Only now eleven years later is the press actually starting to cast doubt and ask "tough questions":

(These don't pertain to the collapses, directly, however they do poke at the weird, twisted thing lying in the dust there that is known as "The Official Story" or theory of 9/11) |
I didn't read your second link; I'm not responding to anything Fox news says. Ever.
The first link doesn't surprise me at all. Nearly all of the terrorists came from Saudi Arabia; It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was some kind of connection. Here in the US we see our government as one organization, but in a country like Saudi Arabia different areas of the government has different goals and doesn't always follow the "policy line".
And that's great that the press is asking questions.
But the questions they are asking indicates they believe that the government is telling the truth, at least about how it happened.
I believe it happened the way it's been explained to us. I also believe that there are some areas where the government was incorrect - sorry, we didn't have scientists at the point of impact watching exactly what happened, and we are having to piece it all together from tons of debris. But at the end of the day, two airplanes and a fire took out the towers.
Now, was some government agency in Saudi Arabia secretly planning this or funding this attack? Sure, anything is possible there.
