The "Loose Change" documentary has widen my field of vision about the attack on the World Trade Centers that fateful day of 9/11. This documentary is also extremely biased. It is definitely blaming the government for not preventing what happened on 9/11. Unfortunately since the government has withheld so much information about what has happened, and when that info leaks out, it makes the government look extremely bad. Still though, we can not completely trust this video; just because someone "said it" doesn't mean it is hard concrete evidence. There will always be speculation about what could have been done by us or the government.
The directors use LOGOS, ETHOS, and PATHOS to get their point across. He uses all three of these appeals to try and get people to believe that his reasons are true. Maybe they are, maybe they are not. Again there is no real evidence that this is true. He goes on to say that the towers collapsed because of demolition on the early floors of the building. He says that this is true because of a "fine dust" that was on a floor and that the government said the destruction of that floor was because of fire rushing down the elevator shafts. So, if the government said it was that; then how does he know about the "fine dust?" I hardly doubt he was there.
I am not necessarily disagreeing with the director on his reasons for everything happening. It has happened in the past where the government has hidden what has really happened, then released it later. As you can probably tell I have very mixed reactions and feelings to this film so far. I will probably not have a definite "side" chosen for a few years. Year after year new things come out and eventually we, the public, will find out the truth about what led up to and what happened on that unforgettable day of September 11, 2001.

I definitely agree with you on having mixed feelings on the video. I was actually persuaded by how professional the video looked with all its containing diagrams. However, once we had that class discussion I realized that the film had a lot of missing and open-ended evidence to support its opinion. I never questioned the articles that were displayed or the lack of cited sources. Its great that you were able to look between the incomplete information and not be persuaded blindly.
