Or the planes with the 'right' Asian guys would have been used. Would the government been able to fake enough evidence to get people to trust them? That is my concern. The government just hasn't proven their case enough yet, and I'm not sure they can. The media didn't do their job of questioning and investigating however.

We have at least a few known Islamic extremists on camera in the airports that morning, and the MO of suicide attacks is consistent with al Qaeda and affiliated groups. North Korea, for example, has a history of shooting first and shouting like a bratty kid later. I agree that things like finding Atta's passport are very unlikely, but I'm more accepting of a coincidence like that than something that requires me to contradict what logic and my eyes tell me happened.
