[Imc-uk-features] 9/11 protests feature

[mish]

Hello
        
I must admit I'm still sceptical of the views of the 9/11 truth movement
(if that is accurate).  I will also freely admit that I haven't spent
much time looking into it (and manos recent email expresses why I
haven't bothered [1])
        
At the same time I have great respect for the people behind this
feature.

So what I'd suggest is an addition to the feature to give some of the
doubting view point.  I will try and do some work on it this evening,
but if someone else wants to beat me to it that would be fine :)

As there are people involved in indymedia who hold views on both sides
of the debate, I think the feature should represent both sides of the
debate.
