Whacky Conspiracy Theories 101

One for 9/11 Truthers out there (and we mean out there). Frank Lowy's Westfield group has just announced it will be pumping $600mill into developing a shopping centre on the old twin towers site in New Yoik. A very own Fountain Gate for lower Manhattan. As the smug yuppies say, noice. Apparently Westfield acquired the rights in July 2001, which makes the World Trade Centre attacks two months later seem a little too convenient, if you know what I mean. It wouldn't be the first time a property developer has torched an old building in order to replace it with something more amenable. Let's face it, Westfield are a damned sight more competent than anything to come out of Washington in the last eight years, and no more crazier than the theory believed by up to third of Americans - that the US Government attacked it's largest city to create a pretext for war. Then again, this is from a country where four in five people believe in angels. God help us all, they have the bomb
