They supposedly didn't declare war because the insurance companies would have invoked the 'act of war' clause and refused to pay for all the New York and Washington claims.

That's simply untrue, name one insurance company that stated anything but they would honor all claims regardless of a declaration or war or not.

Why spread falsehoods ?

There are two legitimate reasons, namely:

1. A declaration of war would have taken time which Bush decided he didn't want to deal with. In hindsight, he made the right decision.

2. Since the U.S. does not recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government and since Al Qiada is not a government, it is difficult to declare war against a government you state doesn't exist.
