Fidel Castro: Conspiracy theorist
Left-wing nutbuckets have a new reason to admire the hell out of Fidel Castro: El Presidente says the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job. To wit:
"Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro said the U.S. government misinformed Americans and the world about 9/11, echoing conspiracy theories about the terror attacks against the United States six years ago.
"In an essay read by a Cuban television presenter on Tuesday night, Castro said the Pentagon was hit by a rocket, not a plane, because no traces were found of its passengers.
"'Today one knows there was deliberate misinformation,' wrote Castro, who has not appeared in public since July of 2006 when life-threatening surgery for a secret illness forced him to hand over power to his brother Raul Castro.
"'Studying the impact of planes, similar to those that hit the Twin Towers, that had accidentally fallen on densely populated cities, one concludes that it was not a plane that crashed into the Pentagon,' Castro said."
"'Only a projectile could have caused the geometrically round hole that allegedly was made by the plane,' he said.
