I’d have to say that the biggest flaw with this account of how trooferism became mainstream is its utter failure to establish that trooferism has in any way entered the mainstream.   Apart from the polls worded so that they can encompass people who think the Bush administration could have done more to prevent the attacks based on what it knew — hardly a radical notion or conspiracy theory — there’s nothing.   Not a single American of any mainstream influence is cited, with a crank  talk show host and a guy who does “teach-ins” in Madison the most promiment.  Michael Moore is cited but it’s conceded that he’s not actually a troofer, although apparently saying that the Bush administration used 9/11 as a pretext for a war against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 is a comparable conspiracy theory rather than an obvious truth.  And using Charles Krauthammer’s diagnosis to quietly conflate harsh criticism of Bush with trooferism is a nice touch.
