(14,178 posts)IMO, they purposely did not pursue leads of suspects that were living in Florida. They did not amp up security or set up any kind of watch for these suspects at airports, even though they were warned of a plane attack. They must have known the date as well. As too many coincidences occurred together with both Bush and Cheney out of Capital Hill. Cheney ordering fighter jets to the other side of the country.
And the obvious demolition of building 7 raises the probability that they also had installed detonating devices on every floor in the twin towers as well. This was backed up by witnesses hearing the explosions but also the visual evidence shows small explosions occurring just before each floor fell.
I think they kept a hands off approach as much as possible, but helped facilitate when they thought they needed to. And the detonations were installed because they were either also concerned for the property destruction if the buildings had actually collapsed naturally. Or more likely they knew, as most engineers do, that a jet fuel explosion would not in itself, cause a building that size and structure to collapse. And in the "two birds with one stone" vein, that meant they could also destroy building 7 the same way, and that would get lost in the shuffle. In Building 7 large numbers of case files for ongoing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) were conveniently destroyed in the collapse.
