"It was just under 400 years ago that religiously motivated terrorists attempted to blow up parliament....(Historians) have claimed the plot was the work of Cecil (spy chief of King James), designed to discredit the English Catholics..."
Would a government stoop to such low trickery?
US GOVERNMENT ARCHIVES : 1962 -
The Pentagon discussed a plan called Operation Northwoods whereby the CIA would carry out terrorist acts against Americans, and then blame the Cubans so that the US would have an excuse for invading Cuba. Operation Northwoods would have involved shooting down an aircraft, sinking a US ship and blowing up buildings in Miami and Washington.
ANDREAS VON BUELOW, FORMER GERMAN MINISTER OF TECHNOLOGY 13/1/02:
in Tagesspiegel (newspaper) he explains that he does NOT believe the CIA/FBI version of the events of September 11. He considers that there has been "brainwashing of the Western mass democracies." He believes the plot against Islam began with two Americans deeply involved with US intelligence : Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samuel Huntington. In the mid 1990's Huntington declared that the USA needed someone they could hate, so as to strengthen US patriotism. (Kissinger and Condoliza Rice stated similar views at that time).
Von Buelow reminds us that it was Brzezinski who thought up the idea of organising Islamic terrorists to cause trouble in Afghanistan (so as to lure the Russians into that country). Von Buelow points out that the attacks of 11 September needed "backing from the secret apparatuses of state and industry." He also explains that since 11 September certain intelligence agencies may have been have spreading false stories to confuse the public.

You want my opinion? There should be an independent investigation of the events of 11 September as the evidence points to there being something 'fishy' going on. I will certainly not be voting for any MP who has sided with Herr Bush or Herr Blair in their bombing campaign.
