Conspiracy theorists fail to grasp that just because someone benefits from an event, it doesn't mean they perpetrated that event.
It's fine to say the Bush administration benefited from 9/11. It was a thought that occurred to me the day of the attacks even. However, looking over the evidence it's obvious that the Bush administration did not plan 9/11 and the standard story of events, save smaller details, are correct.
Obviously there were smaller cover-ups and distortions of the events of 9/11 by the Bush administration, and others in government. The 9/11 commission which wasn't thorough at all. The idea that United 93 was taken over by the passengers who then crash landed it and killed themselves seems fanciful and convenient. But that's not indicative of them planning 9/11. It's more indicative of people trying to save their jobs and reputations after a complete failure of government to do what people depend on them most for, protecting its citizens. And of politicians being politicians, trying to gain power during a time of instability.
