Hundreds and thousands of people involved. Do you think that is how many it took for the terrorists as well?
Neo...if the goverment wanted to pull this off, they would hardly follow protocol and follow the chain of command to get it done.
Not even arguing the specifics of the theories - which by the way no one one this board is qualified to make judgments on - such as structural deficiencies, etc - the face argument of this is still absurd.
C mon ... let's use common sense. Of course our government wouldn't be following protocol! This is illegal, if it was in fact, done by the government. But think of how much work it takes for the government to make this happen and blame it on the terrorists. Think of all the intel people, counter-intelligence, security, people from air force, intelligence community in general, members of Congress/senate/executive branch whose authorities are necessray to give certain authorizations, engineers, propagenda people, cover-up people, not to mention the tons of people that would be involved in logistics at the air ports, pentagon, etc.
No single person in government can do this alone. If done, it will be a collective effort - even if illegal, it will require a small army of people. And the government being as interconnected as it is, do you serious think that no one involved in the conspiracy would've called their friend, family, or loved ones to give a heads up if they were in or near twin towers/pentagon? All the people that had to have been involved could've been kept quiet for this long?
Conspiracy theorists are like herpies - they keep spreading and you can only treat the symptoms, but never able to cure it. Every time you debunk a theory with a good old *** kicking and facts, they're all of a sudden not responsible for their assertions and go hide under rocks until they can come up with a new conspiracy.
