Dans View as a Form of Cognitive Deviance - Essay Example

There is the presence of the 20th 9/11 attacker in Guantanamo bay and whose photos are in US possession adding to the fact that the attack was done by al Qaeda. The attacks dented the image of the government and the National Security State, which would not have been allowed I the government military conducted the attacks as detailed by Dan. There was numerous torture on suspects and masterminds of the 9/11 attacks including Khalid Sheikh showing that the attacks were conducted by Islamists. The Islamists were moving into the United States and attending flight lessons shows that there were preparations for the 9/11 attacks.  

 The evidence given by Dan is not very convincing for example where he says the pilots were not able to fly yet evidence shows that Islamists attended flight classes in the United States. The other evidence given by Dan is that Osama bin Laden is creation but he does not explain why Islamists honor and have a huge following for Osama bin Laden and were willing to do everything he said. When Osama was killed and during his lifetime, Islamists respected him and mourned his death showing that he was alive and not a creation of the CIA. If he were a CIA creation, he would not have a high following of al Qaeda. Evidence of the financial crash in 2008 points to the huge borrowing by the people and is well explained by economics and the view given by Dan is not believable as the evidence given cannot be proved of the superrich causing the financial crash.

Most Americans would be hysterical from the views given by Dan and would fear the government and the super-rich due to the lack of conclusive evidence of the 9/11 attacks and that 30 percent of the American population do not believe in the official view on the 9/11 attacks. However, since the evidence of the 9/11, attacks given by Dan are mere assertions and there is no way of proving them, most of the American population will not be able to believe Dan’s assertions. I am not convinced that Dan is right because of the manner in which he gives evidence of the attacks based on unscientific and proven theories of ideologies to make the theory convincing.

The other reason is that there have been many theories fronted to explain the 9/11 attacks since the official report was not to be believed and this could be one of them leading to the notion that it is just a mental creation and like the others, none are to be believed. Despite the fact that Dan’s assertions leave a lot to be desired in terms of convincing ability, he might be has having a point since the 9/11 attack has not been fully revealed to show the real truth.
