This is a trap just like JFK bullet trajectory minutae is a trap. CIA malfeasance is totally believable but the end results were: shooting a guy in the head and hitting buildings with planes.

yeah like we dropped a nuke on like 200k japanese civilians and came up with excuses after the fact, we dont really need a reason to do mass murder, we just do it

I feel like there's space to debate whether profit is a prerequisite for mass murder and cruelty

None of the countries the hijackers came from were invaded by the US. If anything, those countries are US allies. If the whole thing was completely made up by the US, wouldn't the US have fake Iranian/Afghani/Iraqi/Syrian/Libyan/Yemeni IDs instead of fake Saudi/UAE/Egyptian IDs?

i could see it being a cia fuckup of some kind, training terrorists and then shocked-pikachu when they use their training to blow up your shit. but yeah, if it were a fake, why wouldnt they just cover up who these guys are?
