I really hate the conspiracy hypotheses around 9/11 because most make no sense. People forget that the more people that know a secret, the more likely it will be leaked, so the the idea that it was an inside job, or demolished, is pretty unlikely. In the worst case, the Bush admin let it happen via inaction rather than direct participation, and in the best case they were incompetent.

Yea, like the Manhattan project. Secret project with thousands of workers, and everyone found out about that because there were leaks... oh wait

The existence of the project was well known to thousands of people, but the only people that new the details were sequestered at Los Alamos, and numbered in the 10s. I recall Richard Feynman's book which described how his wife regularly received letters from him that were opened and censored in transit. And yes, even Germany knew of the "Manhattan Project", but didn't know what it was.
