We people from the west, in particular Europe and USA, are very fond of our right to freedom of speech. And we don't hesitate to use this excuse when accused of being racist...
But freedom of speech is not for everyone and it's definitely not for all topics, either.

Marion Cotillard received an oscar about a week ago for her role in La vie en Rose.
A year ago, before she was known in Hollywood, Cotillard said in an interview that she thought 9/11 was a conspiracy. She said that she thought World Trade Center was taken down because it would be cheaper to just do that, than to renovate it and bring it up to date.
She refers to a tower in Spain that was burning for 24 hours without collapsing, and other towers hit by planes that never collapsed, and yet the twin towers collapsed; in her words: "within minutes"

She regrets saying this now. Back then nothing much was thought of it, but now that's she's more known, it has stirred a commotion in USA.
Why does she not have the right to freedom of speech?
I have to say I find it rather childish for people to react this way a year after it's been said. We're in 2008 folks, 9/11 was in 2001, and she said it a year ago!!

If this stirs a commotion, I'm sorry, but then I really think some people need to get a hobby.
We all know that she is not the only one with this opinion. The conspiracy theories are many, and people have a RIGHT to believe in what they want...

I'm not trying to diminish the tragedy of 9/11, yes it was terrible and no it won't be forgotten, and Cotillard didn't try to diminish it either.
What I am saying is, find something else to spend your energy on, than on what someone SAYS.
