Do you think the American government is hiding information about the 9/11/01 attacks from the American people?

It might be withholding some information on the grounds of national security of for legal reasons but in the main the events of that day are so well documented that it would be difficult to withold any of the salient facts.\n\nThere are conspiracy theories that 9/11 was orchestrated by the FBI and other US agencies but as with all conspiracy theories, they don't stand up to even the most basic of examinations and are based on ignorance not fact.

Every Government has secrets. They have to to keep us safe.  Unless you have a newspaper that digs and digs to find out and puts them on the front page so our enemies can know and change their tactics. And someone in Congress that leaks to the radical left media news papers. No wonder the President hates to tell Congress whats going on. I bet the New York Times will be found out that they are paying for those leaks. How do you have FACTS that we are being lied to? The left wing media and weird websites?

I have nothing to hide. I understand the fears that some people have of a government with unlimited secret controls, but those are usually your conspiracy buffs, anyway.\n\nSpy, guys... spy. We are living in the greatest and strongest nation in the world, and many resent us for that. Sadly, the greatest harm to our way of life will come from within our own borders,

Of course.  That is what has made me laugh about this wire tapping NSA situation.  We have been watched since the government realized years and years ago they can't trust the american people. Every thing you do is recorded and stored somewhere.  We are being watched and we will always be watched.

I think that's what provoked the US to begin with, 9-11.   Radical Islamic terrorists do not care about little details like families.

i think the government hides secrets from everyone.

No.\n\nBut if someone did, why would they reveal it here?

It is certainly hard to keep the truth under wraps with the masses involved on the internet the truth eventually surfaces. The American people have been lied to and are still being lied to.\n\nThe answer is YES!!!!!

I don't think it's possible to truly know that, without knowing about everything the government has been or is involved in, which would probably threaten "national security" and, more importantly to them, cost some politicians their jobs, and possibly their freedom, if all was revealed to us.

Yes, I do.  It's very sobering to become a sceptical person about our government and to realize that they would knowingly condone this heinous act of murder.\nI once was one who believed that Al-Qaeda was soley behind 9/11.  Then about 2 months ago my wife brought home a DVD that reexamined all the evidence about how the WTC buildings collapsed, and it also showed a lot about the Pentagon attack.  Yes, I once was a person who thought that all these "conspiracy theorists" were just a bunch of nut cakes.  But, again, the physical evidence about what happened is quite shocking. \nThe web page below contains a lot of technical articles.  It is also easy to find other web sites that present a lot of information.  If you go to an "official" web site about 9/11, it's interesting to see how they side-step the hard questions that are being presented and cannot be sufficiently answered by jets simply crashing into buildings.\nSo, what does all of this mean?  We, the American public, have been duped.  But, what does that really change?  Has any of our personal lives really changed all that much?  How much of a difference does it personally make to us if it was Al-Qaeda or our own government that murdered innocent American lives?\nAnd so, we go on.  We live each day.  I ask myself what can I possibly do to get the truth out?  Being on the other side, one of the "conspiracy" nuts, is hard .. it's hard because no one wants to believe you.

Unfortunately, yes.\n\nWe've cracked down on security, so it will be harder.  The terrorists know this, so their attack will be even more devestation than 9/11, I seriously fear.

Yes i do believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy!! People who say otherwise are just in denial or are too afraid to dig up dirt regarding the evidence which definitely pinpoints at the US government!! \n\nTo those people just visit this website and watch the video!\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6545313046180631815&q=contrary+9%2F11&pl=true\n\nI know you'll believe it was a conspiracy after you watch this!

NO!!!!  Go to www.popularmechanics.com and find the article about debunking the 9/11 myths.  And please, please, use your common sense!  Why in the WORLD would the government do something like that?  And HOW?!  It would take YEARS to come up with such an idea, and longer to go through with it.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  Quit watching Loose Change!

I can't speak for other American citizens, but here is what I have observed. I am too old to learn anything new, only confirm what I have known, or believed.\n1) our fereral government only knows how to react. Not to prevent.\n2) In our country, out of disaster, rises greed.\n3) Our federal government, state government and local government officials will never do the will of the common people, only the will of the rich people.\n4) Our mislead soldiers, sailors and marines have been duped again, into believing that they are defending freedom. What they are doing is defending an illusion. The illusion that the united states knows what is best for the world. They are spreading a belief. The department of defense should be defending. That is why it is not called the department of offense\n5) I agree that the perps of 9/11 should be brought to justice. Lets find them and bring them to justice already.\nThat would be justified, but that other stuff (Iraq) is based on one thing (refer to statement 3).

Its not that its too early... its just that i don't think people want to see something that it true and makes them sad. And the government hasnt even released the full report about flight 93. Some of it is going to be written by hollywood writers. We don't even know how it happened. And noone was even on that flighy anyway. Did anyone besides me happen to nitotce no airplane parts were found... or even dead bodies. \n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848&q=loose+change&pl=true\n\nView that video. It totally changed my view point on who the bad guys were on Sept. 11. Its 1 hour and 20 minutes long though... its called "Loose Change: 2nd Edition".

Here's a theory, maybe the government is using the media. Knowing they will report everything they hear, the government claims tactics they will use against terrorism which are actually false. The terrorist sects read this and change their tactics, maybe making it easier for us to catch them

You're right.  That's why some governments impose it.  They don't want their citizens to be aware of certain information that could lead to revolution against the gov't.
