it would be impossible to keep the "secret" with the number of people that it would take to coordinate 9/11. Once again I don't think that the Bush team flew the airplanes in the building. They only needed to know that it is a dangerous world, and that if they left the back door open something would happen. There had been Al Qaeda attacks or attempts a couple times a year for several years. I personally think they expected a more traditional hijacking with demands for the release of Sheik Omar Abel-Rahman and several days worth of TV coverage before killing all the passengers (which would have then been spun as the Next Pearl Harbor). Instead they got 9/11. The number of people who have to be "in on it" is pretty much limited to Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Condaleeza Rice. Bush was clueless and told to think hard about stem cells, that kept his televised response more real, while Cheney and the other planners hid in the bunker. TP
