[edit] Conspirator?

Under the Sept. 11 Attacks column heading, it never mentions any reason why Burlingame was considered a (co-)conspirator. I am not saying I believe it but would like to see some evidence that suggests this. So far it simply looks like a blanket accusation and not fit for inclusion in the stub page text Brandon 19:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Wendy

Is this business with Wendy's death really necessary? Seems like conspiracy theorist connect-the-dots crapola to me. Need some explanation here, or I'll delete in 5 days.  MortonDevonshire  Yo  · 17:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biased?

This article as it stands no contains no information on the conspiracy theories that link Charles Burlingame to a 9/11 plot. More than 50% of the "Sept. 11 Attacks" section of the article is, in fact, composed of emotional quotes about conspiracy theorists by Burlingame's family. These quotes are about as relevant to fact as the conspiracy theories themselves, and in the absence of something to balance them, they lend the appearance of bias to this entry.

Whether true or not, the conspiracy theories are an important part of where Charles Burlingame stands in world (and military) history. Conspiracy theories have become an important part of 9/11 history in the same way that conspiracy theories became so important to the history of the Kennedy assassination. Conspiracy theories regarding Burlingame should be at least briefly mentioned or outlined. Especially if space is going to be devoted to rebutting them. Right?

Additionally, no useful factual details - such as flight and crash times, or things Burlingame said before the crash - are present in the "Sept. 11 Attacks" segment. Someone please pad this out.
