Yes, that's right. When it comes to the events surrounding 9/11, I'm as simple as they get. Not that it didn't affect me, because it did in as much as it affected the entire world. But this is about what seems most important and why I've suspended my belief about the official story. There'll be no pictures or videos, only opinion and here is mine:

fine details... some fascinating, others not so much but, mostly, it seems like nit-picky navel-gazing. There seems to be a lot of disinformation getting salted into the mix, great gobs of angry responses from one side of the fence or the other and the arguments go on and on, just like with the JFK assassination. No resolution, lots of musings and no concrete analysis which advances a conclusion that satisfies an angry global public.

The Twin Towers were NOT in a bad state. At the time of the attacks, the occupancy of the WTC was 96%. If you are speaking of the asbestos, only one of the towers had some in it.
2000
The WTC reaches its highest occupancy rate.

U.S. District Judge John W. Bissell earlier this month threw out the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey's final claims in a longstanding suit against dozens of insurers over coverage of more than $600 million in asbestos abatement costs at the World Trade Center, New York's three major airports and other Port Authority properties.

Asbestos and 9/11
More than 1,000 tons of asbestos are thought to have been released into the air during the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York on 9/11.
en.wikipedia.org...
Once the initial structures of the towers were completed, the steel received a special coating. A slurry mixture of cement and asbestos was sprayed onto the beams and columns in order to make them less vulnerable to heat. Asbestos is a material that can withstand great amounts of heat, and for that reason, was often used in the construction of large structures as an insulator. Right in the midst of the WTC tower construction, the spraying of asbestos and cement was banned by the York City Council.
The halting of the asbestos and cement spraying unfortunately, came a year or two late. Hundreds of tons of the material had already been applied to the towers. Some of the asbestos and cement was removed through an abatement program, but not enough to constitute a remaining safe level. The beams and columns were not the only place where the asbestos was used in the World Trade Center towers. It was used in other places in the building including pipe lines and places where the asbestos would not generally become friable and airborne. However, under such conditions as those of September 11th, it was inevitable that the asbestos would loosen and become a harmful, airborne threat.

Cate Jenkins, Ph.D., a senior chemist in the EPA’s Hazardous Waste Identification Division, writes in a memo to Monona Rossol of the Arts, Crafts, and Theater Safety (ACTS) organization that the EPA is ignoring federal asbestos-abatement laws in buildings close to the World Trade Center site. The 22-year veteran of the agency says that EPA officials “effectively waived” the EPA’s “strict national regulations for removal and disposal of asbestos contaminated dust” by advising residents and commercial building managers in Lower Manhattan to follow the “extremely lenient (and arguably illegal) asbestos guidelines of the New York City Department of Health.” She notes that EPA testing discovered the presence of asbestos levels above the one percent “action level” in dust samples from at least 30 locations, some of which were located within five to seven blocks of Ground Zero. After the memo is reported in the New York Daily News, EPA officials will assert that Jenkins doesn’t understand the law (see (November 19, 2001)).

The towers destroyed on September 11th contained large amounts of asbestos which became airborne after the attacks. Downtown Manhattan was enveloped in an immense cloud of dust and rubble. There are a number of reports which indicate that those who worked in, lived near, or volunteered at Ground Zero have suffered lung ailments due to the destruction of the buildings. More than 90% of those involved in rescue efforts have developed a severe cough because of their exposure to asbestos at the site. Although they may only have trouble breathing at this point, the potential for them to develop a form of asbestos cancer still exists.

THE GW BUSH - OSAMA BIN LADIN CONNECTION
James R. Bath, friend and neighbor of George W. Bush, was used as a cash funnel from Osama bin Laden's rich father, Sheikh bin Laden, to set George W. Bush up in business, according to reputable sources from the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The connection between GW Bush, the bin Laden family, and the Bank Commerce Credit International (BCCI) is well documented
-snip-
Osama bin Laden, whose funds were inherited from his father, Sheikh bin Laden's BCCI investments, has been operating out of Afghanistan since he was established as a conduit for CIA funds in the 1980's. "Afghanistan was by far the biggest; it was, in fact, the biggest CIA operation of all time, both in terms of dollars spent ($5-$6 billion) and personnel involved..."
from the book The CIA's Greatest Hits.

The twin towers had been ordered to be deconstructed by 2007 with an epa study stating no explosives could be used. There is also the 15 billion of insider trading that went on world-wide where there were no arrests or punishments dealt.
You must remember that to be a conspiracy it must have an illegal component. As the event was approved and protected by the U.S Government it was therefore not illegal. All the non-U.S. deaths were approved by their own governments. No laws were broken.
