FT265

In FT261, I noted that the US State Department employed one Todd Leventhal to rebut conspiracy theories. There is now a State Department website devoted to this under the legend: “Conspiracy theories exist in the realm of myth, where imaginations run wild, fears trump facts, and evidence is ignored.”

The treatment of the handful of topics covered varies. The attempt to rebut some of the 9/11 theories is really quite good, though it has nothing to say about the recent demonstration of the presence of thermite, implying demolition, in the ruins. But the treatment of the Kennedy assassination is just insulting.
