Why "truthers" want accept al Qaeda's confessions on 9-11 attacks

Victor Davis Hanson looks at what Osama bin Laden has said about 9-11 and what Robert Fisk recently said questioning what "actually" happened.

There is really a simple answer and it is hidden in Fisk's statement:

But like everyone else, I would like to know the full story of 9/11, not least because it was the trigger for the whole lunatic, meretricious "war on terror" which has led us to disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and in much of the Middle East....
The truthers really know that the logical consequences of what al Qaeda and bin Laden are responsible for is a war against that organization and its supporters and they would rather deny the facts than deal with the consequences of dealing with facts. Since they don't like the war, they would rather deny its logical premise than suggest an alternative way of dealing with it. The truthers and Fisk are the ostriches of our age.

In order to deny the premise for the war they must deny the truth of that premise. It is a form of denial that is familiar to the leftist in all conflicts.
