Reason:

After careful consideration, I have decided to award the "better argument" vote to Con. While Pro presented a very interesting take on the events leading to 9/11, they did not present an argument that effectively demonstrated that the responsibility for 9/11 rested on the US's shoulders. Con, on the other hand, presented very effective counter-rebuttals to what could otherwise be considered a conspiracy theory. However, I will be awarding the "conduct and better sources" title to Pro due to the fact that Con not only used ad hominem attacks against Pro, but also forfeited the last round. I also commend Pro for making the effort to actually include sources, even if they ultimately did not sway the argument. Additionally, I will be awarding the "legibility" vote to Con as well, since Pro's formatting was very incoherent and admittedly hard to read.
