Yes.. of course, you could just be helping to drum up business for that
highly lucrative conspiracy industry that springs up with each and every
disaster/act of war and causes more harm...
Speaking for myself, when discussing these issues either with Muslim family
and friends in Oxford who want to believe that no jews went to work in the
Twin Towers that day, or with Sikh friends and relatives of my partner who
are quite happy to believe the worst of Muslims, I tend to just point out
what's happened since.
How likely is it that a bunch of people who sent an army into Baghdad just
to rescue the oil ministry, then fired the entire Iraqi army thereby
creating an immediate guerrilla army, then turned the whole of Iraq into a
free-fraud zone by creating a no-bid-contract industry, then collapsed Iraqi
oil production to a fraction of what it was under Saddam, would really be
capable of dreaming up a sophisticated plot to bring down the towers
*without anyone knowing about it or talking about it*?
It's a no-no, isn't it? But as long as all these folks are making money out
of films and books then Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld really are evil
geniuses whose reach is incalculable and whose stealth and diabolical....
no, sorry, it's still all bollocks, isn't it?

Coincidentally I watched Loose Change at the weekend, and while agree with
the general statement that more questions need to be asked (by the media,
public and politicians) the film is poorly made and does not stand up to
critical appraisal. There are too many straw man arguments, partial
quotations, incorrect interpretations of opinion, and down right lies to
take the film itself seriously. It is far too unbalanced.
I guess if it contributes to finding out more of what happen that fateful
day then it is a positive thing, but in my opinion the film is poor.
Some other critical views of the film:
