uhh, except that we do know, Sspad. See the 9/11 and "Pentagon" threads if you need references.
We know who the hijackers were, what ties they had, and that their efforts were coordinated. we know that efforts by like-minded individuals have been carried out in Turkey, England, Spain, and all over.
So yeah, we have a prettygood idea, and the burden rests on those of you convinced that it's such an open case. it isn't.

I'm sure at least some of you have heard of Project Northwoods. For those of you who haven't, it was a plan put together by the Pentagon back in the early 60s. The idea was to engineer "terrorist" attacks- completely inside jobs, perpetrated against Americans by their own government- to garner support for an invasion of Cuba.

And the guy who proposed that plan, General Lemnitzer, was removed from the Joint Chiefs by kennedy shortly after this plan was proposed.
Also, that proposal went as far as to say they could sink ships and blow up empty drone planes, even hold mock funerals for the "victims". You can read the entire memo
here.
So, even duringthe height of the Cold War, these Cold Warriors hesitated to take one American life in this screwy plan.
Roughly 3,000 Americans died on 9/11. What you and Geggy are leaving open as a possibility goes far beyond this project, and requires a hell of a lot more substantiation on your parts.
