You are getting away from the politics, Andrew, which is completely 
understandable.

I am all for asking intelligent questions but not if they are based 
on hypotheses that are more far-fetched than anything ever seen in a 
James Bond novel. To even entertain the possibility that Larry 
Silverstein knew in advance that the WTC would be attacked on 9/11 is 
ludicrous. This hypothesis would be based on the combination of a NYC 
real estate magnate, a cabal within the US government, Arab CIA 
agents pretending to be jihadists carrying out a mission to whip the 
US population into a war fever against the brethren in clear 
violation of *political logic* and *history*. I try to imagine 
meetings between Mohammad Atta and fellow CIA members based on this 
premise. I read plenty of James Bond novels when I was young, but I 
can't picture that.
