Anger, conspiracy and 9/11 truth

"A recent Scripps Howard survey reports that one in three Americans believe or suspect their democratically elected government is guilty of the worst crime in American history – of participating in the wanton murder of thousands of its own citizens and the destruction of the national economy in order to advance some nefarious, secret agenda."

This well-considered article casts doubt on the 9/1 Truth movement. My own view is that it is unlikely that the Bush administration had anything to do with 9/11 but that there are unanswered questions. I allow for the possibility that some powerful group associated with Bush or his administration, had inside knowledge.

All my life I scoffed at any suggestion that JFK was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald alone. Until I read Not in Your Lifetime: The Kennedy Conspiracy? (also released under the title Conspiracy) by Anthony Summers. It's the book that finally and utterly persuaded me Oswald was a patsy and that the CIA was deeply involved in the assassination. And when I learned of Operation Northwoods, I realised that the US military was capable of almost anything. At this stage, I think it would be just as naive to say that a 9/11 conspiracy in USA elites is impossible as to say it is definite.

See also 9/11: Truth, lies and conspiracy for the other side, and this article which has different perspectives (from a socialist website).
