It's strange that almost immediately after 9/11 -- and I mean within a day or so -- I just had this gut feeling or premonition that the attacks weren't as transparent as they at first appeared. With the advent of the Iraq invasion, I became more distrustful. I know this isn't really scientific, and I haven't read much about it, but I just find it very odd that the alleged highjackers were mostly Saudi (our "allies"), that * managed to twist it around to justify his invasion of Iraq, that he resisted the 9/11 commission tooth and nail, Osama has apparently been let off the hook, our basic rights are being diluted to the benefit of *'s objectives, that he uses terror to keep everybody in line. It's just all too convenient, and I don't trust the official story, even the story of the commission, one bit. I don't know if I would go so far as to say it was a set-up (although it may have been), but I definitely think it's been proved that the administration turned a blind eye to all the pre-9/11 evidence that something was in the works. And I don't think there can be any doubt that the attack has worked to *'s advantage.
