I don't either.
I think that when the FBI director took a red-eye flight in the middle of the night to texas to meet bush on aug 5 of 2001 with an emergency file that is still classified, it was full of candy.
I think that when Germany and Israel notified us on Aug 6 2001 about an upcoming plane attack on NY, and gave us 5 of the hijackers names and location (as they had been following them in hollywood FL for a year), I think candy was in the ears and they didn't hear.
Seriously, there were 29 unique warnings, several of them quite specific, about the attacks. Five of the men were under direct surveilance which was oddly cancelled in mid-august. I dont claim to know what happened. All I know is that someone knew something. Lots of people got calls right before 911 telling them not to fly. People bought the airline stock on puts, and expected it to fall, which it immediately did. An Isr firm moved out th eweek before. Many employees of one Isr firm got text messages 2 hours before attack telling them to leave building.
I don't know who did what, nor am I accusing anyone of anything. But to me, a complete investigation is needed. You cannot just 'let' a 9/11 happen, can you?
Anyway, would it undermine the war on terror? I don't know. Maybe they'll have another investigation once we take iran and it doesn't matter anymore about undermining it. Kuscinish is opening a new investigation this fall. Who knows where it'll lead. THere were 4 investigations into pearl harbor, and that was simply to find out about the 24 hours of warnings we ignored. There's a lot more smoking guns on 911.
A public investigation would probably/could perhaps reveal apparent lazyness, failure in chain-of-communications, et al.
I think conspiracy theorists should consider the possibility that the government, the agencies did a bad job.
Western Intelligence Agencies are notorious for not being able to properly analyze radicals and extremist groups.
Eg, the political radical left in Sweden was for a long while classified by the Swedish Intelligence Agency as potential threats during the cold war. This was when Sweden were scared shitless by Soviet Union, these "potential threats" were considered supporters of Soviet Union.
These were students participating in peace rally's, anti-war gatherings, members of socialist and communist organisations.
Only one problem. There were never any support for Soviet Union among these organisations.
Reason I'm getting so detailed here, is because the Intelligence officers made a huge error by not analyzing these groups properly.
CIA, FBI, DEA, Verfassungsschutz, MI5, MI6, DGSE, DST...
They all make the same mistakes. Interpret what they don't understand incorrectly.
240 or Bust, don't assume that our intelligence agencies are spot on all the time. My guess, is that they're far from it.
This is where I think the 9/11 conspiracy theorists went terribly wrong. Instead of looking for everything, even the possibility of agencies having internal problems, that the competence may be lacking...
they instead went ahead and looked for a more sexy alternative, the government conspiracy.
They so desperately wanted excitement, so they refused to even consider low competence as an alternative.
I guess it is somehow better if the buildings were brought down by an advanced conspiracy, headed by top officials.
Rather than facing that there are problems in the intelligence agencies, and that a few terrorists from a land far away were able to fly it right into the center of NY.
Sometimes Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
