The best take on conspiracy nutjobs I've seen is Jon Ronson's "Them: Adventures with Extremists" which came out of his BBC series, "The Secret Rulers of the World." He gives you a great, credulous, "what the hell are they thinking" perspective on any number of nutters while making them human and giving you an insight into the nugget of truth that drives them. I'll say this - I feel a whole lot more sympathetic towards both Randy Weaver and the Bilderberg Group.
