The contributors to this volume argue that the members of the Dewey Commission were right when they said that the Moscow Trials of the 1930s were a sham. Woodward and Bernstein were correct when they thought that Nixon was complicit in the conspiracy to deny any wrongdoing in the Watergate Hotel break-in. And if we either accept the terrorist events of 9\/11 were committed by Al-Qaeda or that the Bush Administration was responsible, then it seems we are endorsing some theory about a conspiracy to commit an act of terror on American soil. As such, there is no reason to reject conspiracy theories sui generis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume challenges the prima facie that conspiracy theories are irrational beliefs, arguing that we should treat conspiracy theories and the phenomena of conspiracy theories seriously.
