i don't know about others, but as a relative newcomer to the CT debates i came across numerous of puzzling terms and acronyms. eg, NWO, PNAC, shill etc etc there are many others i can't remember. if other people are like me they would be a little reluctant to enquire as to meanings of unknown terms. for fear of being seen as lame or a dull noob.
is there a glossary here of these terms? if not why dont we compile one? i would happily help.
it would be a community-wide effort. how about people send in to this thread a CT related term, acronym, prominent person name or any item that might be included in a such a glossary? along, of course, with a lucid explanation of the item.
i would gladly compile it and perhaps it could be stickied for jref noobs like me?

bonavada, there's an acronym thread here: http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=67141
NWO is New World Order, and PNAC is the neocon Project for the New American Century. Wikipedia will give you details. Also, simply Googling an acronym will usually quickly turn up details.

TVM for the link.
a comprehensive CT glossary readily available here at jref would be handy though, would save googling and wiki-wading huh?
i've a bit of time on my hands this week i might have a go at compiling one, post it up and see what people think.

Some of us have been compiling a 9/11 FAQ. One of the articles I'd like to see there is one on acronyms, abbreviations, and other terminology.
See "Appendix 5, Part2d" at http://www.debunk911myths.org/topics/index.php?title=Conspiracy_claims_-_Appendix_5
I have access and would be happy to add your work, if you are interested in writing something up. We keep a public sandbox open elsewhere, and I have created a page for you to work on (if you are interested) at http://editthis.info/911answers/Special_Terminology .
Please use the format provided, and please cite your sources.
Thanks! Send me a private message through this forum when you have an article ready.

I have gone ahead and compiled a glossary for the new wiki.

Does anyone have any other terms that should be added?
