Everyone has heard about 9/11. Some had even witnessed the very fall of the Twin
Towers themselves, but a question that has been posed countless times in the past is "did the
government have a hand in 9/11?" No one knows the whole story behind the terrorist attacks,
although many have come up with not only crackpot theories that says it is simply one large
conspiracy, but also compelling arguements that offer insight into this unfortunate experience
in American history.
There are two online articles I recently found on the subject. The first is entitled
"Verifiable Media Reports on 9/11" from wanttoknow.info. It isn't so much an article as it
is a complete timeline of events leading up to 9/11, although the first paragraph seems to refer to
the event as "one of the most pivotal events in world history." They also go on to say "Its impact
will be felt for years to come." There are several significant points they reference to help you
come to your own conclusion. One fact is that the government knew about the attacks on the
World Trade Center ahead of time, from several different sources. One paragraph reads "An
Iranian man known as Ali S. in a German jail repeatedly phones US law enforcement to warn of
an imminent attack on the WTC in the week of September 9-15. He calls it 'an attack that will
change the world.' After a month of badgering his prison guards, he is finally able to call the
White House 14 times in the days before the attack. German police later confirm the calls."
A later paragraph reads "Two days after 9/11, Newsweek reports: 'The state of alert had
been high during the past two weeks. A particularly urgent warning may have been received the
night before the attacks, causing some top Pentagon brass to cancel a trip. Why that same
information was not available to the 266 people who died aboard the four hijacked commercial
aircraft may become a hot topic on the Hill."...
