59. If you want to believe in political collaboration by the neo-cons then that's one thing.

The attackers sure as hell had help from Saudi Arabia to help fund all that travel and training, and members of the House of Saud have some very long and deep connections with some of those bastards in the GOP. Personally I think if anything happened there, it was probably much less blatant and planned out as some people think, but given some of the horrific things the CIA have done in the past, I wouldn't blame anyone for their suspicions.

When it comes to the actual practicalities of the attack though, it's just totally unnecessary to build some huge conspiracy, and it undermines efforts to actually hold the people responsible to account. All this stuff about controlled explosions and so on doesn't make any rational sense. There was no need for the towers to actually fall, the fact they'd just flown planes into the heart of America already gave the causus belli for revenge. Yet apparently we're supposed to believe that they deliberately blew up the towers killing thousands more people, yet were careful enough to ensure they made them fall straight downwards so no additional damage was done? Come on now..

All this does is give ammunition to the people who don't want a proper investigation, because they can paint the people asking for it as conspiracy nutjobs.
