No! >>From the 911 Commission report: "To date, the U.S. government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. Ultimately the question is of little practical significance." I would argue that it is of enormous significance. It is well known that the mujahideen were created and trained in Afghanistan by the CIA to fight the Soviets, and that Osama Bin Laden is a CIA asset. Al Qaeda is often funded through the Pakistani ISI. Mahmoud Ahmad, head of the ISI, wired $100k to the supposed lead hijacker, Mohammed Atta, the month before 911. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/FD08Aa01.html http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0208/S00045.htm http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO111A.html > Making a monumental cock up somewhere and spinning it to their 'advantage': > Yes. > Organising something as complicated as 11/9?

Look at the declassified NSC documents produced during the cold war. They read like the fantasies of a bunch of raving nutters indulging in ludicrous fairy tales, where the Soviet Union represents all that's evil and America is the only shining light of goodness, but they are consistent in doctrine and competent in material strategy. Understanding that military planners now consider 90% of their operational considerations to be intelligence-based, seizing the mind of the enemy, and that it seems they're directing their attention to us with the (often unknowing?) complicity of the mass media, little wonder most people don't have the facts straight.
