The point is that it's just what it appears to be. It's not some crazy gov't conspiracy, it's not some concocted demolition job by super secret insiders. I simply do not believe even with all it's power that the government can keep something that extreme and exacting a secret. Sure the government has classified materials, top secret stuff...but most of that isn't related to the death of americans and the destruction of a building that represents one of america's larger financial triumphs. You're putting chips on it that the government can possibly find enough like minded individuals to plant explosives, hijack planes (or military fly missiles/drones) into the buildings and then blame it on some islamic guys who were taking flying lessons, who thus also must have been government agents since they were seen doing so by many civilian witnesses. The idea you put forward would require much more exacting precision and secrecy than is possible. Simple as that, Occam's Razor 1, you 0. It would require multiple branches to plan, military (who most of which are very very patriotic and would not see this as a very patriotic thing to do) , some arab guys who don't mind dying (and why would they for our country?) some guys to plant explosives who don't mind killing fellow americans, tons of people to plan it all out, and the ability to keep every last one of those mouths shut without even a .001% chance of them talking since that'd be the biggest blow to our nation's government ever seen... you'd have military unrest, the likelihood of civil conflict within our own borders, the military being made up of mostly red blooded american's who wish nothing more than to defend this country, not harm it, would turn against the government that did this to itself. The outcome were the reality of such a case were to surface would be so intense that we'd likely have serious problems here for decades to come, and I'm talking coups, civil attacks on government property, and other such ordeals. No I don't think the weight of that risk versus the reward from this are even something to consider it's outright insane as are you. This whole conspiracy debate that's been raging for ages about owl headed statues on some island in a lake, to chemtrails, to the WTC being destroyed by our very own people , it's all ludicrous, so many conspiracies, so much "evidence" by the purporters, yet absolutely no conclusive evidence beyond anecdotal observance of blurry tapes and assumptions based on nothing more than dissent. I don't like our government much in it's current state, I don't trust them a whole lot either, but I don't think they're so bold nor crazy to do something of this caliber. It was the act of some crazy jihadis, bin laden loves touting how he did it. Is he in on the game with the us government too? Mind you, we didn't need this to invade iraq, that was easy enough to do with just the WMD scare tactics bush used, afghanistan netted nothing from our invasion but more cost and lives, there is no sense as to why the hell they'd even want to do it. But you'll keep on keeping on assuming that Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono are working with bush to create a new CD with subliminal messages to make you go outside and inhale deeply as the planes fly over seeding you with the genetic material from protozoan dust found on mars to imbue us with sicknesses so that we can be better controlled and have to rely on the government for medical assistance...but hey, whatever floats you boat.
