9-11 Conspiracy: Guido Stempel Interview

According to pollsters, more than a third of Americans believe the government holds some responsibility for the 9-11 terrorist attacks. The poll, by the Scripps Howard News Service out of Ohio University, showed 36% of overall said it is either "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them. Poll respondents suggest that's "because government officials wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East." The conspiracy theories involve a cruise missile attack on the Pentagon, rather than the airplane that is said to have hit it, and government-planted explosives in the World Trade Center that caused the collapse of the towers. 36% of Americans believe this. It might sound like a lot, but maybe not with a little context. We talked with pollster Guido Stempel, professor of journalism at Ohio University.
