More than one-third of Americans suspect federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new poll. The survey also found that 16 percent of Americans speculate that secretly planted explosives, not burning passenger jets, were the real reason the massive Twin Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed.

The national Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll of 1,010 adults also found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, with 54 percent saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be.

Widespread resentment and alienation toward the national government appears to be fueling a growing acceptance of conspiracy theories about the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Suspicions that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job quickly have become nearly as popular as decades-old conspiracy theories that the federal government was responsible for President John Kennedy's assassination and that it has covered up proof of space aliens.

Seventy percent of people who give credence to these theories also say they've become angrier with the federal government than they used to be.

Thirty-six percent of respondents overall said it is "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them "because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East."

"One out of three sounds high, but that may very well be right," said Lee Hamilton, former vice chairman of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.

His congressionally appointed investigation concluded that federal officials bungled their attempts to prevent, but

1/3 of Americans are still drinking water from galvanized pipes.

I thought one of the more reprehensible aspects of that debacle was old Algore commenting how the families should be proud that their sons died "in the service of the UN".

I would totally agree that the WOT is better fought in Afghanistan or Iraq than on the streets of New York or London. Going to be a long war though.

So 1 in 3 Americans polled here are barking moonbats. Haven't we known about this since the 2000 election?

I still know people who don't register because they think that's how they get picked for jury duty!

Rule 3. LISTS OF POTENTIAL JURORS

On or before July 1st of each year, the jury commission for each county shall gather lists of names and addresses of persons residing in its county. The lists shall include registered voters, licensed drivers and other residents of the county who request to be added to the list of potential jurors.

It's amazing how many people out there think Bush, Cheney, Haliburton and big oil are the puppet masters pulling all the strings.

I think this group is the reason the US hasn't embarked on an Apollo-like program to achieve energy independence, but I don't think they destroyed the twin towers.
