No argument there. The people did it to harm the US in a bad way. The question is WHY?
A central question... with no sufficient answer.
Why would al-Qaida attack America? What purpose does it serve? al-Qaida is America's best friend. Attacks against America give the Americans the excuse to invade and occupy Middle East countries. This serves al-Qaida's interest?
Canadian writer Gwynne Dyer: "He [George Bush] thinks that the terrorists are trying to make Americans unhappy in order to 'induce them to accept terrorist demands?' What demands could the Islamist terrorists of al-Qaida possibly make that the United States could conceivably grant?
Fly them all to Havana? Convert to Islam? Put the money in unmarked notes in a brown paper bag and leave it behind the radiator? The whole notion that this is some sort of giant extortion operation is as naive (or as wilfully ignorant) as the Bush administration's pet explanation that the terrorists attack the U.S. because 'they hate our freedoms.' Unfortunately, the post-9-11 intellectual climate in the United States has prevented any serious discussion of the terrorists' goals and their strategies for achieving them.
The Islamist radicals have always been completely open about their goals. They want to take power in the Muslim countries (phase one of the project), and then unite the entire Muslim world in a final struggle to overthrow the power of the West (phase two). They are still stuck in phase one, with little to show for it despite 30 years of trying, so in the early 1990s Osama bin Laden and his colleagues switched from head-on assaults on the regimes in Muslim countries to direct attacks on Western targets. Yet their first-phase goal remains seizing power in the Muslim world, not some fantasy about "bringing the West to its knees."
British and American foreign policy is based on a series of highly improbable theories, the biggest of which is that an evil Saudi millionaire genius in a cave in the Hindu Kush controls a secret worldwide network of ‘tens of thousands of terrorists’ ‘in more than 60 countries’ (George Bush).
News reports frequently tell us that terrorist organisations, such as those which have attacked Bali or Istanbul, have ‘links’ to al-Qa’eda, but we never learn quite what those ‘links’ are. According to two terrorism experts in California, Adam Dolnik and Kimberly McCloud, this is because they do not exist.
The al-Qaida myth...
"There are always has been and will be 2-bit terrorists. Right now all disgruntled and disillusioned individuals, all small-time 'terrorists' use the Al-qaeda moniker to exaggerate their threat -- they claim to be 'Al-qaeda.'
The US desperately, NEEDS Al-qaeda and promotes them whenever possible. Al-qaeda is the U.S. and international "bogeyman" able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Sleeper cells and a network of thousands? No.
An asset to the U.S.? Yes. Just cry the name Al-qaeda or bin-Laden and this is their justification for all domestic policy restricting civil rights and for aggressive foreign actions. The ignorant public then rallies around the administration."
9/11 was an inside job. Don't we all accepct that? If not. Why not?
The Incompetence Theory: The most extensive incompetence theory in history implies that incredible incompetence was manifested by FBI agents, FAA flight controllers, NMCC officials, NORAD officials, and jet fighter pilots, among others.
Momentarily they all became incredibly incompetent. A coincident? With available evidence, the coincident theory requires even greater credulity.
A Freudian Slip of the Tongue: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in the Pentagon on October 12, 2001, in which he, in speaking of the various kinds of weapons used by the terrorists, referred to "the missile [used] to damage this building."
David Ray Griffin -- The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11
This book analyzes various theories... from Let it Happen to Make it Happen... looking at the evidence Make it Happen is clearly the conclusion.
"Part of the impulse to deny is a desparate wish to avoid coming face-to-face with the gruesome realites that are embedded in the power structure of government that controls our lives. Griffin's book is a much-needed anti-dote for the collective denial that has paralyzed the conscience and consciousness of the the nation... After all there has been a long history of manipulated public beliefs, especially in matters of war and peace."
When Rather asked, if he (Bearden) thought bin Laden was responsible for 9/11, Bearden downright snubbed the possibility. Bearden explained "a far more sophisticated intelligence operation had to be behind these precise coordinated attacks... if they didn't have a bin Laden they would have invented one."
Friendly-fire and False-flag terrorism share the same objectives: governments orchestrate terrorist attacks to be carried out on their own soil in order to strike fear in the population and to create a "public enemy".
German Minister of Technology (which included supervision of German intelligence - the BND), Andreas von Bülow:
"This tactic is called a “false flag operation” or a “false flag recruitment”, used by both the CIA and Mossad for purposes of propaganda. “Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the world is deception and disinformation,” von Bülow said, which is widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events.
“Journalists don’t even raise the simplest questions,” he said, adding, “those who differ are labeled as crazy.” "
The 9/11 participants were mules in a sophisticated intelligence operation.

Truth, Lies, and The Legend of 9/11
What follows is a reconstruction of one of the most extensive disinformation campaigns in history, and the chronicle of a legend that may now shine a devastating spotlight on some of the cliques behind 9/11.
Chaim Kupferberg
October 21, 2003 - Many of the more popular theories concerning September 11 rest on a selective reading of the facts. In other words, they focus on certain elements of the story - failing, in the end, to account for a wide-ranging number of facts and anomalies that cannot be adequately accounted for by such theories.
As one prime example, the complacency theory for 9/11 only works so long as one studiously and consistently ignores the compelling circumstantial evidence for all the various well-timed coincidences that stubbornly recur in practically every rudimentary recitation of the facts.
Whether the 9/11 disinformation campaign has been conducted for the purposes of a truly new world order, or simply for oil, geopolitical stability, monopolization of utilities, water, food, or population control by way of viral threats - any one specific agenda at this time cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (in the fullest legal sense). Perhaps an intended new order encompasses all of the above, involving an intersection of a number of common interests.
What I am suggesting, then, is the existence of a covert global political network operating through an increasingly sophisticated corporate and media infrastructure. Carl Bernstein (of Watergate fame), estimated that there were as many as 500 journalists in the United States on the C.I.A. payroll. Moreover, former C.I.A. Director William Colby had gone on record as revealing, "The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any major significance in the major media."
But my main point is that, like the Official 9/11 Legend, these counter-legends exist - and indeed were built in - so as to furnish a number of false leads, thereby obscuring the most essential fact that a long-standing covert infrastructure has stage-managed both the crimes and the cover-ups, while parceling out the information to various witting - and unwitting - operatives. It is the classic case of not seeing the forest for the trees.
Likewise, we can not be sure as to which political players are kept in line through financial or sexual bribery, and which of those have come on board for purely ideological reasons.
As I stated before, one way to pull off a tightly compartmentalized conspiracy is to ensure that all key parties are potentially open to blackmail, thereby ensuring that no one individual player may grab the upper hand by unilaterally incriminating the others.
We need to counter the psychological herd mentality which compels the masses among these groups to follow the designs of those higher up in authority. There are, at present, likely thousands of decent law-abiding Americans who have witnessed many aspects of the anomalies described herein, yet they have been intimidated or discouraged from revealing what they know. Without a powerful countervailing elite group to harvest their testimonies and "mainstream" the incriminating evidence, they are left with no recourse but to remain silent.
