9-11...Manufactured Pretext for Geopolitical Goals of Neo-Cons?
I believe 9-11 was the "Pearl Harbor" incident that the PNAC neo-cons needed/wanted in order to put their plan into action.

Was it the work of the 19 hijackers alone?

What information that has come to light since 9-11 makes you think that there were other forces responsible for 9-11?

For me, the first thing that made me think that 9-11 was a manufactured incident was when one of the hijacker's was identified by a passport found near the WTC. When the planes hit everything at the point of impact and the surrounding area was in flames.

When the towers came down they were a mix of twisted metal and tons of pulverized concrete yet some how the passport of that specific hijacker was "found".

Additional details and information:

1. this debunking essay clearly points to the true culprits, IMO

By far the best debunking out there, because it uses hard science, rather than posing subjective questions. It's a great read.

5. On closer reading this site is OK but makes
many assertions but doesn't back them up.

3. First
Pearl Harbor wasn't planned by anyone but the Japanese. Reading history, it is clear that the attack on Pearl harbor was truly a surprise attack.

Second, after the fact, if one studies everything about an incident and looks at all the conflicting accounts, it is very easy to come up with versions that conflict with the official story.
Discrepancies produce questions, and questions lead the tinfoil hat and black helicopter brigade to develop all kinds of scenarios.

attack.

The declassified internal memos between the President and his advisors and cabinet, as well as the diary entries of the of the major govt officals of the time show quite clearly that Pearl Harbor was not only expected but provoked.

I refer you to Gar Alpovitz well researced and meticulously cited Atomic Dipolmacy
