Hi Tippet,

Re: I've looked at some of this conspiracy stuff -- the idea seems inconceivable to me,

Actually, the Department of Defense wrote a plan in 1961 called Operation Northwoods that described in great detail how to motivate the American public to accept an invigoration of the military aggression of the DoD by using subterfuge to fool the populace. Here's my dossier on this remarkable document:

Message 17525586

All of the psychological effects on the American public from the tragedy of 9/11 were anticipated in Operation Northwoods.

Remember, one man's conspiracy theory may well be another man's business plan. :)

Re: How could one conclude otherwise (unless one believes conspiracy), but look at the result -- nobody big even lost their jobs.

To the contrary, inside the FBI, the supervisor who actively suppressed the field office level investigations in the summer of 2001 by Agent Colleen Rowley in Minneapolis and Agent Wright in Phoenix was a man by the name of David Frasca. He declined requests for FISA subpoenas by agents and demanded the agents look away from investigating foreign nationals at flight schools.

What happened to Frasca? He was rewarded with a promotion and a raise for a job well done.

Curious. Isn't it.
