Who was REALLY behind 9/11?

Well, this is interesting. Take a look at these excerpts from an article entitled "Third of Americans suspect 9-11 government conspiracy":

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.

The national survey of 1,010 adults also found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, with 54 percent saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be.

Widespread resentment and alienation toward the national government appears to be fueling a growing acceptance of conspiracy theories about the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
...
Thirty-six percent of respondents overall said it is "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them "because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East."

"One out of three sounds high, but that may very well be right," said Lee Hamilton, former vice chairman of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also called the 9/11 commission.) His congressionally appointed investigation concluded that federal officials bungled their attempts to prevent, but did not participate in, the attacks by al Qaeda five years ago.

Of course, I have no faith in the 9/11 Commission at all since members of the administration (including President Bush) refused to testify under oath and since it is now clear that the Pentagon lied to the commission.

Having said that, I'm not going to express an opinion here about who was really behind 9/11. I just want to say that I don't think the official story is the whole story. And I think it's very interesting indeed that so many people think it was an inside job.
