Crackpot.

Those of us who follow the activities of the 9/11 truth movement know that one of the gateway drugs into the conspiratorial mindset was 9/11: The Big Lie, a book by Frenchman Thierry Meyssan. In it, he argued that a missile--not a passenger jet--struck the Pentagon. The book did very well in France, selling over 300,000 copies in the first months of its release, and has since been translated into 28 languages.

Marion Cotillard, who took home the best actress award at the Oscars this year, apparently spent a little too much time with Meyssan’s book. She thinks the twin towers were knocked down as part of an insurance fraud scheme.

"We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours.

It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."

Realizing just how insane this sounds, the UK’s Telegraph reports that “faced with losing millions as the notoriously patriotic Hollywood [wait, what was that?] film industry reacted against her vitriol, Cotillard claimed there had been a misunderstanding.”

Hm. I suppose there could have been a misunderstanding. Of course, after denying 9/11 she went on to claim that the moon landing also might have been faked. She'll fit right in.
