Couple of things from me as I mull things around. Some support the standard story, some don't. First the 'pro':

Means/methods/motive: while means and methods can't be too up in air (if 20 terrorists could get this done, surely a group of 'secret terrorists' within our govornment COULD do it). But my problem lies within the motive area. How many people would it take to wire buildings for demolition, organize, grab video cameras and everything else a coverup would take? Surely more than 20. Is it 30? 50? Assuming 50, how do you get 50 people motivated to do that? How do you get 50 people to hold silence for 5 years? No guilt, no tell all from a single person?

I think that someone's preference is to start at the other end of the investigation (willravel?). If we could disprove the physical evidence of consipiracy, then there would be no need to question motive - the whole thing would just blow away. While I respect that direction, there is no reason not to look at it from the other direction, too.

What's the motivation that works for 30 or 50 or 70 people? Clearly there are those that have benefitted from war/terror. But does that motivate the people who would need to get the work done?

On the other side, the fishiest thing about 9-11 is the death count. If you're big bad terrorists bent on striking a blow against America, why grab planes at 7am? Why not 10am? If the planes had hit the building between 10am and noon, wouldn't the death count have reached 20k+. Maybe 50k? (depending upon how many evacuated before they fell). Why did the plane hit the empty part of the Pentagon? Terrorists are smart enough to plan it, and fly it, but didn't know the latest info on the P-gon?

Perhaps they revere the lives of minor military functionaries?

From the conspiracy side, there's the obvious: we want to cause a crisis but don't want to kill anymore americans than we have to...

But there is also the less obvious: if someone set charges, the more people who leave the building that see unusual things hurts the story. Do they want 10k people leaving the buildings seeing/hearing things that aren't kosher?

I sure don't know the truth, but am inclined to believe that any time something huge happens there's different ways to spin the details such that it looks fishy. Having said that, I do think there are a number of truly bizarre questions that should be answered. I don't see the harm of checking/asking, and I really don't see why it bothers people...

Keep on asking, Will!
