And at any rate, it's irrelevant: The pipeline was just that - a pipeline - it was just a way to ship the same oil to the same eventual destination.

Someone above mentioned war profiteering? How does that work? You mean to tell me they were willing to risk getting caught killing thousands of innocent Americans and billions of dollars hoping they could profit off of us invading another country?

I also heard asbestos the other day, which was new to me. I'm pretty confident the owners of the WTC had insurance for this type of thing - in the event they declared the WTC uninhabitable, it would have been covered by insurance. Besides, the WTC was owned by a government organization. That's like saying the local school district decided to blow up a school killing hundreds of students because of asbestos.

At the end of the day, there is no logical reason for anyone in the US to want this.
