Conspiracy Query: Your thoughts on Pink's "Mr. President"; the movie "Loose Change," etc.

Dear friends:
I'm interested in the viral marketing of pop-opposition to the Iraq War and the Bush administration. You may recall Eminem's very successful get-out-the-vote (against Bush) diatribe in 2004: "Mosh." Now we have Pink weighing in with "Dear Mr. President" (which should load and play very quickly from this link).
At the same time, it seems a low-budget picture called "Loose Change" is pushing the conspiracy theory (first widely promoted by a best-seller in France) that the United States government, or people in it, actually launched the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon.

I'd welcome any further examples, and your thoughts on this phenomenon generally.
Best regards, Chris
