I'm not saying there isn't some cover-up involved. Any time something that big happens, a lot of jobs and reputations are on the line, so I wouldn't doubt that some powers-that-be tried to influence the analysis or the media spin.
But to say that it's an inside job from start to finish? Let's say it is an inside job. How many individuals would need to be involved? What would be their incentive? What are the chances that every single one of them was 100% dedicated and didn't leak any information?
Compare what people have to gain versus what they have to lose. Someone dedicates their life to blowing up fellow Americans so that some oil company can increase their profit margins?
There either needs to be some sort of brainwashing program, where dozens of young soldiers were convinced they had to take part, or there was heavy blackmailing, where some higher-up coerced people to participate by threatening their families.
Regardless, I just don't see things adding up.
I will leave open the possibility that it was an inside job just because, who knows... But, let's be honest, if this was an inside job, it was kind of stupid. If someone was trying to control the world, you'd think they'd come up with better ideas for controlling people and making money.
