Journal Entry #1

http://www.scrippsnews.com/911poll

The claim being made in this article is that the US government may be at fault for the terrorist attacks on 9/11. This claim is being backed up by a poll that says 1/3 of Americans believe that our government created these attacks in order to go to war in the Middle-East. The controversial claim being made in this article is a claim of fact. The author also brought up several other American Government conspiracy theories in order to make his claim more believable. He also used a poll to show that a large percentage of Americans believed this theory to be true. I feel that this conspiracy theory in particular is absurd.
