Whacking the tin foil hats
Via Hot Air, Fox News is reporting that the USDOD will release a video today showing Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon on September 11th. This may come as some surprise to conspiracy theorists, who believe some variant of the story that something other than Flight 77 hit the Pentagon that morning. (And from there, we can leapfrog, all Michael Moore like, from one stone to the next, down the "Bush planned 9/11" road.)
Anyway, it was about a year ago that Popular Mechanics debunked the conspiracy theories but let's face it: forensics doesn't sell. Forensics doesn't shore up conspiracy-minded doubts. But video tends to accomplish both.
If it's true we do have a video of the plane hitting the Pentagon, it'll be comparable to a Zapruder Part II, wherein Lee Harvey Oswald is seen perched in the book depository window, reloading his rifle, with a t-shirt reading, "I assasinated the President and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
T-Minus about 25 minutes till someone claims the video is a fake (just like the picture of Oswald!).
