No doubt there are things we're not being told about 9/11.
But I've no reason to doubt the basics of the "official" version: Namely that a bunch of Arab terrorists hijacked 4 airliners, flew them into the WTC and the Pentagon, that the WTC towers collapsed as a direct result of all this and that a total of around 3000 innocent people died.
Call me naive, but we saw it happen live on TV for God's sake!!!
All these daft conspiracy theories about the airliners being unmanned drones and that the passengers had been secretly removed by the CIA beforehand (presumably, the CIA would then have had to kill them anyway to prevent any possibility of the truth getting out - so why bother?!), that Mossad did it, that Bush & his cronies organised the whole thing, that the mobile phone calls from passengers and flight attendants on the doomed planes were all faked, that explosive charges had been pre-planted in the WTC blah blah blah blah ....... All complete bollocks IMHO.
And as for the "no plane hit the Pentagon" conspiracy theory: Okay CCTV camera footage was withheld until just a couple of weeks ago, and even then it showed very little. But what about the hundreds of eyewitnesses on the ground who DID say they saw an airliner fly into the building? The conspiracy theorists always conveniently overlook them (or maybe they were all CIA "plants"??!).
Yes, the Bush / Cheney neocons no doubt then milked 9/11 for all it was worth as an excuse to push their own agendas - but that's probably as sinister as it gets.
But why let logic get in the way of a good conspiracy theory?!
