So… now that the dust has settled

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the CIA planned the attack. But I'm gonna guess that they knew about some plan, but let it happen. Of course, not everyone in the Administration/Pentagon/etc was in on it, just some key players who were able to create confusion, like jets being scrambled by NORAD for a drill that involved a scenario where US commercial airliners are hijacked at exactly the same time as the real hijacking was going on. Perhaps they even green lighted the terrorists to come to the US, knowing they are planning an attack, etc.
CIA/whatever doesn't have to be the mastermind, just complicit in it. Much like the NZ and AUS intelligence services warned the US that the Japanese are moving their fleet and planning a big attack. The US moved all its carriers out of Pearl Harbour for a drill (what a lucky coincidence!) and left aging destroyers in the port to be attacked and destroyed. Sea battles between battleships were a thing of the past, new warfare was carriers, bombers, submarines, the US could afford to lose a few ships in Pearl Harbor, it was the carriers the Japanese wanted to destroy.

Reactionaries in burgerland shoot up other burgers daily in the name of saving burgerland. Reactionaries in other countries hating burgerland and committing 9/11 isn't surprise. The U.S. right were already hungry for war and were happy for an excuse for it.
I've been deep in the reactionary rabbit hole and I know this sort of shit is the logical conclusion to reactionary thought. Why do you think the holocaust happened? Why do you think most terrorist acts are committed by reactionaries? Luckily I eventually went left and radically changed my mindset. Don't underestimate the inhumanity reactionaries are willing to commit. They are far worse than you believe.

Both. Saudi Arabia carried out the attack. Bush had received intel from the CIA that the Saudis were planning it but decided to do nothing to stop it because he wanted an excuse to invade the Middle East.

A better question is why would elements of the Saudi state carry out an attack on their most important ally?
Parker Cruz
Why would America frame a Saudi Arabian for the hijacking when it very clearly wanted to protect Saudi Arabia from suspicion and would go on to use the attacks to go after countries other than Saudi Arabia?
