janimal:
The CIA is currently in the process of being made irrelevant in a political purge that is part of an internal conflict between Rumsfeld's defence department and all the other intelligence agencies, which it wants to bring under its umbrella.
If it was anyone in the US government that did it, it was more likely the Pentagon, not the CIA.
Spooky: I saw the film you refer to, and it looks like fairly standard CCTV footage, which doesn't film continuously but rather takes still images in sequenced intervals. If you ever see CCTV footage of robberies, etc. on the television news, it looks very much like that.
Personally, I am convinced the 9/11 attacks were a provocation aimed at getting the US stuck in quagmires in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, in a bid to diminish US power. I think it was a very similar strategy to the one Reagan used against the Soviet Union.
It's possible that this was the act of a handful of fanatics (ie Al-Qaeda) but I think the strategy behind it is just too brilliant, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were a greater power and some intelligence services behind it. Not the US ones, but rather, perhaps China, Russia, ...? A genuine rival power would certainly benefit from having the US distracted fighting against insignificant phantom enemies in the Mideast whilst they build their own power base. The possibilities are very interesting.

most certainly not. at least not until we know the truth. its doubtful that we'll ever get it, because people like galacticus will throw the 'conspiracy theories' out of the window every time. too many people are conditioned to think that any suggestion of our own leaders carrying out massive atrocities is plainly ridiculous, and therefore not worth considering.
i wasn't there, but given the choice of believing a bunch of politicians in siuts who have been proven to be liars many times over, or believing the firefighters who were on site, and the various experts who have no vested interest one way or another, then i know which way i'm more likely to swing. i mean - not even the present us government was duely elected, so how can you believe them?
the trouble is, we don't know who the enemy is. is it bin laden? don't think so. is it al quaeda? don't think they even exist. was it charles de menezes? no. was it the guy theat got shot by police in north london last week? no, not him either. is it the people being held in guantanamo without due process? i doubt it. is it the american administration which together with the british has been bombing the xxxx out of the middle east for about 15 years now to get at their oil? quite possibly....
