Conspiracy does happen at the highest levels ( I'm guessing you remember Watergate and all the other ____gates since) and even though I agree with you that reverse engineering an event like 9/11 to fit the facts you have at your disposal is not the same thing as "knowing" what really happened. Still I see no reason to believe in what we are being told just because the source of the information is the office of the President. GW is a liar or perhaps a politician is expected to say what is expedient not what is true.
