I don't think it was an inside job, but I do think that some people in government either knew or highly suspected, and that some either wanted it to happen or were hedging their finances or political clout if it did. I sort of see it in the same light as the attack on Pearl Harbor or the sinking of the Maine or the Gulf of Tonkin incident. There are too many coincidence to believe that it happened without or knowledge. Could the CIA and FBI have been so far asleep at the wheel? Were some people just, out of laziness, ignoring the developments prior to it? Did we have some double agents scrambling the information? Did the Administration send messages down the line that led the staff of the different agencies ignore the hints? Did Dick Cheney secretly wish for a successful attack so that we could make war later? And thus interfered to prevent the command structure from working properly? I certainly believe that all the police, military and espionage authorities are, for the most part, inept and lazy. It wouldn't be hard for a person here and there to implement a plan that would make the protective systems not function properly. The only thing I don't believe is the existence of a group of people within the government conspiring to help Al Qaeda carry out this attack. This would take too many persons. I don't believe that such a project could be properly planned and kept secret. There is just too many opportunities for it to be discovered. I do believe that some people in the espionage community are trying to cover their tracks on the whole affair; not because they worked for the Arab contingent but because they are trying to cover up their own incompetence and negligence, which may have allowed one of two persons to actually assist the Arabs. There was, indeed, some kind of breakdown in the security community, and I think this breakdown at many different levels. Someday, we might find out details, but I doubt it.
