Popular Mechanics (March, 2005):
9/11: Debunking The Myths (slow to load, but worth the wait)
9/11 Myths - dot - Com (Concise, detailed, continually updated w/latest pertinent info)
From the website's splash page:
Quote:The web is full of sites covering various conspiracy theories. Many seem well-researched, and appear to have plenty of detailed documentation to prove their claims. But are they really true?
We don't know, but one good way to start is by checking a few claims for yourself. We tried that with a number of 9/11 sites, with surprising results. Many of the "facts" we read were distorted, or simply wrong. Quotes were routinely taken out of context. Relevant information was often ignored. And much of this could be discovered with a minimum of online research.
Whatever you believe about 9/11, the spreading of false claims helps no-one, and we'd like to play a small part in revealing some of them. We're not about debunking entire conspiracies, then, but will use this site to zoom in on what we think are the more dubious stories, revealing the misquotes, the distortions, the inaccuracies that are so common online.
But does this make us an authority? No. If we've an overall message here, it's check things for yourself. Don't trust a site just because it's telling you what you want to believe. Don't believe us without evaluating our arguments and checking the references we provide, either (we're as likely to make mistakes as anyone else). Look into the claims yourself, discover both sides of the argument, and make your own mind up. The truth deserves nothing less.

NIST and the Worl Trade Center (Literally thousands of pages including numerous downloadable many-hundred-page .pdf's of actual resarch, reports, and findings)
And finally, essentially a much-more-heavilly-detailed expansion of the earlier referenced
Popular Mechanics article, the upcoming (Scheduled publication Aug. '06) book,
Debunking 9/11 Myths : Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts ... the book has not even hit the shelves, and already the whackos are pouncing on it. The comments they've posted beautifully illustrate the paranoid lunacy characteristic of the lot.
Now, again, those determined to embrace the fantastic will remain undisuaded by mere facts, logic, and reason. Never have been, never will - is an absolute immunity thing ... always has been, always will be. Remember, no matter how many times the aliens tell us they're responsible for crop circles, some idiot in a baseball cap and T-shirt will try to claim credit for one somewhere.
