Le Monde diplomatique asks "Was 9/11 an inside job?" in its Norway edition, also read in Sweden and Denmark:

"9/11TRUTH: More and more people in the USA are convinced that the American authorities are concealing their involvement in the September 11th tragedy. Statements from witnesses, marked confidential for several years, now indicate that controlled demolition may have taken place. The US government had long anticipated such an incident - as the Republican document from 2000, "Rebuilding America's Defenses", indicates. The 9/11 Truth organisation believes that the USA probably orchestrated the catastrophe in order to justify the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the curtailing of civil liberties within the US through the introduction of The Patriot Act.

In the just-published issue of Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. writes:

"Like many Americans, I spent the evening of the 2004 election watching the returns on television and wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong. By midnight, the official tallies showed a decisive lead for George Bush -- and the next day, lacking enough legal evidence to contest the results, Kerry conceded. Republicans derided anyone who expressed doubts about Bush's victory as nut cases in 'tinfoil hats,' while the national media, with few exceptions, did little to question the validity of the election. The Washington Post immediately dismissed allegations of fraud as 'conspiracy theories,'(1) and The New York Times declared that 'there is no evidence of vote theft or errors on a large scale.'(2)"

I'm a Finn researching the events of September 11th. As the discussants on these forums often don't seem to be able to really discuss issues, I thought it might be profitable to just exemplify some of the reasons why many of my countrymen and -women find it difficult to believe the official story of 9/11.

The point below is therefore not which side of the argument is right, but to shed light on what factors cause many of us to be disbelievers. I will show that such disbelief has its grounds in official secrecy, lack of transparency, and unresolved problems in the official story. The doubts and disbelief cannot be expelled through name calling, but only by thorough, open research, which to a large extent still has to be done by the authorities. Read More
