10. I read that article
My take was that they determined some theories were more credible than others. Here are the theories in order, with the editors' assessment of each (actual quotes edited for space):

1. There were no suicidal Islamic hijackers - "To believe this, you have to believe that the government is evil enough to cook up a . . . plot against its own people in its largest city."

2. Explosives really brought down the towers - ". . . you have to believe someone could booby-trap some of the world's busiest buildings without anyone noticing."

3. Flight 77 never hit the Pentagon - ". . . many in the Truth Movement refute this as the type of wild fantasy that discredits their more reasonable claims."

4. The government let it happen - "<PNAC's 'new Pearl Harbor' report> gives theorists plenty to go on."

5. There's too much we don't know - "Many of these theories strain the patience of the most credulous. But dismissing an entire tree for one rotten apple may be rash. For those who simply can't wrap their minds around such an epic deception, many are eager to frame things in a more pragmatic perspective."

And now, since I have the magazine in front of me, I'm going to look at their "Found Porn" page for a cheap juvenile laugh.
