Most people think in paradigms that fit their acculturation to the society and its propaganda or their dissatisfaction with their experiences. Thus, if you already distrust the government you can accept anything that bolsters that opinion, and often uncritically, and the opposite is true for those who support it. Somewhere between the official version of 9/11 and the website conspiracy versions lies the truth. But it takes logic, science, hard research and a truly skepitcal mind to find it. His skepticism is only toward anything that does not fit his sense of a benign government that would not conspire in an event to kill its own populace for gain. The other reality is that "the govermnet did it" could mean that a segment of the intelligence community acted on behalf of the interests of a segment of the class or its own interests unbeknownst to others, that a negative asset backfired, or that top officials engineered and approved the events. The pressure from those opposed to the current regime is to believe and then spout anything that points to Bush and Cheney, but that's not always a useful research method and leads to speculations that aren't supported by facts."
