Who would have looked at the WTC and the Pentagon and faulted the government for that action?

I considered that myself. Basically, I think it would be an open admission, the first one at that, that "we" kill our own. If they admit it once, then it gives credibility to many "conspiracy theories". I think "they"(after much discussion, Im sure) saw the best course of action to be to perpetuate this story about heroes(dont get me wrong, Im not doubting they tried and possibly succeeded). The government may have consdiered that they would tell the truth after the initial shock was over, but after the stories of the phone calls came out, why say, "Yeh, they were heroes, but we shot it down and can never know if the passengers may have been able to stop it". There would be no reason to tell the truth.
And delving further into "conspiracy land", lets say the passengers had been able to stop the hijackers, and land the plane safely. Is it possible that the passengers may have seen or heard something that would implicate people other than foreign terrorists, or give serious doubt to "how this all happened"? I don't know myself, and I'm not saying this was the case, but it easily could have been. There have been dozens of threads theorizing all sorts of things about 9/11, some of which are surely pure BS. But who knows, really? Its best to keep an open mind. The government has given us no reason to trust it lately.
I personally doubt most of those theories, but I believe we shot it down as a precaution.
