49. Pearl Harbor was different from 911

Getting to the last part first, I'm talking about theories where the government actually destroyed the towers. Besides that, I don't know what you're asking.

It's not true that some government officials knew Japan was going to invade Pearl Harbor.

Though, yes, the evidence was there. I suggest reading Leonard Mlodinov's The Drunkards Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives. See what he has to say about the advanced evidence of Japan's invasion, and how it was lost in the noise. The evidence was only obvious in hindsight, as everything always is.

That's fundamentally different from what happened with 911. Nothing was lost in the noise. They brought it to the President and told him directly. And he ignored it. The officials did their job. The executive was snoozing, or vacationing.
