I pretty much accept Hume's view on testimony concerning consipiracy theories.
As for 9/11, I don't believe it was an inside job, however, I do believe that the American government is covering something up (their incompetence perhaps).
Either way, I think it is completely irrelevant. Whether or not the state did these horrible things is not important. If we manage to arrest and give these people a trial, what then? Probably nothing, the state will continue to grow and continue to take our freedoms (it is a leviathon remember). Whether or not these conspiracies took place changes nothing in the political sphere apart from a few political disagraces and imprisonments.
