I'm all in favor of dropping "conspiracy theorist" from any future discussions of this story.

Why would you want to do that? Actually, it seems to me that the negative image that associates with the term "conspiracy theory" has faded quite a bit since 911. After all, the terrorist attack on America was quite visably a conspiracy. And future attacks that are in the planning stages are also conspiracies. This is a fact and it has not been lost on the American people.

Furthermore, connecting the WTC1 to OKC to WTC2/911 is not rocket science. Even your average Joe can see the possibility, if not the probability, of that particular "conspiracy theory".

The problem I have with the term is that it's a label used by the mainstream media to laughingly discount reporting or ideas without ever examining them. And unless the mainstream examines, investigates and eventually verifies such claims, no action will be taken in governmental, criminal investigative and political realms. Conspiracy theories can be ignored by people just on the basis that they are conspiracy theories (read the posts from Jim above, who simply dismissed the whole thing ad hominem apparently without reading any of the coverage).
