"The most controversial and disturbing aspect of the entire scenario of the War on Terror involves questions raised but not explored by U.S. media or the 9/11 Commission about possible American government complicity in the 9/11 attacks. Specific issues include these: plans already drawn up for an invasion of Afghanistan in summer 2001; at least four or as many as six war-game exercises going on that day, so that in some cases FAA employees were unable to be sure which blips were actual hijacked planes and which were decoys; the massive purchase of puts on stocks for United and American Airlines, betting that their value would drastically decrease, which they did in the wake of the attacks; the scientific and engineering claims that even exploding jet fuel would not have led to the collapse of steel towers, which have never before collapsed in such a manner (including the collapse of the WTC 7 building much later in the afternoon, though not hit by an aircraft); the unprecedented delay in scrambling fighter jets to intercept the hijacked planes; and evidence suggesting that Flight 93 may have been shot down."
