In reply to the discussion: 9/11 Conspiracy Solved - Names, Connections, & Details Exposed... [View all]BobbyBoring

If one looks at all the things 9/11 has enabled our "government" to do, it becomes pretty clear at least to some. Had PNAC not mentioned needing a "New Pearl Harbor" to advance their agenda of a new pax americana, I could have some doubt. 9/11 paved the way for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that had been on the drawing board for quite some time. It paved the way for the Patriot Act, the suspension of habeas corpus. posse commitus, etc.

Oh yes, Skilling is going to admit in 1993 that he lied about the buildings when getting the plans

He would know from his access to experts that fires can't produce those temperatures
