Does it really matter who actually did the details of 9/11? You can hire anyone to do anything.

Isn't it more important who PLANNED it and who ALLOWED it to happen?

Unless it's true that a counter-terrorism exercise was actually planned and coordinated by the CIA for the WTC (where they had a building) on September 11, 2001 and various agencies were participating. Undoubtedly the US military knew about this and took no action because it was just an exercise. The problem is, it turned out to be REAL, either because the planners intended this or because the exercise got hijacked.

There seems to be on-the-record information in a few places about this exercise, the date and location, what the mock scenario would be (exactly what it was), who was coordinating it (CIA) and which agencies were participating.

I've read a lot of theories about 9/11, but this one (which is documented and not a theory) is the only one that seems to account for why the military was stood down.

I find it very interesting that the CIA WTC building went down before the main towers. And guess which one is being rebuilt first?

If I had to point a finger, it would be at the CIA. Of course, we know they'd NEVER do something like that in their own back yard, unless...

Unless they needed an "event" for their agenda.

Look around. The pieces are out there, on record, for anyone to put together.

Well, clearly the defense system was down. You still don't hear much about the North Korean jet that landed in Alaska that day.

You also don't hear much about the fact that FEMA (US emergency mesures agency) was on the scene of the crime the day BEFORE it happened.

This would also account for why Bush just went on reading to school children. It was only (supposed to be) an exercise.

Clear, nicely written...

...but completely useless. You haven't provided a single reference, so how can anyone verify it is true? For example, where is the on-the-record information about this exercise? Give us a link to a website, tell us what newspaper you read it in, so we can go and find the information for ourselves.

I'm not saying your making this up. For all I know, it could be true, but because you haven't provided any references, why should I believe this story over the dozen or so other 911 conspiracies that are doing the rounds?

can i just point out here that "officially" precious little information surrounding the events of september 11 can be described as "fact"...there has been no court action...there has been no official investigation...all we are left with is speculation whipped up by the media...in fact we have what has become commonplace within our society 'a trial by media'...in fact so pervasive and effective has this been, that a billion people around the world have been effectively programmed into reciting the script that the bad guy in this affair is some turban wearing 'evildoer' living in the backwoods of afghanistan...WHOEVER committed the "acts of terror" or "a legitimate act of war" (depending on whose 'side' your on) is up to a court of law to decide...however, that matters little now...what chance of a fair, indepedent and objective trial now assuming the alleged perpertrator osama bin laden is caught? every american not living in a nuclear bunker and cut off from every vestige of the mass media is convinced or programmed (take your pick) "HE DUNNED IT"!

Viv, thanks for the reference. It doesn't really back up what is being said in the above story.

For example, it doesn't say there was a multi-agency counter terrorism exercise led by the CIA happening on 911. It does refer to an exercise planned by a relatively small government office with some connections to the CIA.

But more importantly, it does not back up the claim central to this story that the military did not respond because of this exercise. I'm rather dubious that even the US military could be stupid enough to confuse planes slamming into the WTC with an exercise hundreds of miles away in which personell at a government office simulated a plane crash by blocking off a couple of stair wells.
