Hi! I decided to make this poll and leave room for replies to further debate the issue.
I'm doing this because this debate is off-topic for my "1984"-thread, where it originated.

The official 9/11 story is that Al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four airliners on 9/11 and managed to fly three of them into the WTC and the Pentagon.

Airforce fighters were unable to intercept any of the airliners, which were hijacked at intervals of half an hour in between. Both the CIA and FBI had received warnings prior to 9/11, knew that terrorist suspects were training at flight schools, were tracking several terrorists yet they failed to put the pieces together and thus prevent the attacks on 9/11.

The following (former) high ranking public officials do not believe the official story about "9/11."

Added a link to the radio clip with the MI-5 agent, David Shayler talking on a radioshow.

What do you mean, "official"? Which one is the official one? If you include that extra paragraph about the US failing to do its job, thne I guess I vote yes.


In case you are wondering I haven't voted yet.

[Microprose Veteran]

Huh? Not sure what you mean. Is it:

Both the CIA and FBI had received warnings prior to 9/11, knew that terrorist suspects were training at flight schools, were tracking several terrorists yet they failed to put the pieces together and thus prevent the attacks on 9/11.

?

So, both the CIA and FBI (and NORAD) failed in their duties. Meaning (according to the US government) that they just need "more money." Nobody in the Bush administration was fired over "9/11" btw.

Well, I totally agree with the entire first post. What do I vote?

Yeah, I often wondered how the best Intelligence agency in the world could screw something like that up. That and the second Iraq War; all who were responsible for the misinformation America used to justify itself for war were promoted or decorated.

Edit: Come to think of it, Doonesbury ran a comic strip about the Iraq War accountability. A senator was questioning the head of the CIA about why all this was allowed to go on and why it was a career boost for those involved. The strip ended with the CIA person saying "good luck on your campaign, senator" as the senator asked his suddenly silent colleagues for their support.

About that radio show, That interviewer on that show really pi$$ed me off. Instead of letting his guest answer questions, he kept opening his big trap and putting words in his mouth. That mi5 agent probably wanted to gut that bastrd.

I voted "no", simply because I don't believe in LARGE parts of the story. Most of it is much to "simple".
I won't go into deeper detail here, though, since the other discussion perfectly showed that it is in vain anyway.
