Personally, I can't dismiss every aspect of the conspiracy theorist claims. Having read the northwood documents and considered the surrounding analysis of CIA Al Qaeda links, I take seriously the possibility that the Bush administration is at best incompetent, possibly complicit and maybe even the driving force behind the September 11th attacks.
It's a cautiously couched conspiracy theory of sorts. Since nobody has even conclusively proved that Hitler was responsible for the analogous events of the Reichstag fire I doubt that the truth will ever be known. However those who would make similar accusations to these, will inevitably be drowned out by idiots "agreeing with them" in the most idiotic fashion that besmirches the whole question.
Yes it's quite possible that Neocon's staged the whole thing. The theory is credible if disturbing. If so I can see no good reason for them to break away from established patterns. All they had to do was simply fund/inspire and turn a blind eye to a terrorist operation that simply involved a basic hijacking and suicide attack. Why assume anything more. Why try to prove anything if the evidence is not conclusive.
As I understand it the evidence for the turning a blind eye is circumstantial but solid. It's not much discussed because most of the people presenting the ideas are easily discredited by association with crackpot theories such as controlled demolition, missiles, no planes, Illuminati, NWO blah blah blah.
At the very least intelligence officials should be taken to task for allowing their observations of Islamic groups to lapse to such an extent. As I understand it only 3 Arabic speaking CIA analysts were employed on the Middle East section. If I were an American I be baying for CIA blood. They were clearly caught napping. I also understand that the orders to reduce funding in this area came straight from the top. Clear evidence of incompetence to lead your brave nation. Many decisions since then are so clearly illogical that the mind boggles and strains to find some hidden motive that makes this clearer. As such, a long term strategy to manufacture a post cold war enemy in the middle east to justify military spending or secure control of oil fields during the impending peak oil crisis, seems to fit the bill.
There even appears to be documents and witness testimony to suggest that if events were not planned to these ends they were misappropriated to support that purpose. CIA documents that clearly contradict the clear message coming from the Oval office that Iraq posed a WMD threat or that Iraq gave safe haven to terrorists.
However if all that can be proved is incompetence rather than war crimes then that should be enough to remove this dangerous hand from the trigger of the most dangerous weapon known to history: the USA military.
If there is a conspiracy then people like truth seeker are complicit in conflating something very simple into a bizarre and unbelievable theory. It is their easily discredited woo that would most likely be traced back to disinfo agents working for the conspiracy. If Truth Seeker is truly convinced of the existence of a conspiracy my recommendation is for him to narrow his focus to the core of evidence that show the administration to have behaved irrationally around these events rather than to risk becoming a pawn to the conspiracy.
