This whole thread is amusing to say the least. The only truth is that you cannot argue with conspiracy theorists. I know. I argued with my grandmother for many, many years about the JFK assasination. She was a ravenous reader of every book that came out about the assasination. I would point out that the “sources” are never named if the claim is they are alive, or if dead the source said it to someone else, or rarely to the author, or so the claim went. None of which can be proven true, and worse proven false. Despite this bit of information she still clung to the conspiracy to the grave.
No matter how many credible experts, who give the facts openly, state the reality of what happened and have all the models to show that indeed the planes caused the collapse and it was planned by and carried out by AQ, it will never placate the “Truthers.” Even those who “support” the truthers claims only offer their opinion and “gut-feelings.” That is not evidence. I could spend the rest of my life debunking each and every conspiracy theory about 9/11, but there are more important issues to deal with than engaging in a never ending circular argument.
The failure of our intelligence community is an old one. The bureaucratic in-fighting is as old as dirt. Even if the agencies had been able to share information there is no guarantee that 9/11 would have been discovered. If you don’t have all the pieces to the puzzle and are able to discern that the pieces belong to the same puzzle, you are not going to have the answer. The incompetence is about inter-agency cooperation, not whether we would have known about 9/11. Fact, the enemy is capable of being effective, and no agency, not the CIA, MI5, KGB/FGB, Mossad, FBI, NSA, etc. can be right every time all the time. Our agencies were still suffering from Clinton’s policy, just as our armed forces are suffering now from the “Peace Dividend.” The one thing we as citizens have to do is to make sure we elect leaders who understand the threat before us and implement policies that enable us to engage these threats.
