The US had just about every government agent on the payroll looking for anyone with foreknowledge of 9-11. For the life of me I can't recall any associated roundup of alleged conspirators, which would naturally include anyone who shorted the market that day. If there were any, it would mean Breen was totally delinquent in doing his job.

Also, while 9-11 turned out to be horrific, I doubt even Osama bin Laden considered the actual result to be a slam dunk. So much could have gone wrong. There's no guarantee any money invested would have ever cleared given the red flags that would have gone up. So while common sense would dictate others must have known about 9-11 that we don't know about, it's a leap to say they likely would have been right under our nose.

As for the rest of your points. Very well said and compelling.
