The anthrax outbreak "wasn't terrorism" either. Neither was Charles Bishop/Bishra's suicide flight into a bank despite what his suicide note said.

The authorities have lied to us in the past and denied any terrorist intent even when they knew otherwise.

Not saying that there was any deliberate action by "man" to cause this tragedy. Just saying that a denial means NOTHING, they have outright lied in the past.

I'm trying to figure out what makes a person WANT to think everything is a terror plot and will not believe otherwise.

On the contrary, I don't think they have ever LIED or tried to cover up a terrorist event. What they have done is made an important distinction between a delusional suicidal loner wannabe and an actionable conspiracy by an organized group with an identity and a political mission. That's not a lie. It makes a difference. It makes a difference in how a government should respond to it.

That's all.
