This topic is so mindboggleingly large that in hindsight there would always be strange things that could prove to be ammo for conspiracy theorists. If you understand what I said in that sentence, you understand why I am not concerned AT ALL that these videos don't show the plane very well or that not all of the rumoured videos have been released. These things happen.
The problem with the conspiracy theorists, which I don't understand, is that they are so fucking terrible at making conspiracies. KISS Keep it simple stupid. Here: I'll make a good one off the top of my head:
Osama Bin Laden hates America. He genuinely does, so he wouldn't be willing to work with American operatives. But lets say somebody high up (not the president himself, but somebody in the CIA with strong conservative beliefs) sees Americas state of decay among world power, become distressed, and longs for another Pearl Harbor (as was mentioned in the Project for the New American Century documents). So a small group of them, (always in conspiracy theories it is "them") agrees to assist Osama in a way that not even he will know - they will redirect any knowledge of impending attacks, all the while leaking information to Osama about our weaknesses to a potential 911 attack.
Now, there is a great fucking conspiracy, and I made it up off the top of my head. The beauty of it? It doesn't require fucking missing planes, missing people, presidential and senatorial approval, or any other fanciful constructs that conspiracy theorists fail to reason just wont happen. If there was a conspiracy, it was at the base of this operation. Real planes hit those buildings, real passengers aboard real passenger airplanes died. To fake something of this magnitude simply couldn't be done.
