No fan of Liberals am I, but even I would not classify the utterly ridiculous notion that Bush & Co were responsible for 9/11 as conventional Liberal thought.
Chances are that the kooks that believe this conspiracy theory also abide by many other Liberal theorems, but it simply isn't fair to tar Liberals or The Left with this brush.
As for the cretins who do believe these theories...well, they are cretins, aren't they?

Did you read the article about the CIA destroying some tapes that congress wanted without acknowledging they had them until they were gone. Perhaps thats why there are so many conspiracy beliefs.

What supposedly was on these tapes?

No.
You cannot go wrong counting on incompetence.
I wish people were as clever, diabolically or not, as the paranoids would believe.

If our government could do all the things that the paranoiacs on the Left say it has done, you'd think it could do a better job at running the post office and the DMV.

If you dont mind a link from the NYT (I know, I know):
C.I.A. Was Urged to Keep Interrogation Videotapes
Quote:White House and Justice Department officials, along with senior members of Congress, advised the Central Intelligence Agency in 2003 against a plan to destroy hundreds of hours of videotapes showing the interrogations of two operatives of Al Qaeda, government officials said Friday.
The chief of the agency's clandestine service nevertheless ordered their destruction in November 2005, taking the step without notifying even the C.I.A.'s own top lawyer, John A. Rizzo, who was angry at the decision, the officials said. [..]
Top C.I.A. officials had decided in 2003 to preserve the tapes in response to warnings from White House lawyers and lawmakers that destroying the tapes would be unwise, in part because it could carry legal risks, the government officials said.
But the government officials said that Jose A. Rodriguez Jr., then the chief of the agency's clandestine service, the Directorate of Operations, had reversed that decision in November 2005, at a time when Congress and the courts were inquiring deeply into the C.I.A.'s interrogation and detention program. Mr. Rodriguez could not be reached Friday for comment.
