I agree, and that's why I don't believe in them.

But consider this:

The reason I don't think 9/11 was an inside job isn't that I don't think there are people in Washington or in -- say -- the defense industry who would do such a thing. There surely are. I don't think it was an inside job because I doubt there are enough of such people or that they are cooperative or competent enough to pull of something of that magnitude and audacity.

But yeah, I think there are people who'd do it. Consider how ugly a statement that is about our leaders.

We have a problem.

That makes very little sense.

There obviously were enough people who could pull off such an atrocity. (Unless you think it was all done with mirrors and holograms).

And, looking at other attacks which have come out as state sponsored (Glenanne gang), or other conspiracies (Iran–Contra) - there are obviously enough people within "the system" who demonstrably have pulled off such plots.

The only questions left are...

Was X an "inside job"? If so, how high up did it go?

(For the record, I don't have an opinion on 9/11 or any other attacks).

It's not the number of people needed to fly a plane; that's a couple people per plane. It's the enormous number of people that would have to be involved in the conspiracy timeline all maintaining perfect secrecy.
