Um... no.
This is America. You have the right to wear a tinfoil hat if you want to.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the FREEDOM OF SPEECH, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
That's the First Amendment to the Constitution. That's what thousands of our brave men and women have died fighting for in Iraq. (Not to mention the countless others who have died in other wars and conflicts)
You do their memories a great disservice whenever you make comments as ridiculous as this. Some people call 9/11 conspiracy theorists un-American. I call YOU un-American.
"As of Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2007, at least 3,842 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 3,129 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers."
"Since the start of U.S. military operations in Iraq, 28,385 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department's weekly tally."
"The British military has reported 171 deaths; Italy, 33; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 21; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Denmark, seven; El Salvador, five; Slovakia, four; Latvia, three; Estonia, Netherlands, Thailand, Romania, two each; and Australia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, South Korea, one death each."
All of these men and women have paid the ultimate price, so that people may believe what they want to believe, and say what they want to say.

What, and who, would be next? Would anyone who questions any actions of any president be considered an enemy of the state? Why is questioning the official account of 9/11 considered treason in your mind? I don't agree with the conspiracy theorists but throwing them in jail because you don't like what they say makes us no different than Nazi Germany or the old Soviet Union. It would make us weaker, not stronger because we would be turning our backs on our shared American values.

No, people have the right to free speech; even if that speech is totally idiotic like that of the 9/11 conspiracy nuts.

Last time I checked America was a democracy and not a Fascist State. And Freedom of Speech was still allowed.
But maybe we should open a re-education camp for people who post dumb questions on Y/A :-P

Or we could just let them provide the entertainment value they already are and laugh at them like every other conspiracy theorist group.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh lord... it never amazes me at the sheer stupidity of humanity. No... we should not. They have a right to spew as much crap as you or anyone else. And whether or not those theories are true... I'm afraid a vast majority will never know.
