Not as hard to pull off as you might think. For one thing, most in the intelligence community work on a compartmentalized "need to know" basis. So a very small clique in the highest echelons of the intelligence community (CIA, NSA, etc.) could direct underlings to do things to carry out the 9/11 attacks and those underlings would have no idea that they were part of the conspiracy.
Here's how it could actually work:
Intelligence operative in March 2001, go deliver this to a warehouse in lower Manhattan. Another operative in May 2001, hire a contractor to install "listening devices" in WTC offices, you will find them at this warehouse. Operative 3 June 2001, test newly installed "listening devices" in WTC to ensure they are working. By the time they're done, they have installed the explosives and know they are responding, yet none of the operatives are aware of what they have actually done. Believe it or not, this is how intelligence work is actually carried out, in order to protect sources and make sure any one person working for intelligence does not know too much and can not spill the beans if questioned. These people are dedicated, even if they suspected something was amiss, which most would not as they work this way all of the time, these highly patriotic persons will not say anything to the press at risk of hurting their country, and even at risk of losing their jobs and lives.
It is exactly this sort of environment that could allow for something like 9/11 to be pulled off from those very high up looking to manipulate the political process and public opinion for an agenda (like oil or military spending). It is not nearly as far fetched as people might imagine. A few high ups could coordinate it all without any detection and just let the whole thing unfold when the time comes to put the plan into action.
Don't forget also that a complex like the WTC is so large that they constantly have contractors coming in and out at all times of day to do various jobs. CIA/NSA ops slipping in to perform a little dirty work would be no problem at all in such an environment. Easy as cake compared to some of the stuff they pull of in other security state countries with massive intelligence agencies and total different languages and customs. |
