In the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (February 26, 1993) a car bomb was detonated by Radical Islamic terrorists in the underground parking garage below Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City. The 1,500-lb (680 kg) urea nitrate-fuel oil device was intended to knock the North Tower (Tower One) into Tower Two, bringing both towers down and killing 250,000 people. [1] It failed to do so, but did kill six people and injured 1,042

Looking at lineages, the CIA's parent agency OSS was largely created and trained by British intelligence; MI6 and MI5 have long ties to Muslim Brotherhood (basically, they created it as a stay-behind), and many or most of the models of covert action, disinfo and etc. that we find come from Britain, just as our modern world commerce system derives from the activities in the Square Mile. Radical Islamic revival? mosques in London. World-spanning empire, greatest since Roman Empire, country without constitution and where elite get enormous special privileges and, essentially, their own House of Parliament? Country mostly responsible for bringing Western civilization to the four corners of the Earth? Country that hasn't been invaded by land in God knows how long, that hasn't been the subject of a revolution in, what, 300+ years? Anglo-American conspiracy?
I'm not Lyndon Larouche, but it often seems that most paths lead back to London. Oh yeah, I forgot, origin of Freemasonry.

If I had the answer, I would tell you.

In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center. In another exercise, jets performed a mock shootdown over the Atlantic Ocean of a jet supposedly laden with chemical poisons headed toward a target in the United States. In a third scenario, the target was the Pentagon — but that drill was not run after Defense officials said it was unrealistic, NORAD and Defense officials say.
So even the government had simulations of EXACTLY what happened.
Also, a 1999 analysis warned of suicide plane hijackings.

And the history of attempts to use planes as weapons:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m ... i_96268286
Al Qaeda had planned attacks in London, Paris, Marseilles, Strasbourg, Singapore, and Rome, but most of the conspirators were arrested a short time after the Sept. 11 attacks. Meanwhile, no one had hijacked an aircraft in the U.S. using a "real" weapon in almost 15 years, although crashing planes into structures is not new. The Israelis shot down a Libyan jetliner they said was headed for a building in Tel Aviv in the 1980s. A Cessna 150 fell 50 yards short of the White House in September, 1994. French commandos prevented a jumbo jet, hijacked in Algeria by the Armed Islamic Group, from crashing into the Eiffel Tower the following December. In the mid 1990s, terrorist Ramzi Yousef plotted to have his friend Abdul Hakim Murad fly a light plane loaded with chemical weapons into CIA headquarters at Langley, Va., or to have him spray the area with poison gas. A Turkish hijacker attempted to crash an aircraft into the tomb of former Pres. Kemal Ataturk in Ankara in 1998. With enhanced security on at airports and passengers on commercial airliners who will react to any danger, this threat has diminished.
And you think a group of conspiracy writers couldn't have come up with the idea of flying planes into buildings?!

With something like two decades of an Islamic-radical history of hijacking planes PLUS bombing attempts on the WTC, in an attempt to bring the towers down, it is no strained stretch of the imagination that could put the two things together.
That is how the creative mind works.

It wasn't. Go back to page one of this thread and review.
Seriously, I don't mean to be condescending, but your question has been covered on this thread already. 8)
Look, when people are participating in a shared intellectual environment, sometimes ideas that are similar or even exactly alike form in different heads. And with satellite and cable and all sorts of international news, bin Laden and the Gunmen writers were sharing the same (or parts of the same) intellectual culture.
It is quite conceivable that the idea was developed independently in both camps. They shared a moment in history. Unfortunately, truth is more brutal than fiction...
what I believe is the LIKELIHOOD that the story was planted for the primary purpose of discrediting conspiracy theorists who saw the bloody hands of Bush and Cheney involved in the carrying out of the 9-11 attacks.

Inoculation theory, to me, is the most plausible explanation of the scary accurateness of the episode which occurred in reality on 9-11.
.....
I guess I am trying to drum into this board the extent of the use of inoculation in black or psyops. I think this is a good example of it even though absolute proof may not be there, plenty of evidence IS there that this is the case. I think the argument for a planned psyop of inoculation was at work in this case is very strong.
