Yeah, and anyone with a computer and a mailing list subscription can set 
up strawmen and body-check them!

Personally, I watched Terror Storm, and it was remarkably 
well-referenced. It covered specific historical events such as the 
Reichstag fire, Operation Northwoods, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the 7/7 
bombings, finally going into 9/11 after about 1:20, in a video running 
1:50.

But it's okay for you to do so -- criticizing the veracity of a video 
you haven't watched.

I know you haven't seen it, because it is entirely historical and 
well-referenced. It it nothing but interviews, video clips, and articles.

Or if you have seen it, you are blatantly lying about its content.

I'm not saying I buy into its conclusion, but I prefer to speak from an 
informed position, and I seriously wonder about the hostile, uninformed 
  reactions to such material.
