2. We know they knew.
I think everyone with half a brain knows it. The problem is, what are we going to do about it? The scandal that this is now implicates the entire executive branch, a significant percentage of congress, all of the national corporate media and, last but not least, a perhaps radical but nevertheless strategic element within the military.

In short whether they merely allowed it to happen or orchistrated it to some degree, the fact that they did it in broad day light and have, so far, gotten away with it, indicates the level of both their power and desperation. If they have done this, there is no telling what they can and will do if directly threatened. In the absence of media induced awareness, in the absence of first hand witnesses to wrong doing or "smoking guns" of some other sort, what exactly IS our legal recourse against these perps?

In any case, they can and do drape themselves in the cloak of National Security. If, as many suspect, PEAK OIL is the MOTIVE behind 9/11, it can be argued that however heinous the crime, it IS a National Security issue.
