This is not a mystery.
Usama bin Laden has admitted, no bragged, on several occasions, that he is responsible for 9-11.
The U.S. government, going back at least to 1993, failed to cap this guy, even after he publicly declared war on the United States. The U.S. government is incompetent--big fucking surprise--but there was no government conspiracy on 9-11. So incompetent is the U.S. government that there's not a single chance in hell that they could pull off something of this magnitude without the entire Western world reading about it in big fucking red blinking lights on Broadway.
Do we have all the information known by the government about 9-11? Probably not. Hell, the government doesn't even know what it knows and doesn't know.
I've lived long enough to see this whole sorry cycle repeat itself half a dozen times: first there's tragedy, then unity, then recrimination, and finally conspiracy theory centered around government duplicity. Going back to World War II-- the British left was sure the U.S. Army was amassing on their fair island to reinstate the monarchy. Meanwhile, the American right was saying FDR allowed the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
We swallow elephants whole, but choke on fern seeds.
