Actually, the short sellers help the market--they have to cover at some point and that allows stocks to rebound or find a level fair value. In some ways the short sellers let us down by allowing enron to do what it did without shorting massively. Of course, in penny stocks I have suffered at the hands of shortsellers on occasion but mainly because I didn't do my DD properly. If it could be proved that someone was tipped about the attack and profited, I think we'd know about it by now. Some say the computers destroyed in the towers had the trades on them without backup.
