It happened.

The fact that al Qaeda attacked the WTC and the Pentagon is evidence that they were allowed to? By what logic?

That's one theory, though I'd like to see your evidence.

That's a time-tested (however ineffective and adolescent) method of argumentative deflection, but currently we're talking about evidence supporting your theory here.

And, on that note, I still haven't seen any evidence other than something about Israeli kids videotaping and laughing. Do you, personally, find that conclusive, or merely provocative?

Another theory is that the spies tracked Al Qaeda (fact)...

You're saying that's a theory, and then labeling it a fact. Which is it?

And what information are you in possession of substantiating that Israeli "spies" were "track[ing] [a]l Qaeda"?

...knew of the plan (theory), but failed to warn officials (theory)...

OK, that's speculative, fine.

...because they perceived the result would be in their national interest (fact). That would explain why they were celebrating the attack (fact).

Yes, that would explain why Israeli kids were laughing and apparently celebrating an attack against a civilian target that had previously been targeted by Muslim fundamentalists.

Having said that, what noteworthy circumstance remains to make one believe that they were spies?

Is it that they were...there? Among tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of other people watching the horror from Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and among those of us in Manhattan?

Is it because...they had a movie camera?
