the "official story." I've found some disagreement on other points, but not about his definition of "the official story" itself. Could you please provide either a link or a post number?

Nor can JackRiddler document that what he has written, however reasonable, is really "the official version." As I say, there is actually no such entity as the "official story."


Can you cite an official sourse that differs from what JackRiddler has defined as "the offical story"?

It's naive to assume that the perpetrators would even put out a single, coherent official story.


1) What JackRiddler has defined as "the official story" is a very general outline and can include variants, such as the different time lines given by NORAD at different times. So the official story is not single and coherent. But there are some common themes on which all variants agree. And it seems to me that JackRiddler has correctly identified those common themes, or at least some of them.

2) Your use of the word "perpetrators" assumes an "inside job" hypothesis. Not everyone who questions the offical story believes that 9/11 was a full-fledged "inside job." I, for example, don't doubt the role of real live Al Qaeda terrorists. I'm more inclined to suspect criminal negligence on the part of high officials, and possibly LIHOP.
