"Yes, the theory that the Dems wanted to use 911 for an excuse for more socialism- the modern day 'great depression' for their planned 'new deal'."
I remember hearing in 1999 from some strong Repulican supporters that the Dems had things lined up to slow the economy down if a Rep was elected. I never looked into it very hard because I didn't want to believe it back then. Now, in my opinion, it is very obvious.
I think it was deeper than that. With Able Danger, we know they knew. Can you imagine the Patriot Act with Janet Reno as AG? The power play would have been staggering.
Or martial law, disarming of Americans, and a UN take over - for our own safety, of course.
