There are so many glaring inconsistencies regarding the hijackers, the planes, the passengers, the destruction of the buildings, the war games, the NORAD response and the aftermath of the events that have never been explained (and probably never will be). To just say that all "conspiracy theories" around these issues have no merit is either ignorance in the extreme or denial.
I was under the impression with reading reviews that the conspiracy was implied by the close connection between the Bush Admin. and the Saudis. Is that not the case?
No, Gary, it is the case. Bush family and House of Saud are long time business partners and one could say 'friends' as much as people moving in those circles call their strategic alliances'friendships'. I am interested to read the Summers book. I find it strange that he is dismissing 'conspiracy' in this event, which is replete with them, even if some/many are false, given his own knowledge and writing of other historical conspiracies.
