My own take on the 9/11 story is that the Bush Administration knew something was up long before it happened but thought it would be a simple hostage-taking aircraft hijacking, which could be used to pull public support for doing "something" about the Middle East, i.e., Iraq. The fact that it blew up in their faces explains quite a bit about the unconvincing bluster we got from Rice and Cheney and Bush after the fact. Note that this theory doesn't require a huge international conspiracy, just venal and short-sighted behavior from a group of people we now know to be nothing but venal and short-sighted. It also satisfies the adage, "Never attribute to malice what can best be explained by incompetence." -- theorellior
