The conspiracy theory is, as far as I can tell, that some very powerful folks wanted to scare Americans. They got wind of the AQ plot. They thought that flying planes into the WTC, which would then just burn for a while and probably have to be torn down, wasn't bad enough to institute the Patriot act, or maybe an industrial strength Patriot act. Thus, they placed bombs to go off after the planes hit. In short, while AQ did fly planes in the buildings, the real enemy is a shadowy powerful conservative group....with ties into the CIA, the White House, etc. Your point is _very_ consistent with my views....the above is my take on the internet conspiracy theories we see posted here. Two things - 1) the current administration does not seem capable of such success 2) No matter what I think of the people running our country I do not believe they would commit mass murder. I do not believe if they tried that someone would not have ratted them out and either stopped this before it happened or quickly uncovered the conspiracy afterwards. Some might argue that this administration has already killed thousands of US citizens with their ill conceived war but that is different. Humans engage in all sorts of mental tricks to justify war. We all accept some of these rationalizations in some circumstances (humans have been killing other humans for a long time - from before we were humans). But by and large we do not accept killing members of our own tribe. One can rationalize sending men into war but not killing one's own kind. I think that are too many moral individuals in this government (or any other US government) to allow this to occur _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
